Only T. Bose knife I own and consider myself very fortunate to have it. Never met or spoke with the man (wish I had the opportunity and pleasure). I believe it is said by some to be the finest thing you could put in your pocket.
Best regards and God bless

That's a Big Knife, alongoria!! And you are fortunate to have it!!!
I was lucky to know Tony, and to break bread with him when we were both in Atlanta!!
He called me every couple of weeks when I had a stroke 4 years ago, checking up on me, until shortly before he left us!! I miss him terribly!!

Wonderful testament of his character to be such a caring friend. Also, to his generosity.
Best wishes for your good health.
Yes, a large folder. In addition to it being a masterful work, it is a real pleasure to carry and use.
Best regards and God bless
 
In 2011 I was in the UK on my way to Blade when I heard that the engraver, Simon Lytton had been admitted to hospital with a stroke. Simon and I were friends going back to the early '80's and I immediately visited him in hospital.

Simon was also a great friend of Tony's and I knew Tony would want to know how Simon was doing. A few weeks later at Blade I told Tony about Simon's condition and his words to me were something like this........

"Tell Simon we miss him, we love him and to get well soon."

Tony was a warm, generous man who treated everyone with respect and care. He was also one of the best custom knife makers on the planet. How could you not love him.

I won this at his draw at Blade that same year, received in my hand from him........It is cherished.

 
I spoke with the man through Instagram private messaging a few times. He quoted me a price on what would essentially be a custom hunter model. It was outside my budget but he was more than friendly and willing to answer all the questions I had.
