Case Bose 2017 knife

Just saw the Tribal Lock on a dealer site and the prices are as I had hoped. Depending on cover options, it is around the same price as the Case Copperlock and the Buck 110. :thumbup:
 
The zulu / tribal lockback will be a success i already want one.

The Tribal lockback got my hopes up. I've been looking for a nice lockback, but about 3 1/8" to 3 3/8" max, closed, for quite a while. Some good possibilities out there, but I held off just to make sure I get the perfect one. Along comes the Tribal. Saw the specs and my heart sunk.

Oh well. I may have to settle for something like a Moki. Poor me.
 
I know how you feel shecky but I ordered one anyway. Take a look at the GEC83, the right size and still show up. There was one on the exchange today.
 
I'll have to see where I can pre order one too, love the look of that Tribal lock

Here's a video of Mr Bose at the Shot show

Thanks for posting that Gary. After watching the interview with Mr. Bose the value of his work has just gone up ten fold. What a gentleman. I've always admired his work but never considered owning one. I think that will change. I don't know when or how. I was always taught and took to heart that you judge a person by how he treats those around them. And, to hear Mr. Bose verbalize those exact words gives added weight to his person. For now I will just enjoy his "catalog" knives that Case sells.

Indeed, I was fortunate enough to travel to Champaign IL for work a few years back and took the time to see if Tony would let me take a side trip after work to visit and was able to do so. Also got to meet Kerry Hampton while there too, so it was a double pleasure. Very small shop with lots of neat things to see, it was certainly a highlight of my year! As personable guy you'd ever likely meet.

Gary, thank you for sharing that video. I always enjoy watching/listening to Tony talk about knives. I don't expect I'll ever own a knife made by Tony Bose, but maybe someday I'll spring for a Case/Bose collaboration.

If you can , i highly encourage you to buy one of his knives.( custom)


I started buying the case / bose collaboration, then knife patterns that tony shared with other talented custom makers.

Until one day i decided to buy one if his knives.

I really was blown away , hooked and instantly smitten by the quality of his knives, attention to detail etc.

We are blessed for having tony around, his story is inspiring . As a knife fancier i just feel lucky to have some of his knives.

Wish he would still take orders.

I would have order a couple of his patterns in stag, jigged bone , ivory, and micarta.

Tony is the man!!

Thanks for the endorsement. In today's world with everyone offering goods, both good and bad, it would be a pleasure to be able to give my business (even in the secondary market) to a man with such commendable values.
 
The Eureka is quite tempting as well, but, that's a lot more pennies to save up! But I'm betting it would be more than worth it! Now the wait and the decision...where to place my efforts/savings ;)

:D;)

Well in other interviews I've seen of TB he comes across as wryly amusing and in no way arrogant or pretentious. Very much respect that in a person, conceit & boasting are very tiresome qualities.

I wonder if he ever does any GAWs...?:D:D:D:cool:

My exact feelings. And, I'm sure he has but seeing as he we agree on sentence #1, he'd never brag about it.

It makes for a tough decision. The Bose/Case cattle knife I have is as well made as any knife I own, and better than a lot. I want a Eureka when they arrive, but I'm also struck by Bob's Norfolk. I see a couple norfolks for sale. I believe they are from 2009?

I would pay the price for either of those before I would pay what some on the great auction site want for certain GEC SFO's. It just makes more sense to me?

Tony is a real down to earth good hearted person. Recently I had a guy in a Case store pick through a few of those Wilfred lock hunter,I think it's from a Remington pattern. Well the fella did me right & I will say the knife will compare right alongside some custom knife makers work,it's just that good. Fantastic value for what you are getting.

I saw Tony at a show in 2015. The Wilfred hunter is based upon a classic Remington pattern that he had in his pocket at the show. He pulled it out and showed me. It was very old, but re-bladed by him and still in use by Tony.

Totally agree. As,I said in a previous., outstanding quality from Case. I think there was info from one bf member about exactly how different some of the procedures in manufacturing are.
