Bose Knives

Wonderful knife! I like the changes made, especially moving the pen blade around to the mark side. :thumbup:
 
I just love seeing pics of the Old Dog's latest works of art. That Texas Jack is a honey! Thanks Kerry.
 
The matchstrike pull does look great on this pattern, and the rest of the knife is pretty slick as well, obviously. Edited to add that the swedge on the main blade isn't for the faint of heart on the grinding wheel.
 
The Old Dog is still teaching us young pups a few things with this latest knife off of his bench. Tony hasn't made one of these for a while but, after we were able to make these match-striker pulls, he thought this pattern would be a good one to try it on. This is patterned after an old Ka-bar Texas Jack that has a match-striker pull and the pen blade is behind the clip. The old knife has cam-ended tangs but Tony's pattern has half-stops. Also unlike the original, Tony couldn't make this knife without an extension spring for the pen blade. After all this talk of the old knife, I will have to shoot it and post some pix for comparison.

That knife is perfection. It is really something amazing when you can stare at detailed photos of a handmade knife and every detail just looks right.

I wish more knives came with that extension spring.
 
Whoa Mama!
To quote a former Ho "get in my pocket!"!
That matchstriker is getting around, and it couldn't happen to a nicer knife!!
 
Tony,

I find myself staring at this knife on the screen and marvel at the wonderful craftsmanship on display. My wife says,"What are you looking at, another knife",

this certainly is not just another knife! Man, Tony knows how to cut that ivory, gorgeous! As usual, excellent photos Kerry.

One of the best patterns of all time! matchstriker pull, long swedges
amazing Ivory.. Pen on mark side. Perfect knife...as always!

That loooooong clip is just perfect! It fits the knife so well, and looks good standing alone and open. Stuff like that defines the maker as an artist as well as an artisan!
My compliments, Tony!!
