A fantastic knife from John. You will be challenged to find a knife of this caliber at this price.

For some reason this is my favorite Bose style or variation on his Yukon pattern, while the vast majority lust after the Lannys or Norfolk, this one does it for me. I want this one in the worst way, if it was micarta I don't think I could resist. I can see why you want to keep it! :thumbup:
