Man, what a tough choice. I love the spear point of the RRR. I like the bolster better of the RRR as well. The burbon bone of the RCB is the winner for me. The fit and finish of the RBC, at least one mine, is much better than the RRR. I would say it's 6 of one and a half dozen of the other when it comes to which I would choose. I do like the little bit smaller size of the RRR over the RCB. Anyone looking to get either of these will be extremely happy with their choice for sure. Thanks for the video JB.
Well you know I love my triple r Barlow but that RCB looks fantastic as well. But I agree with you on the strength of the spring. Both great choices. Thanks
Just started watching yesterday and love it. I've not heard a bit of the knife snobbery crap. To each their own but just can't see the super steel crap. Nice to see someone appreciate a nice well made knife no matter the price. Also thanks for introducing me to rosecraft
I think I agree with you that Rosecraft just slightly may be a little better but both are fantastic. . I’m glad I don’t have to choose between them because I have both. They each bring something to the table and it’s great to have both.
I love both. I do like the look of that spear point blade, and I'm sure Andy will go there again in the future. I like to be able to open a knife by pinching the blade between my thumb and index finger and the Beaver Creek does that for me. Handling my examples of both the Beaver Creek seems to me to have just a little better build quality, though they probably came from the same builder.
I love both with the RRR edging out. Probably one of my favorite knife designs. I agree, some bone on the RRR would be awesome. I think it is past time for RRR to start adding bone options to their knives. I am over all the micarta. Looks like RCB is filling that void. Great video!!
My apologies for taking such a long time to watch this video. I really wanted more than just a moment to absorb all of this. This is a great video and you hit on a lot of really key points it really comes down to personal preference. But your points on the pull strength is spot-on. I prefer bone covers myself, and I am also a big Micarta fan. I'd love to see Andy produce the Beavercreek in different bone colors and different blade shapes. like for example a spear point or a clip point would be a great series. I am extremely happy with the Beavercreek Barlow as is. But he does have room to expand. Thank you for this wonderful video JB.
Awesome look and explanation on your thoughts JB, I really like the look of a clean bolster on a barlow pattern. I really appreciate you showing us these two side by side and the choice is clear for me now...I need both.😁😂
Love them both! Out of those two for me, the RRR17 win by a tiny amount, looks better. For me, the Loosahatchie Jack ,beats them both, just love it, the walk and talk, fit and finish is way above the cost.
Two great knives, both are high on my wish-list to get. Great review! I will probably get all 3, both the RCB knives and the RRR017… just so I don’t have to decide between them all 🤣
Hey JB 👊 Great comparison video, buddy 👌 I have to agree, I'd like to see a hybrid version between the two 👀 I enjoy a good Sheepsfoot and particularly love that 'full fat' Spearpoint, then add a natural material to the coverings, that would be lovely, with no lanyard hole! To finish off... include brass linings, and I'd prefer a stamp on the bolster & no shield - just saying 😉 Thanks for sharing buddy, Atb Gus 👍
Both are really nice knives. I have the RRR and see it as different than the RCB. Not only because the blade shape is different but mostly because the handle material is different. Call me shallow if you want but I place a lot of stock in the handle aesthetics/materials.
Both are really nice looking knives, but I think going just on looks because the Beaver Creek Barlow is the only one I have had in hand, I would choose the Beaver Creek over the RRR.
I liked the look of the RRR07 when it came out except for the tan micarta I agree it would look great with that bone handle, the pull definitely should be strong on a Barlow another minus but I would still like it better than the Beaver Creek, personal choice as always. 😁
As long as RoseCraft doesn't put a big fat spearpoint blade on that nice bone handle of theirs, the choice is quite easy actually; buy them both! Oh come on for that prizes you have to buy both. Thank you for daring to make a choice JB.
In High School I dated sisters. C was a brunette and L was a red head. Both beauts. We had to move before I had to choose. Kinda like that! I’ll take both knafs! Lol! 😂🤣 #dskfs
I would not even attempt to find a favorite...just glad as hell I have them. That said, the RR spring could have been stronger. In the end, I would probably do nothing more than cut fruit with any of these knives. The RRR017 started my desire for Barlows. To me the Rosecraft traditional knives are works of art and the only one I would use like a rented mule is the Appalachian Jack...the one I least wanted yet turned out I love the most. Not just a pretty face. Hopefully, RCB will offer different scales on some of these knives. The new French Broad Jack begs for Mother of Pearl scales.
Interesting. Another knife review where nothing is cut. As EDC style knives it would have been useful to see them perform some typical EDC tasks. 🤷🏻♂️ Other than that a nice table top comparison.
Cut tests can be altered. Knives can be made Sharper or more dull depending on how the person doing the video perceives the knife. I'm here to tell you what I like and don't like about a knife. If that isn't enough...sorry!
@@BigRedEDC As I said it was a nice table top comparison. 🤷🏻♂️ Yes, I guess if the video creator was not trustworthy and manipulated the results you are correct, cut tests can be altered through a variety of means. I prefer to believe most creators are honest folks who would not manipulate results based upon personal bias. I could be wrong. But in any event again thank you for the table top comparison.
@@BigRedEDC OK, but not sure what that has to do with my comment. The glass is either half full or half empty; I am a half full kind of person. Reliable “field” reviews can and are done all the time. But, there is no need to continue this discussion.
You can't go wrong with either knife. Both of them are lookers and extremely functional. We're fortunate to have so many options. Thanks for sharing.
Agree 100%!!!!
When Andy hits a home run, it’s deep out of the park. Still need to pick up that Rosecraft. Looks so good!
Absolutely Bill!!

