Bose Knives

Wow Charlie.....that is a beautiful knife. Too bad we didn't have much time to chat and check out all of your Bose knives at the Blade Show. Mother of Pearl is a beautiful piece of material. I have a black mother of pearl Case knife that I just love. Nice catch on that knife.

Thanks for the info Mike, I will go back through the the thread and check out all of the pics. Don't get me wrong, all of the new knives are awesome, but I also like to see Tony's work in the beginning.

Thanks again guys,
Ashley
 
Ashley, here's what I read in Knife World:

Bose, 61, worked in factories and then had a union carpenter’s card when he “first started foolin’ around” with making knives in 1972. After many years of repairing pocketknives, Bose made two fixed blades from a friend’s broken hacksaw blade.

Bose made his first pocketknife in 1975. It was a 4-inch single blade folder with a drop point that wasn’t based on a traditional pattern.

Got the stag one a few weeks ago. Stainless steel bolsters and shield with a D2 2-½ inch blade. 3-1/4 closed.

I have it in my pocket right now but haven’t used it yet. I won’t hesitate to use it if a roving pack of plague-infested prairie dogs attacks the kids while they’re playing in the yard. (Well, maybe I'll grab a bat first, or lock the door. ;) )

I went from having a lot of knives to not very many, but I like 'em.

Hey Mike,

What kind of material is that knife on the top right? Is it ivory?

Charlie. Duckman sent that to me for an avatar. It's a scary sharp Bose. :thumbup:

Ashley, Mammoth ivory. I'm no longer the owner but I saw it at Blade. I'm told they don't make many with mammoth. That brown one in Riad's group photo is also mammoth ivory.
 
I shot this today under crappy florescent lighting at work, so be gentle. :o I love this knife and I am slightly prejudiced to the serpentine frame on the WT rather than the slimmer standard frame. Sepentine hides more of the run up of the tang and I find it more pleasing to the eye.

Talk amongst yaselves....DISCUSS!:D

I really like that serp version.That's how I ordered my WT from Reese,but not a shadow.
I like those shadows,I like that one in the green canvas & SS
Someone is a lucky guy/gal getting that one

Kerry, is serpentine the handle material?

Vince, what do you mean when you say you ordered one, but not a shadow?

Sorry guys, I am just trying to get down the lingo.....

Thank you,
Ashley

Ashley,Serpentine refers to the shape,or profile of the handle on that knife.It is a warncliffe trapper,shadow style (no bolsters).The scales (material) is green canvas micarta. The knife (warncliffe trapper)I ordered from Reese has this handle profile,but with bolsters & bone scales.
That one(the shadow pattern/style) is the ultimate user/carry knife though,IMO,with minimum hardware to get scratched up(not that scratches can't be buffed up,to some extent),it's light & SS.
 
Serpentine is the handle shape.
Shadow means theres no bolsters or caps.

I know...whats a bolster :)
 
First, Vince, thank you for the reply. I was thinking that it was micarta, until serpentine was mentioned. I just wanted to clairfy.

Second, Kerry, thank you for the reply. I do know what bolster's are by the way! ;)

You are welcome Ashley.
Kerry,what's to discuss ? You guys have my address there in Indiana,right ?
 
Perfect EDC. I like that frame as well. That's how Kerry made my WT. The serpentine makes it more sexy, no?

Thanks for the pictures.
