I guess those at Shot know. Kerry has some pictures to post for us tomorrow and I have a press release from Case.

Kerry has the pictures. From Case:
Case/Bose Collaborative: Arkansas Hunter (TB’12008)
What happens when a legendary knife maker and a well-known knife manufacturer work together to breathe new life into a vintage knife pattern? The result is a limited edition Case/Tony Bose collaborative. This year, Case and Bose have teamed up to produce a limited edition Arkansas Hunter, with specially shaped stainless steel bolsters that give it a look reminiscent of an old-time “Coffin Jack.” The pattern measures 4-5/8” when closed. The 3-3/8” Clip blade is wire-cut from 154-CM steel and finished with a cut swedge. Pins and bolsters are made from stainless steel, and a milled liner inside the knife handle ensures smooth blade operation. The bomb-shaped shield is pinned-on for added strength. Production will be capped at 1,000 pieces in a variety of premium handle material options. Available late summer.

It features a Wharncliffe master blade and a secondary Pen blade, both made of Tru-Sharp™ surgical steel. The blades are flat ground, tapered, and artfully swedged. The design of the knife’s springs allow the blades to remain flush with the back side when blades are at opened, closed, and half-stop positions.

Here is the prototype that Tony worked up for Case. It is patterned from an old Empire Knife Co. saddlehorn lockback but only in slip joint form. The prototype is 4.5" long with Case bone, ATS-34 blade and springs, all stainless hardware.
