I wanted to share an update my recent research into how the Chinese tariffs are creating significant shipping delays for replica (or any) knives coming into the US.
Rosie XL Replica Redneck Cut Test: Cryo D2 Delivers
Rosie XL Replica Redneck Cut Test: Cryo D2 Delivers
Today we're putting the oversized Roosevelt XL replica (Rosie/“Fosie”) through our Redneck Cut Tests to see if its performance matches its impressive specs. The seller advertises cryogenically treated D2 steel with a 60-62 HRC rating - claims that deserve a proper test to separate marketing from reality.
Surprisingly, the cutting performance backed up those claims - maintaining at least a 9/10 sharpness throughout all our testing and easily stropping back to a 10/10 afterward. While the cartoonish proportions still make this knife too large for my everyday carry (as detailed in our review video), there's no denying the excellent edge retention on display. This might be a rare case where a replica's steel claims actually hold water! Check out the full test to see this oversized beast in action.
