Knife review: Carl Schlieper ("German Eye") Stockman and Rough Rider Canoe

[MrPueber]

Thank you for your review, I always enjoy them a lot. I agree with the poster who said that it would be easier to open the sheepsfoot blade when the pen blade is closed, since there is much less stress on their common backspring. And a few words to tommytruth: Where do you think your cellphone/computer/TV has been manufactured? I can give you a hint: it's commie land.

As always great review. Eye brand is my favorite knife brand

On the German Eye, are the backsprings carbon steel or stainless? Also, the sheepsfoot blade will be a LOT easier to open when the spay blade isn't also open.

[MrDagon007]

@SianReynolds Hello, I think that the backsprings are stainless steel - at least they didn't get a patina yet. Cheers!

I hate rough rider with a passion .

[c0nsci0usness]

@mwillblade I just ordered 2 Rough Riders, but I also ordered a Case Sodbuster and a Buck 55 to balance it out :)

[tommytruth]

If you have to choose between the two, go with the German Eye. But here's a thought--how about buying an American made knife instead of one made in RED COMMUNIST China or Germany? Too many people buying imported knives are the reason that Schrade and Camillus, among others, are out of business.

[MrDagon007]

@tommytruth I'm a European, hence applying your reasoning then I should only buy European knives, and stop buying American knives such as Case for example... Would you agree with that?

In my little videos I rather try judge products on their own qualities, the economy has become globalised after all.

@tommytruth dude, I am as gung-ho a capitalist as Ayn Rand, but you cant blame someone for buying the best quality for the best price, even if it is from China. That's what Capitalism is. I will however buy American made because they are  usually warrantied for life.

@tommytruth dude, i am as gung-ho a capitalist as Ayn Rand, but you can't blame someone for buying the best quality for the best price, even if it is from China. That is what Capitalism is. Instead of demanding that people buy from us just give a good reason why we should pay the extra price. Possibly for the warranty that comes with most American made knives? that's why i buy American.

@tommytruth sorry accidentally triple posted :(

excellent revue

[bichettereds]

do you know exactly what type of steel the German Eye knives are made with?

[MrDagon007]

It is a not-stainless carbon steel, but I couldn't find the exact type. Anyone else?

[volhv24]

Fine review MrDagon007.

After review of your browse, it wanted to me to buy this knife.

[yobbos1]

Your appreciation for the excellent quality of RR knives is refreshing. There is a lot of China-bashing in the knife world and RR's quality should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about knives. They are deserving of the reputation they are beginning to develop. I own that very C Schlieper and like it very much although it is a bit big. Great review as always.

[garrity5]

damn, these two i love... wicked classy, the type of knife i'd love to own! where do you get your knives like these?

[MrDagon007]

As it seems I can't reply to "sebenzalover", what I wanted to answer is that the Roselli Bearclaw should be a really good (scandinavian) traditional whittling knife.

[sebenzalover]

Good review MrDagon007,

What is a good traditional whittler?

Any suggestions?
