Details
The RoseCraft Blades Mosquito Lake Moose is based on a very old traditional Moose pattern. This two-bladed slip joint features a 2.8″ D2 clip point main blade and a 2.8″ spear point blade at the other end, both with heavy swedging, half stops, and brushed satin finishes. The covers are Vintage Moss Brown Bone, with brushed steel bolsters, steel liners, nickel silver pins, and the stainless steel Rosebud shield. It’s 4.1″ closed, 7.3″ open (main blade), and weighs 4.3oz. Based loosely on a very old Tree Brand pattern re-imagined by Andy Armstrong.
A note about RoseCraft’s bone handles: Bone is a natural handle material that varies in texture, pattern, and natural coloring. Every bone handled knife will look different, because bone isn’t identical. At RoseCraft, we don’t use dye to cover up what we think is the natural beauty of the bone in the handle. We use it to accentuate that natural beauty, and you’re going to see a lot of that gorgeous natural texture and pattern that is in your unique bone-handled knife. We love it, and hope you do too.
Safety + Care
SlipJoint Knife Safety (Short Version)
- NEVER try to catch a knife with an exposed blade.
- Don’t pierce anything, especially with pressure. Slip joint knives don’t lock open. Piercing cuts are a great way to have the knife fold over on your fingers.
- Open and close carefully with two hands, keeping fingers out of the blade’s path.
- Make sure the blade is fully open before using it — slip joints do not lock.
- Do not pry, twist, or force the blade.
- Always cut away from your body and keep your other hand clear.
- If the blade binds or sticks, stop to avoid accidental closure.
- Carry the knife closed in a dedicated pocket or slip. Lightly oil the pivot periodically.
- Don’t use the knife if knife feels loose, gritty, or unstable. Stop use until it is cleaned or inspected.
- Keep it clean, dry.
- Avoid using the knife when distracted or tired. Take extra care if you do use it.
- Store closed and out of reach of children.
Slip-Joint Knife Care
Either carry the knife in a slip or carry in a pocket by itself – no keys, coins, etc…
- Keep it clean & dry. Lightly oil the pivot periodically. Mineral oil works very nicely. No need for specialty oil.
- Don’t use the knife as a screw driver, pry bar, etc…. It is only for making cuts.
- We at Hendrix Classics & Co. provide three years of free sharpening services – you only payfor shipping. We will send you a discounted shipping label.
- Store the knife closed, clean, and dry.
- Avoid leaving the knife in damp environments that can weaken springs or cause rust.
