I've reviewed so many modern knives that it feels like the right time for a slight departure. My love for knives started with slipjoints—the kind your grandpa carried while cleaning his nails and reminiscing about the old days. But outside of a few manufacturers, traditional knife-making has faded. Case, Buck, and Schrade are still around, and you’ve got companies like GEC, Jack Wolf, and Peña keeping the flame alive, but the market is overwhelmingly modern.

Enter RoseCraft Blades. Founded by Andy Armstrong, a veteran in the industry, RoseCraft brings a fresh approach to traditional designs. His passion is evident in every pattern, blending heritage with innovation. And today, I’m looking at their Clinch River Button Lock—RoseCraft’s first foray into "modern traditionals."
