PLEASE NOTE: This item is “Second Quality” with one or more imperfections. This item is not “First Quality” and is sold at a discounted rate, because it does not meet our “First Quality” standard. The item pictured is an example of this pattern, NOT an image of the exact knife you will receive. While the item you receive will function as safely as any First Quality knife, it is ideal as a “user” or “tinkerer” not a collectible and is sold “as-is” with no return or refund after purchase.
What is a Second?
In general, Seconds have a “look” or “feel” that is not in line with First Quality. It will have one or more of the following imperfections: discoloration or wide variation in the handle dye, imperfect jigging, small cracks or fractures near pins, minor blade/bolster/shield imperfections like scratches or poor polish, minor blade wobble, weak or “mushy” blade stops, light pull between stops, poor blade centering (without rub), minor gapping in liners or between handle material and liners, and rough or unfinished edges or transition. Imperfections vary widely and you may or may not be able to find the imperfection that we found in QC.
The RoseCraft Blades French Broad Jack Black Sandalwood features a 3″ D2 Wharncliffe blade with a brushed satin finish. It’s 2.7mm thick and has a half stop. This one-bladed traditional slip joint features brushed steel bolsters, steel liners, and a steel shield. The covers are genuine Black Sandalwood. It’s 3.875″ closed, 6.8″ overall, and weighs 2.3oz. Based on a traditional pattern re-imagined by Andy Armstrong.
A note about RoseCraft’s wood handles: Wood is a natural material with natural grain. The pictures of this product show several examples of grain that can be found in this material. No two knives are the same, and while your knife will fall into the family of the variations show, it will be different.
