The OZ Machine Company Roosevelt Almanac - An Intro Overview to the Rosie! ⚙️
Published: 1 year ago
A video about a truly remarkable EDC made by Daniel Osborne, an expert machinist and owner of the company, with an incomplete overview of the history of the OZ Machine Company Roosevelt. I certainly miss some basic facts (such as the company being located in Indiana), and who knows how many of the more intricate details that may be out there about this impressive company and product. As I continue to collect and learn more about these very cool knives I’ll try to fill you all in.
*One note, I wasn't sure about the finish on the earlier silver Rosie and said it might be bead blasted but found out from a pro at OZ that it's Zirblasted, thanks!
