Send a Boye to do a Man's job?

[Gary W. Graley]

I'm sure David had a great time growing up with a last name of Boye! But his knives sure are sharp!

I've had several of his knives and my current collection consists of these three...

The Top one was order from David, Desert Ironwood hidden tang on his Cast Dendretic 440C blade, the Boye/Loveless Persona, sweet small fixed blade!

Next is one that is simply amazing, she cuts and cuts and cuts and cuts, very agressive blade, it's his Prophet Companion with Cobalt blade and micarta handles, this knife, everytime I take it and cut something it makes me want to just put ALL my other knives away! It cuts THAT good!

The last is from his Basic series, got it in a trade but had a problem with the edge and sent the knife into David and he replaced it with this one and also put a very fine edge on it, convex type almost zero bevel, great cutter as well!

But the one that really STICKS out is that Cobalt folder, highly recommend it to anyone!

Enjoy

Hey Gary, that is some sweet looking Ironwood. I've read some things about David's blades but never had any first hand reports.

Boye/Loveless Persona...

The Cobalt gets a big thumbs up for sure!
When I try cutting across a large flat piece
of leather, most knives would mark a cut but
not go very deeply...where as this knive has
the micro teeth that truly keeps cutting!

The 440C stuff cuts pretty good to but the
Cobalt is the easy winner!

Almost want to see if I can get the Persona in Cobalt!
On this image you can see the Matrix of the Dendretic
crystallization in the blade where David etched to show
the detail, neat looking stuff!

ps
Thanks Jack, yep good stuff all, I haven't talked to David
for a long time now, years I'd say, just did a search to
see if he had anything new out there but just found his
web page which is pretty nice, check it out here
