I don't want to pass as a bore or as repetitive or as a crazed groupie or as a brown nose or who knows what. I respect y'all and appreciate being here too much for not caring about my status in this community, honestly.
Having said that, I want y'all to know that I live in the tropics and I have ample opportunity to use knives a lot. For instance, on Monday I had to skin one deer, and on Tuesday I had to skin eight. Please don't take it wrongly, they are more than plentiful in the area and it's all legal.
Anyhow, I had four knives to do the job. One D-2 drop point made by Reese Bose, my trusty Backpocket made by Mr. Tony Bose, and two other knives: one a D-2 from a famed maker, the other another custom knife in what I think might be ATS-34. I had nothing to sharpen the knives with so they had to do the job with the original edge.
To make it short, I really have no words to explain how far superior was the performance of the Bose knives. They don't cease to amaze me. Those knives are simply way, way superior in edge retention and plain ease of use than any other knife I've ever used. To each his own, but I have used hard and extensively very many knives throughout the past forty or more years and I have never run into a knife that comes even close to a Bose knife.
There, I said it. Kill me now if you wish.
