Ignoring the swing guard and lock, this is a pretty standard old pattern in a fairly standard size -- back then called a fiddleback, nowadays called a cokebottle folding hunter. As I understand it, these (in their usual slipjoint construction) were very popular with the old timbermen, back when the forests were *really* forests, rather than just a patch of woods, and were carried instead of a fixed blade -- an axe and a folding hunter and these guys were ready to go. This is a 5 1/4" knife -- the grandaddy barlow is a 5" knife - and was also a very popular pattern with outdoorsmen back then (basically the standard cowboy knife as I understand).

Kerry,
Got any pictures of the stag on the other side?
I'm with Randy, I'd throw that knife right into my purse and not feel a bit bad about it.

I know you guys probably cried yourself to sleep the other night when I posted that last stag teardrop gents knife. I can't be held responsible for what you do when you see this knife...OK
AMAZING Ivory on this knife with checks that really set it off. It's 3 5/8" with stainless bolsters and liners pins, ATS-34 blades and springs. You'll find more images on the Boseknives web site.

I am glad that you included a disclaimer, otherwise you would be getting a medical bill for my heart palpitations and asthma attack.
Good G-d in heaven, that is a stunning knife.

I think the BladeForum servers are driving him mad -- I can certainly empathize - been there, done that, several times.
Love that Reese Bose fixed hunter - sweet knife. It makes me want to say that he should make more fixed blades -- but then I remember that it would cut into his folder making time.

Just to let you know that the Wilfred Works is a full service operation, Reese's aunt Bonnie was told she used 10k gallons of water this month when she normally uses around 2500 gallons and that she must have a leak. The Bose men cease all operations and come to the rescue.
No question here which one of these guys is the boss and which one's the grunt. Reese is such a good nephew to cheerfully give of himself when the need arises, don'g you think.
