It's a Bose Backpocket pattern 4 1/2" long, A-2 blade and spring, 410 SS liners/bolsters, SS domed pins. This knife has a half stop and flush jointed at the tang end and bolsters when closed. Had enough bone to make a matching golfers tool. My brother the golfer is getting a surprise come Thursday, his birthday.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Your brother is a lucky boy. I love the bone handle folders. My personal favorite handle material for a folder. Some kind of long held emotional attachment I guess. :)

Adios!

You win the boobie prize!:eek: :D As a matter of fact I did do the maille myself. That is my favorite pattern too and looks great with the flat stainless rings.
 
OMG I've been making it for 2 years now. Mostly 18g 3/16 in European weaves (generally 4 in 1) I've dabbled in Persian and Japanese weaves. Making a belt of Japanese 12 in 2 14g 3/8ths and 18guage 3/16ths. Are you part of any of the Maille forums? Maille Artisans? Chainmaille Board? any of that?

Yeah the flat stainless works really well but so does some greater AR 14g stainless or sterling


oh and wtf with the boobie prize deal? ahaha

I'm not part of any maille forums myself. Knife making is keeping me busy enough. I was planning on attempting to incorporate chain maille into some of my sheath work later on. The biggest thing I have made has been trucker wallet chains. The smallest has been earrings made with 1/8" gold colored rings, roundmaille pattern.

....yay we vear onto the proverbial rabbit trail.
 
if you need any maille on your sheaths send them to me with your request and I'll throw some rings on it. I've got suppliers and the time since knife making is on the wayside until I get a forge running.
 
First of all a very Happy Birthday to your brother.
Second what a beautiful knife, your brother is going to have something to treasure for ever.
 
Heart felt "Thank You's" to all who looked and left encouraging comments. This is my second completed slip joint knife. I couldn't have done as well on it if it wasnt for Tony Bose. He showed me what a high quality knife is suppose to look like. I may never get there but it is a goal to shoot for.
 
Great job Kerry-if I hadn't looked at the name on the blade, I would swear that it said Bose on it. Looks great!!!
 
Hi Kerry,
Your Brother is a Lucky Guy!
Beautiful work.
Oh By the way, I am available for temporary adoption, and my birthday is 4-4-07.....I'll be 2 days older than dirt....

Sincerely, Beautiful!,
 
Kerry,
That's a really sweet slip:thumbup: , but what's with the double toothpick thingy? Your brother must have REALLY big teefers!:eek:

Thanks for all the nice kudos guys.

The "double toothpick" is a ball mark tool. It is rarely used by duffers and shaggers because the tool is for removing ball mark dimples from the greens. That means you would have to land your ball on a drive or chip from a considerable distance high enough to make a dang dimple in the sod. This jobby is stuck in the sod around the mark and used to push the sod back up. The putter is then used(usually) to tamp the sod back down flat so your golf buddies don't have to bounce their golf balls through your messes.
