Looks like Case did a nice job on that one! It's always a crap shoot with Case and stag. Congrats, Todd!

Thanks Gary, appreciate the kind words. You’re right, stag in general is a crap shoot. It sure helps when you can see it before buying.

Wow, Todd -- that may be one of the nicest Collabs I've seen yet! Super Stag!

Here are my two Molasses and Damascus. Some of my favorite original Bose knives were the ones where Tony used etched A2 steel for the blades. The Damascus collaboration knives have that same look. That is what I like most about them. They really capture the vibe of an original, and it isn’t hard for me to imagine Tony pulling one of these out of his pocket.

A very attractive pair.
Apologies if it’s been covered, but could someone school me on the difference between the tribal spear and a Zulu?

I have posted this knife before, but can't remember where!!?? My apologies if it is redundant!
In around 1936, Schrade introduced this modified wharncliffe blade. Instead of having a straight edge, the point rises slightly as the edge nears the end of the blade. The arch of the back of the blade has that distinctive Wharcliffe look. It looks cool in a swell center frame!!
When I posted it, someone found a magazine article advertising the Zulu Spear, but I have lost my file on it. Anyway, here is the knife, and the 1936 catalog cut!

You can see one rivet was probably overspun, and broke off. Otherwise it's unsharpened/ uncarried.

KnifeandEasy , tribal spear/Zulu seem to be used pretty interchangeably now. The Zulu was an original Schrade blade (here’s a brief history from Charlie), I would assume Case switched up the name to the tribal spear, possibly to avoid any legal issues or just to give it their own name.

Excellent Stag on that one! I've been thinking about getting my Chestnut WT re-covered in Stag - haven't decided quite yet.

Who does the cover change? Very interested in having one done in stag.

 

[wickettedge]

I’m interested as well

This one isn’t a recover, but there are several folks around here that do that kind of work.

 

[Signalprick]

I'm not one of them. Lol!

My trapper came in and it’s such a nice piece of kit.
