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.

My knife arrived today and I’m very impressed with the build quality and materials used. It’s a bit larger than I thought it would be. This knife is a bit large for skinning squirrels but is the perfect size for processing a deer, beaver, coyotes, and hogs. It came exceptionally sharp.
