Perfect in every way...

Is the C/B Zulu the same knife as the C/B Tribal Spear? Asking for a friend...

This pic makes me nervous. I'm sure it would probably fall safely into the boat, or onto a dock, but I'm still nervous.
Beautiful knife and picture

LOL!!! Thanks, Matt — but I can assure you that no knives were harmed during the course of that photo shoot. 😂
We happen to border a nature preserve, so that photo was taken on terra firma standing at the end of my backyard. 🙂

No. Different construction design, different materials, one’s a slipjoint, the other’s not…One’s not a limited Case Bose, but regular production.
 
Got my Wilfred Hunter in today. I can't wait to tear into this knife! I am for sure going to pull this one apart and pattern the parts. From there I'm going to handfinish the blade and spring. Recut the choil and smooth out the action. Fix all the gaps and high and low spots in the spring. Soften all the catchy edges and build completely new covers for it. Mine has bad blade play esp. closed so I'll rework the bushing and get rid of the play as well. It's going to be a really fun project and I'll learn lockbacks in the process to a large degree. It'll be a daily driver for me once I get it fluffed and buffed.

I believe the Tribal Spear is the Case Bose limited collab one also known as the zulu, and the Tribal lock is the one regular production one with the lock.

It's confusing kamagong kamagong lists the Zulu, not the Tribal Spear for his poll.

Which is THE Bose knife?

This morning my wife gifted me a Case/Bose wharncliffe trapper. I've been coon fingerin' it ever since. This knife has got me thinking. Tony Bose's impact on this segment of the knife community for the past couple of decades has been immeasurable. His work with Case has put his designs in...

Nice project Jason, can’t wait to see the finished product. 😎👍
 
Nice Wilfreds! Too bad about that ebony one, mine doesn't have those issues. the blade moves back and forth a little closed, but is absolutely rock solid on lockup with no play in any direction. the blade falls towards closed when unlocked, but 'half stops' and then needs a push to engage excellent walk and loud talk the rest of the way closed. Open, the joint between spring and blade is invisible.

Still amazed at this one
 
A dealer still has a few of these WT's in stock so I figured I better snag one before they are unobtanium. I put my HT away and gonna carry this one a while. I'm genuinely sad that production knives of this quality won't be available at this production scale anymore.
