If buying used, just confirm what you’re looking at. Mike

Seconded...I bought a "Cobalt" Basic 4. It seemed light when i got it, and yup...magnet stuck, lol. No biggie, got a partial refund from the seller and reground it for the kitchen

If the Boye knife has BDS in the cast mark, it's Boye Dendric Steel, and is cast 440c. If it has his name in script, I think it was ground and finished by Boye and if etched, etched by him or Francine. That's the limit of my knowledge on his markings.

He's a nice guy, call him up. He used to sell cast blade blanks out of the Blade mag classifieds, but stopped a number of years ago to concentrate on the boat knives.

I'm in the same boat as you... got his book when it first came out. He was a"hero" to me. Loved his designs, and his attitude. Saw him at this year's Blade Show and I was VERY tempted to get a few of his cast blades. I was a bit shocked at how old he looked, I was expecting to see him as he was on his book cover 40 years ago (LOL) !!!! (Hell, I'm 40 years older too... and look it)
Seeing yours, I guess I'll have to order a few now. Nice job.

Am I the only one that thinks he is the spitting image there of Christopher Lloyd?
