When I landed this Tony Bose swayback gent last Summer, it was my ultimate grail find. A truly perfect everyday carry sized knife built by the living legend.

But now I have to let it go. Turns out, it’s a little too perfect for me. I’m not carrying or using it, so it deserves another home where it’ll get used (or maybe just admired more), and I’ll continue to enjoy my other Bose gent.

Pre-owned, in excellent condition, this is the harder-to-find gents size of the classic swayback jack pattern, 3 and 1/8” closed, cutting edge of the D2 blade is 2 and 1/8” and razor sharp. Blade is perfectly centered when closed.

Beautiful stag, lots of texture with cream, tan and brown color variations.

This is serial number 5 for those who care about this sort of thing.

Spring is 100% flush in open, half-stop and closed positions. Really snaps solidly into its open position (very satisfying sound). Cannot be pinched, and the pull is at the upper end. Not a nail-breaker though.

Check out the pics for the fit and finish on this beauty!

I’ve never carried or used it. There’s a little something on the blade and spine, I think it’s excess wax or the such that a previous owner may have used to care for the knife. Should come off with a good cleaning.

Comes with a very nice brown leather sheath.

Sales price is SOLD via PayPal, or subtract 3% of the sale price if you pay by USPS money order or certified check.

Price is inclusive of shipping USPS insured with tracking.

Buyer must be over 18 and live in the continental US.

No trade offers please.

PM or email me (jamesgotz@me.com) with questions.

Thanks for looking!

James

Price drop above.

For what it's worth, I just did a search in the Individual Custom sales thread, and found only ONE Tony Bose swayback gent in this size ever offered for sale here (and that was 3 years ago). These just do not come up often, and as I understand it, Tony is no longer taking orders. Something to keep in mind.

Thanks for looking.

Final price drop posted today.

If the knife does not sell by end of the weekend, it'll be withdrawn.

Thanks for looking.
