Case Tony Bose Collabs pic and discussion thread.

How rare is the pruner? I’ve been trying to keep an eye out for one but I’m guessing it’s basically a unicorn.
I've been wanting one for a while now as well. It's pretty much an unobtanium unicorn from what I've seen, especially now that Tony Bose has passed.

Edit to add: If you do find one post it up here so we know more exist! 🤣👍

I may have been wrong in my previous statement. It's just my personal experience I haven't seen any for sale lately. Thanks for giving us that don't have one some hope that they're still out there 👍

Hard to believe the pruner did not sell well and were clearanced at $99!

🤯
 
I am on the lookout for the first year Case Bose offered in 1999 with box and papers. Anyone have one collecting dust?
 
Last one I seen for sale in a certain bay area had a zero added onto it! 😱
I have learned after trying to collect these for a few years that patience is the key. It is easy to frustrated and overpay when a piece. Then soon after you see several come available for a reasonable price. Knife shows are a good place to find them at a more reasonable price.

Until I started carrying the my TB inspired swayback jack, I didn’t really understand the affection for the pruner. I think I get it now!! They share what I thought of as an awkward handle curve that for some reason feels just right.


I also really like single spring opposite end 2 blade folders…the Norfolk is calling my name.

I really like the Norfolk, it didn’t initially catch my eye just based on pics but once I got one I love it. They say the secondary can be a nail breaker but mine isn’t at all. Hope you get one, you won’t regret it.
