I feel your pain Campbell. Last year I lost my ivory English jack by Don Hanson. I think I lost it up in the high school wrestling room during one of my son's practices. Since technically knives aren't allowed at schools, I wasn't able to go to the school the next day and ask if anyone had my knife. Some high school kid is probably opening cans of pork and beans with it.

Seeing as how Campbell and Mike went I guess it's my turn...
Last weekend me and the Two Bears (my twin girls) were out in the yard working around cutting limbs and picking up sticks, raking a few leaves and just cleaning up in general. They had given up helping Dad and started swinging and running around like banshees when one of them needed me to cut something. "No problem" I said while reaching for the Sowbelly Trapper in one of the pockets in my overalls when my heart sunk and panic set in... NO SOWBELLY TRAPPER !!!! I bolt in the house and checked the top of the dresser to see if I had forgotten to put it in my pocket, but NO SOWBELLY TRAPPER!!! So the announcement of "ALL HANDS ON DECK" goes out! While the Misses and the Two Bears are searching the yard I start going through the yard waste can...
Do you see what I see?
Let me zoom in a little...
There she was, she had worked her way through all of the branches and was at the very bottom of the can. Like the Old Dog told me, I got lucky, I hope Mike and Campbell do too!

Jeremy, I'm real glad you found it. I know how much you like that knife and for good reason.
I tell myself that the Hanson will turn up someday, otherwise I would lay awake at night and think about how bummed I am to have lost it. It had great W2 steel. It was just starting to get its own character when it jumped out of my pocket:
I still look for it every time I vacuum my truck.

I will be glad to clean your truck and house if I can keep any Bose or Hanson I find.

Well...good news is that the knife my dad called me about was the knife I lost. Apparently it was dropped in the pickup earlier in the week at my house, somehow made it into a toolbag, and then fell out of the toolbag onto the farm driveway, at which time someone who was on our property fishing saw it and put it in the back of the Gator, where my dad found it this morning right after I posted that I lost it. I didn't think it was the same knife, because I had absolutely no idea how it could have gotten from my house in Nashville to our farm an hour away...especially when I haven't been to my farm since I lost the knife.
So that's the good news. Bad news is that today, I was going hanggliding and was taking along what may be the first Bose knife to ever go on a hanggliding trip. Unfortunately, the wind turned and the tailwind wouldn't allow me to lift off from the mountain. So this is as close as the old fella got to flying

Sorry about the Hanson knife Mike. Glad to hear that you found your knife Campbell. I also have an almost lost knife tale. I take the train in to work everyday. One day, when I arrived at my destination, I got up to leave when I was stopped by a woman I didn't know. She was holding something and asked me if I had dropped a knife. I started checking my pockets, but when I looked at her hand I immediately recognized my KHnutbuster. I thanked her and quickly slipped it back in my pocket. You can bet that I checked my slacks a few dozen times that day.

They fly from tree to tree in the mornings and evenings. It's a sight to see, and turkeys are dumb in TN...so easy pickings
Campbell, if you drop your Bose knife while hang-gliding, it will be really hard to find.
Maybe "Techno Tony" could start to imbed a microchip in the handles that transmits a signal to a hand held locator ? same idea as avalanche transceivers.

This is rare bird from WilfredWorks...a 4 1/4" 5-blade congress by Tony in ivory. Tony won "Best Folder" at Blade one year with this same pattern, except that knife was hafted in "old bone". 
The master blade in this pattern has to have a serious recurve to wrap around the center pin so that it doesn't RAP the spring. It's a very old English pattern. This particular knife is stamped with a "6" and is the eight in the series of this pattern that Tony has made.

Bout time you posted something new in this thread. Waaaaaay nice! (might have to give Riad a heads up on this one.)
Isn't that the same pattern that Tony gave to Jack Davenport and he won at Blade with it?

That one looks like it just might take a little skill to make. I think this T.Bose fella may have a future! 
Seriously . . . WOW & WOW! Thanks, Kerry.

The springs are not tapered. Two blades each on the outboard springs and the master blade has a spring all to itself in the center. It's like putting 5lbs of crap in a 2lb sack
Absolutely STUNNING !!!
I hope whoever is going to own this knife appreciates what they have - a Masterpiece :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
(if it does not yet have an owner maybe, as it's an English design, it should come acrosss the pond and live with me ).
