If anyone from Case checks in here, I sure hope y’all let Reese Bose continue to work on these collaborative knives. I believe they are the best thing Case has going. This one is very well built.

Thank you very much bigfish64 . I really wanted this version of the Wharncliff Trapper, because it seems true to Tony Bose’s vision. Also, it seems like Case did a better job on the Wharncliff Trapper than some of the other collaborative knives.

WOW! That’s all I can say.

Some years ago, when Tony Bose designed the Swayback for Case, they gave him a handful of knives to try out and assess! Tony checked this one out for quality, fit and finish; even testing the Rockwell hardness of the blades - 58! Then he honed the edges, and blued the carbon steel (CV - a good way to forestall rust) blades, and gave me this one when he finished with it!
A generous Man!!

Great story, great knife, I have a swayback gent in chestnut jigged bone and CV steel and absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing Charlie.

Late 1990's Damascus-Bladed Red Stag 5347!
Nice blades, better than average F&F for a late 90s Case - typical Stag fit for that period!

6383 chestnut bone whittler. I gave it a dye bath yesterday with a red/gray mix to darken the red. The original bone was too pink/salmon like colored in the smooth areas of bone near bolsters and on sides. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you, sir. I've had pretty good luck with dye experiments on bone handles,... so far.

That's pretty special.
