The RoseCraft Blades Lick Creek Loom Fixer is a one-bladed pattern that features a 2.7” D2 sheepsfoot blade with a brushed satin finish, a half-stop and heavy swedging. It has genuine Rose Madder Red Bone covers with brushed stainless steel bolsters, liners, and nickel silver pins. It introduces the “Diamonds” shield and is 3.875” closed, 6.5” overall, and weighs just 3.1oz. This pattern was inspired by other traditional Loom Fixer patterns and re-imagined by Andy Armstrong.
This is the first RoseCraft knife with Rose Madder Red Bone covers. They are lighter and brighter than our Red Apple Bone covers. Traditionally, Rose Madder is a red paint made from the pigment madder lake, a traditional lake pigment extracted from the common madder plant Rubia tinctorum. Our Rose Madder mimics this color and has almost a watercolor paint feel in some instances.
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.
Please note that RoseCraft names its traditional slip joint patterns after bodies of water in our home state of Tennessee. All but just a few of our 25 patterns bear names like Ocoee River, Obed Creek, Nolichucky, Loosahatchie, and French Broad to name just a few. This release is named under that same structure after the body of water known as Lick Creek located in Decatur County, Tennessee.
