The blade grind is a little different than mine, a little deeper perhaps, and the pull is definitely larger . . . . . . what am I missing??

Beautiful knife no matter what is different!!

Swedge extended toward the tang? Whatever, kickass pretty much describes this one in my book, also, Kerry.

This dog knows how to hunt! :thumbup: :D

Those are sweet, thanks for posting the pictures Kerry. I spoke to the owner of these knives this morning and he told me both knives have fantastic ivory scales.

I like the beveling job on the Arkansas Hunter,that knife is a Tony Bose Master Peice :thumbup:
Truly,two examples of really great knives from the two best makers :thumbup:

I think it's got a different style of swedge (closer to a drawn swedge - while some of the earlier ones are more of a cut swedge) and the nick looks to be larger and deeper (I like large, deep nail nicks - they save on wear and tear of my thumbnails). Gorgeous knife!

Yes! This one has a drawn swedge like on the original Empires whereas to up to now Tony's knives have had a cut swedge.

Lovely Ivory on each one of these fine knives, although I think My favorite is the little teardrop jack with the wharncliffe blade.

Thanks for sharing:thumbup:
 
Just got this one a few days ago. Cotton Sampler with ivory scales and ballock shield. The ivory looks much better than what you see in the picture.
 
Wow, Beautiful! Cnasty would be all over that one. I know he like the CS and the ivory is a knockout.
Thanks for sharing,
Jim

Happy Birthday John,killer cotton sampler :thumbup:

At making a blade like that one you can tell the men from the boys. And it doesn't get any better than that fantastic cotton sampler. I can imagine your grandchildren's grandchildren using and enjoying that knife.
 
Here's a couple of Tony's knives that I just finished sheaths for. Very nice stag on both of these 8" knives...D2 hunter and 440V semi-skinner, and sharp as all git out!
