Bose Knives

Got to re-post this jewel. Every so often, a knife makes such an impact even on us jaded connoisseurs , that we know we've seen something unforgettable. A marvel. That Stag, that bolster that blade. If there are people on this earth in 200 years time, they'll still stop and wonder at it.

Regards, Will

I second everything you have said and would like to add that pronounced swedge knocks me out.
 
You have to love the stag on this Boston Whaler and Sowbelly Trapper

Nice knives! I always enjoy seeing Bose knives but I'm especially a fan of the sowbelly pattern. Can you tell us more about the "Boston Whaler" pattern? Is it based on an old pattern? I've seen a "New England Whaler" that has a full length sheepfoot... and a "Carpenter's Jack" that has full length spear and sheepfoot blades. Does the straight edge blade on the "Boston Whaler" have a bit of a curve to it?
 
Tony Bose Texas Jack, 4.25 closed. ATS-34 and vintage Remington bone, I like how the swedge goes "up and around the corner". Based off and old Kabar, correct me if I am wrong. Excellent fit and finish and a real joy to pocket, just as Tony would want.

Kris - Of all the wonderful knives you post here, and there are quite a few I might add, this Bose Texas Jack is my favorite. Every time I see this knife I get a warm fuzzy. The attention to details, the obvious quality and superb craftsmanship is without equal in the world of TJ's.:)

Never tire of that one Kris, spot on with the Kabar original with that distinctive clip.

Here's my first, a barehead coffin jack by Reese in Remington Bone and ATS-34.
I've always been extremely curious about Tony and Reese's work due to their following and name within the community.
That curiosity has been completed satisfied after a day or two of inspecting and finding the intricacies and detail that lie within their work.

That is a GREAT score, Tim.

I love the pattern, I love the Remington bone, and I love the maker.

You know I am jealous.

Enjoy!
 
I know it is hard to believe but, this being a relatively new pattern at Wilfred Works and all, this is Reese's first one of this pattern. I know what you're thinking...everybody and their uncles are making this pattern now so what's up with that. You'll have to ask them where they got their pattern. It seems like these things aren't cool until the Old Dog makes them :D

A couple of signature items with the original R-1306 is the flat grind, gimping and radius on the spine of the blade, and fiber (micarta)blade stop in the end of the trough so that it doesn't mar the tip of the blade when closing.

The nut doesn't fall far from the tree and believe me, Reese is a big nut. :p
