Bose Knives

Hey fellers,

Just a quick photo, not great lighting. I am certainly not Kerry Hampton, but you'll get the picture.

My newest BoseBoyz additions to my meager collection. Poor lighting does show the "grain" in the ivory scales.

Beautiful knives, wonderful craftsmanship and as I said beautiful ivory, what more can I say, but thanx to

the boyz from Wilfred.

Here’s a new pattern from Wilfred Works. Duck decoy carver George Strunk (Duckman here on BF) wanted a slimmer, lighter swayback. Kerry Hampton worked up the design and George has the first one from Kerry and then the first one by Tony. I’ll let George add in the details of the design and end result, and hopefully his pictures as well. (Hint: handle and blade from another Bose pattern.)

It’s 3 5/8s closed, and notably lighter and slimmer than the other swayback pattern. I was going to get mine in ivory with a bolster and no shield, but since I wanted to carry it Tony talked me into this shadow. The big benefit to me is that it has Don Hanson’s forged W2 steel. Truly the best of both worlds with Hanson steel on a Bose knife. Thanks Don and Tony. I first asked Don about doing this three years ago and he was game.

Tony cut out the blade and sent it to Don for heat-treating. The Old Dog said it was Rockwell 62.5 hardness.

Very sharp, thin blade and it really rides well in my pocket.

That looks like a winner, Mike. Congratulations!
