Paul Bos Heat Treat

wire edge · Dec 12, 2001

I was thinking last night about Paul Bos and Strider. Having recently received a Buck Strider Tanto and TKa it got me wondering. So, for all of us that aren't enlightened to the subject:

1. What is the Bos heat treat procedure? Is it the same for BG-42 and ATS-34?

2. How big of an operation is the facility (does he have a small team that he oversees)?

3. Maybe silly, but how do you pronounce his last name? Is it "Boss" or is it "Bose"?

Thanks all.

The procedure is the same for ATS-34 and BG-42. I am a one man opperation. The Buck / Striders I set up the procedure, And over see the heat treat procedure, and do the final R/C test. The correct pronouceation is like BOSS, I do have relitives that spell there name BOSE. Hope this answers your questions. Paul

Ignore him Paul. Mayo's been having midlife crisis problems lately.

The Bos man is a man of very few words.. His work speaks novels though... He is better in person, probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met...

Tom: When I went to Honolulu High they told me to spell words the way they sound, That was the only spelling class they had. My major was Hot Rod building, and Surffing. My Teacher told me if I spell it like it sounds people will know what im wrighting. Byron: Back when I had my commercial heat treating shop i did alot of heat treating and furnace brazing fo the major air craft companies, And a lot of the parts I did went to NASA for the space shuttle. Jerry, Mayo has been in mid life crices sence ive known him.