2 very cool knives! Excellent comparison brother

I don't get wrapped up in the super steel game. I can appreciate a good value, well made knife at many levels! Rosecraft Blades are fantastic knives

Lol...right on Dean! I would say...get both and enjoy!!
Sweet traditional knives, all three would be nice in the pocket. Thanks for sharing BigRed, be safe.
They definitely are!

They are both very good knives without a doubt! You may be very correct on where they are built!
Absolutely amazing comparison JB. Two beautiful knives for sure.
Yes indeed Mike
Very cool video JB, i just picked up the RRR barlow on the secondary with tube for 30 bones. Im loving it. Still want to check out this RC Barlow
Nice Cheato!!!

I would love to see a Barlow in red bone and a spear point! You are correct...so many ways he could go!!
Both nice options. Probably boils down to what looks better to each individual. Awesome comparison.
Exactly Shamus
Too much billboarding going on the RCB. I like the RRR spear point over the RC blade. Thanks for making a choice!
Right on
WHEN YOUR RIGHT YOUR RIGHT , agree 100% , i like them both too , thanks for all the content mate , laters tatters
Thank you very much Paul.
Excellent comparison video, I really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
You should make more like it 😁
Both well worth the money !! Thanks for sharing !!
Oh absolutely Patrick
Excellent comparison video JB. I agree that they spear point with look good on the RC. Tough choice though, but I really like that bone!
Thanks as always Randy
Awesome look and explanation on your thoughts JB, I really like the look of a clean bolster on a barlow pattern. I really appreciate you showing us these two side by side and the choice is clear for me now...I need both.😁😂
Thanks so much Mark! I appreciate the suggestion! Both is the way to go in my mind!!
Love them both! Out of those two for me, the RRR17 win by a tiny amount, looks better. For me, the Loosahatchie Jack ,beats them both, just love it, the walk and talk, fit and finish is way above the cost.
Right on Daniel!
Great comparison! Will be interesting to see more of these as the portfolio of traditional knives grows, for both companies. 🤙
Some great knives coming from both!
Thanks for the comparison. I have the RRR and was considering the Rosecraft.
Very good!! Thanks for watching!
The RCB has my attention 💯
Awesome! It's a great knife!
Excellent video great comparison. Both are Great Looking 🔥.
Thanks so much Chad
2 knives I need to get my hands on 👍.
Right on Nate!
Good comparison video , I like them both JB and would be happy with either one , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
They are both very good knives!
I love the rose craft, I bought one…. It is excellent
Great knife for sure!
Both are very nice I do like the looks of the RCB a bit more. Great video comparing them 👍👍
Thanks for watching Joseph
Lol! Andy versus Andy! I don’t know, JB. I think Andy is going to win this one.
Lol...he probably will!
It would be a real "Sophie's Choice" for me. Bwahahahahaha! - Andy
Two great knives, both are high on my wish-list to get.
Great review!
I will probably get all 3, both the RCB knives and the RRR017… just so I don’t have to decide between them all 🤣
Thank you very much!
Love that Barlow! Rose Craft Blades are great!!!!!
Thanks Mike! Have a great weekend!
I gotta go with the one with shield it just looks good that micarta looks good great video man 👍
Cant go wrong either way! Thanks David!
Hey JB 👊

Not shallow at all Shane! You like what you like!!
I’ll take the Rough Ryder with the sheep’s foot after you made your Burbon Bone and spear point knife.
LOL....right on!
Not a big slip joint fan but those are some nice knives. I'd go RR if given a choice. Great vid JB!
Right on 👍👍
Both are really nice looking knives, but I think going just on looks because the Beaver Creek Barlow is the only one I have had in hand, I would choose the Beaver Creek over the RRR.
Right on Tim! Thanks so much my friend!
I like them both for the reasons you mentioned...but you know what one is the real winner? The Loosahatchie Jack! 😁
Lol...thanks for watching Alex
I liked the look of the RRR07 when it came out except for the tan micarta I agree it would look great with that bone handle, the pull definitely should be strong on a Barlow another minus but I would still like it better than the Beaver Creek, personal choice as always. 😁
Thanks for taking a look Lewis!
Hey JB I have to go with the RRR because the blade on the Rose Craft doesn’t belong on a Barlow.
Right on Larry! Thanks for watching my friend
2 great slip joints. I would pick the RCB one, prefer a sheepsfoot blade.
Right on brother!
As long as RoseCraft doesn't put a big fat spearpoint blade on that nice bone handle of theirs, the choice is quite easy actually; buy them both! Oh come on for that prizes you have to buy both. Thank you for daring to make a choice JB.
Oh I would love a spearpoint with that bourbon bone!!!! Thanks Jeroen!

I own the RRR017, but I am liking the Beaver Creek.
Right on Rusty!!!
I like a spear point but it's the Rosecraft knife all day.
Right on Matthew!
I guess I'll have to get a Beaver Creek Barlow now 😆
Lol...it's a great knife brother!!
Looks like great knives.
They are!!!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin! Have a good weekend!
Both nice but for me the BCB edges out the win.
It did for me!
Rose craft wins this round
By a hair!
I bought the beaver creek I can't find the RRR
The RRR is hard to find
I'd say rosecraft wins love blade shape
Right on!!👍👍👍
A difficult choice.
Yes it is!!!

Not a fan of the fatty spearpoint. And neither compare to the Case barlow. They are way too thick for a single blade in my opinion.
Thanks for watching!
I would go with whatever blade shape is your favorite! ❤️🔥👊🏾🥷🏽
For sure Bama!!
