Wifey got this for me for my upcoming birthday. My first Case/Bose.

I fear it will eventually lead to a search for a Norfolk and a Premium Stockman.

Congrats, and Happy Birthday, Christian!! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. My birthday isn't actually for a few more weeks. It has the bittersweet distinction of sharing the same date as Tony's passing.

That gives extra meaning to the knife you just got.

Haven't received it yet. It's with USPS at the moment. Delivery on Tuesday. Wifey says I can inspect it immediately, but I can't take possession of it until the day of.

I was under that impression as well until my hair started salting and I noticed hair in places it never was before.

Actually I'm in charge of both the selection and the payment processes. Her job is to give me the green light.

This thread gives me bad thoughts.

A Tony Bose has been on the list for a few years. Maybe this year I’ll pass on the newest kid on the block and just go with traditional class.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday

kamagong . You could not have picked a better knife as a present. Tony’s wharncliff trapper is special, and yours is a great example.

I had hoped to ask Tony to make a Sowbelly for me one day but never had the chance. So when I saw this Stag version of his pattern for sale, I jumped on it. It is as close as I will ever come to an original. It is not a collaboration, but it reminds me of how Tony made them. Someone told me that Tony was a couple years ahead on his collabs. I hope that is true and that a Sowbelly was one of them!

kamagong · Oct 29, 2021

Thanks Les. Your sowbelly is a beauty, and drool inducing. So much so that I went looking for one. Wow!!! That knife is much dearer than I expected for one of the Bose non-collabs.

I’ve whittled my collabs down to the 04 muskrat but I’m eyeing the new one…it looks nice.

No more Norfolk? I was hoping to pry it out of your fingers.

Nope - that bird has flown. I had more than one go though my fingers. Liked antique bone on that pattern a lot. Pre Happy birthday!

I must’ve missed something. What does the HT in HT trapper stand for?

Tony Bose said:
This knife is a R293 Remington HTT. It was made for the Hunter-Trader-Trapper magazine for a subscribtion drive for 1 year, 1930. For $3.50 you could get the knife and 12 issues of the magazine. It's one of my favorite bullet knives and a very rare one. Yes this is one of the bannana knives.

kamagong , congrats on your new knife :thumbsup:

Here is my one and only. Collabs don't come up too often in the UK and I happened to have spotted this one just prior to the announcement of the Old Dawgs passing. It will always have special place in my collection.

Very nice. That pattern doesn't trip my trigger compared to other models, but I appreciate the technical skill required to make it.

An appropriate Bose collab for Stagurday, I think

Matt_WY · Oct 31, 2021

Received an email from a big case dealer that has some Case/Bose eureka jacks and lockback hunters at a good sale price. Not sure if we can mention names, but if you’re in the market check out the place on the Hills.
