    Bear and Son have really stepped up their game. Years back, their work was not this good. Over the last few months, I have bought several Bear and Son to support them.

    Both Barlows are very nice knives! In my opinion Bear & Sons is the way to go. For a USA company to put out such a great knife with a working man's price tag is AMAZING!!! Great content, I love traditional knife videos!

    Hi Brian, Army vet here. The Knife doctor sent me. I'm going with the Rose Craft. I'm a sucker for a bolster thread (whatever that groove on the bolster is called) It reminds me of a uniform cuff stripe.

    I have knives from both Rose Craft Blades and Bear & Son. I find that RCB has good quality, and very nice “presentation”with their packaging. Bear & Son likewise is high quality, but a lot less in price, as well as American made. No fancy box, just a nice, sharp knife that looks good. Where RCB shines is in their development of unique patterns, and resurrection of some old ones. My heart is with Bear & Son, but RCB is really tugging at me. 😮 Bryan, good to have a fellow Kentuckian talking knives on KZread!

    My Bear and Son 4" Barlow fit and finish was excellent. Great walk and talk. ... Major down side, the blade was not sharp and was thick behind the edge. Will never be a good slicer. That really disappointed me.
