The RoseCraft Blades Ocoee River Kayak features a 2.33″ D2 K-Clip Blade with a brushed satin finish. It’s 2.7mm thick with a half stop. This one-bladed traditional slip joint features brushed steel bolsters, steel liners, and a steel RoseBud shield. The covers are split blue resin and burl wood. It’s 3.625″ closed, 5.9″ open, and weighs just 2.9oz. Designed by Andy Armstrong
The Ocoee River is based on an original “Kayak” pattern designed by Andy Armstrong. It’s a swell-center canoe with very different blade styles than you’d find on canoe pattern. This one-bladed version is also a “bare-head” because it has only lead bolsters.

The Kayak pattern by Andy Armstrong is wonderful and quite useful for me. The K-clip blade and handle design work great for me when whittling, as well as in everyday tasks. The thing that makes this iteration unique is the blue resin and burl wood covers. They are beautifully executed. The joining of the two materials is smooth and feels wonderful.

This is a well built , easy to use and carry knife that looks good. Small enough to disappear in your pocket, but big enough to handle most jobs.
