Nice Sowbelly, Kerry.

I count myself very fortunate to have its 3 7/8" big brother, #6:

Gotta love the sowbellys!

I was wondering about Tony's and Reese's numbering system? Does the #8 on the Eureka Jack refer to how many Eureka jacks that Reese has made in that same size/pattern or?

Ken,

I think (and I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong) that the numbers take into account not only the pattern, but the scale material as well. So there would be a #1 in stag as well as a #1 in bone and/or micarta etc. Not sure if blade steel enters the equation but I don't think so.
 
You people are going to have to lock me out here HA HA!! Some reallly beautiful knives they are better than the old girly mags I used to look at as a youngster if you get my drift!!! Curvy,Shiney,etc. etc., in all the right places and love those jigged scales.
 
I think this sowbelly is actually 3 7/8". I wrote it down from the pattern list and I think it's wrong so I will fix it when I find out for sure.
 
Yer welcome nice lady :) I corrected the size info...it's 3 7/8" Tony patterned the sowbelly off of an old Remington that was sent to him disassembled.
 
Guess I don't have its big brother then. Just its older brother. ;) :thumbup:

My understanding is that the numbering is for a size and pattern, not variations in handle material. A new size, like a 3.25 WT vs. the standard 3.5 WT was numbered as a new pattern. Reese uses 0-9, Tony uses prototype-9, skipping the 0. Tony used to use a 0 but switched at some point. Occasionally they'll not number in sequence, not sure why. I had a 3.25 WT by Reese that I know was one of the first, but was not numbered. Got a different one almost a year later, and it was numbered. I've also read/heard that Tony only numbered one of his saddlehorns.

I'm fortunate to own one of the "big boys." (With a Gary Graley snap close sheath; also a rarity.) It makes backpocket knives look almost girly in comparison. Only a few were made (3 from what I heard) and none were numbered as far as I know.

Consider it done. (Hope I got it right.)
 
Also note this, numbering doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the sequence they were made in. Remember that stamping is done before a knife is heat treated. From the time of stamping to the time of actually putting a knife together can be several weeks if not months or years. A lot can happen in that amount of time...:)
 
Shame on all of you :D

Good for me,initial investment has allowed me to sample three Bose knives,and at the same time,two other guys do too
Good way of looking at it,right
signed,your little Bose slut,
