Bose Knives

[VCM3]

Vince, you're right. 440V is more brittle. I'm careful about it and only do it whittling on basswood, which is pretty knife-friendly wood. Even with that, I took a little bit of the side of the point... very little... off my swayback. I'm even more careful since that happened. I just happened to end up with 440v on the knives I like to whittle with.

Ed,this is just what I was told.But I also was told the 440V would be as sharp as D-2,but hold an edge better,and is ss.That is what made me specify that steel when I ordered a knife from Reese

I like 440v. I have 2 WT's in 440v and use them both, no problem with chipping. If I could I would use D2 for all my carving. But I really think its in the heat treat.

I couldn't let that one go by. You're welcome Don and I'm glad you like it.

Something a little different, a back pocket in shadow pattern. This is a using knife for sure.

I didn't know anything about this steel, no surprise there, until a couple of days ago. With the Bose design and that steel, that knife is going to have a long life of cutting.

With the help of several members of this forum, I was finally able to get my hands on a Tony Bose pocketknife. I had to give up my mammoth back pocket by Reese, so I went from a very large knife to this small 3 1/8 swayback. Steel is D2.

A warren of wharnies.

[fewpop]

Fantastic, Mike. I love the looks of that swayback, and the others ain't exactly chopped liver either. Congratulations bud. :thumbup:

 

[KnifeHead]

Nice one Mike...it sure is purdy:thumbup:

 

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks all. Those Bose guys sure are something. Used it for the first time today after taking the scans.

For cost reasons, I may have to switch over to collecting gum off the underside of restaurant tables though.
