I am enjoying the activity on this thread and all of the beautiful photographs. We are so fortunate to have had 20 plus years of these Tony Bose treats. Tony knew exactly how a knife should be, and these collaborations show it. I bet their value will stand the test of time. Ain’t gonna be no more.

sf fanatic sf fanatic , I believe that Case has made the decision to close the chapter on this project. I hope they reconsider. Reese is absolutely up to the task.

Yeah, so does my new one. The spey & sheepsfoot are just about the way I like them, about a 6 or 7. The ebony, which I've had for a while is about a 6-7 all around.

Same hear. I like heavier pull but the main is a little much. No major worries though. For a big knife it's pretty sweet honestly.
 
I love the pulls on all of my blades. I will say that if the nail nick was any closer to the tang, say like where it is on a mini trapper, it probably wouldn’t open. 😊

Pulls on mine are what I'd call a 7 on the clip and sheepsfoot. The spey is a little lighter, about a 5. The jigging on the bone covers is fantastic on all the examples I've seen. Definitely a high quality build. Soon as I'm home from work it's in my pocket, everyday since I received itView attachment 1854441

I think Case does a nice job on their jigging. It looks more natural, while the other knife company here in PA's jigging has a machine made look.

I purchased one of their stockman’s and there is a gap on the pile side spring. On a regular production Case I would have accepted it. But not on one of these. Sent a pic to Case warranty and they got back to me in two days and told me to send it in for repair. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Knife came back from Case repair and looks much better. My first time dealing with their customer service department and I’m very pleased. 😃

Despite the kind efforts of a fellow member here to inform me of the sale awhile back, I still managed to miss it. I've had a busy mind these past few months...

Still, I managed to scoop up a Premium Stockman (thanks again, Jason) as the latest addition to my modest Case/Bose assortment.

Ordinarily, I would pick the Chestnut Bone over the Brown but these covers a quite a treat - I enjoy the jigging and the color. Alongside the Coffin Jack, these are the finest made out of the four I have so far, with the Stockman being pretty perfect in just about every regard. I love the Clip Main - it's brilliantly done.

A little hefty but absolutely pocketable, even in my gym shorts. There are a couple of other collabs that I am on the lookout for so I expect these four to become more in the not so distant future.

Here is my group of Bose/Case Collabs. You have a great group Dylan, Pàdruig Pàdruig . Aren’t these wonderful?! They are some of the favorites of my collection.

These are not Collabs, just regular factory production. Nonetheless, these excellent patterns were designed by Tony, and it shows.

Here are my two originals which Tony kindly made for me.

Tony contacted me a couple years ago to confirm my address. He said he had something he wanted to give me. I knew it wasn’t a knife, but I was excited anyway. A few days later this Zippo showed up.

Tony knew I liked cigars as did he. In fact, he would say that if one of his knives didn’t smell like cigars, it might be a fake! I purchased a butane insert for this lighter and use it to light my cigars.
