Purchased new (I believe retailer won a lottery?) in 2014 upon a career milestone.
My understanding is a favored customer requested a "saddlehorn blade and backpocket frame". I believe they called this a "Saddleback". This one is stamped "0". Ebony.
I'm getting ready to turn 64 years old and when I was young all I saw were "traditional" folding knives.
Wanted it to be a user to really get enjoyment of it, so as soon as I received it I went outside and started whittling, lol.
I know many want(ed) a T Bose folder and keep it pristine due to relative rarity and superb craftsmanship.
I can certainly understand that. But I wanted to really enjoy it for what it was meant to be.
To my eyes, when received it was a close to perfection as anything I've ever seen, held, used from 2 human hands.
Check out YouTube of Mr Bose making one of his knives. Amazing.
Sad thing is I'll enjoy this as long as I'm living. But, I don't have family/friend to pass it down to that will really appreciate it.
Best regards and God bless.

5x5 Combat Solutions. Michael Janick recommended as well. Nothing but good from my side also. I lost a set screw for one, emailed asking if I could buy a replacement, and they sent a whole bunch for free. They don't come off and work as well as factory waves. I have them on Pacific Salt 2, Salt 2, Yo 2, Mil 2, PM2, and Para 3....All good.
 
Replacing the thermostat in my vehicle. It's had coolant running through it for over 20 years without changing the thermostat or radiator. Got most of the old gasket cleaned up off both surfaces (not shown). Just need to finish the job off with some solvent and then throw the new gasket in with a thin layer of Permatex Ultra Grey on both metal surfaces and both sides of the gasket. Everyone seems to do gaskets differently. Some put their RTV like substance on just one side of the gasket, some do it just on the metal surfaces, my pops (who I'm super thankful to have still) says I should put it on all 4 surfaces, so that's what I plan to do. I'm sure some of you all do it differently and I'm open to any advice.

Man, it's too bad that memories, knowledge, and wisdom don't continue on to the next generations. Imagine where we'd be as a civilization if that were the case. We're losing a lot of the knowledge from our past generations in this modern day and age.
