I am thinning out the herd a bit to make room for some other knives. I have the following for sale. These are the best images I have at this time. If you would like additional pictures, please let me know.
1. Tony Bose Arkansas Hunter #1. This knife was originally hafted in ivory, which cracked. The original owner (a friend of mine) sent it back to Tony who added the Case Jigged Bone. This is a very rare knife....especially considering the fact that it is stamped #1.
Closed Length - 4.5"
Overall Length -- 8"
Scales - Case Jigged Bone
Steel - ATS34
Condition Pre-owned in mint condition
Asking Price - SOLD
Middle
2. Tony Bose "Fighter" Not much to say about this knife except that it is very, very, very rare. Tony made this in the early 90's (at least that's what I remember him telling me). Fixed blades from Tony are hard to come by...let alone a fighter pattern. Over the years, I had several people make me offers on this knife, but unfortunately, I can't remember who they were
Comes with Leather Sheath made by Tony.
Overall Length: 9"
Scales: Sambar Stag
Bolsters: Nickel Silver
Steel: ATS34
Condition: Pre-owned in excellent condition (normally handling marks on nickel silver bolsters taking into account the age of the knife)
Asking Price: $1,700
3. Ken Erickson Stag Jack. Below is the description and pictures from Ken Erickson when I purchased this knife a few years ago. IT is unused and mint from maker.
I have been wanting to make a large vintage pattern jack and had come across this Hibbard,Spencer and Bartlett jack scaled in Ebony. The overall size of this knife made what I thought would be an interesting single blade , straight jack working knife. I decided to scale this one in some pretty nice stag. Good color and I was able to haft it keeping most of the figure as it was cut nice and flat. My rendition uses premium CPM154cm steel and backspring. This being a large working knife, the pull is appropriate (I think) 7 or 7+ on a scale of 1 to 10. While being on the heavy side the blade opens with a fluid and very smooth action. Great walk and talk. The blade centers perfectly when closed.
4 1/8 closed straight jack
CPM154cm flat ground blade and spring .160 blade stock as is HSB.
Long pull nail-pull
416 Integral frame/bolster
Pinned shield/410 stainless
Stag scales, matched nice from mark side to pile side.

Half stop.

5. Ruichi Kawamura. I purchased this knife from Ryu in 2009. It is based on the Remington R1306 Bullet Pattern. I specifically asked Ryu to include a swedge on the knife (typically he does not).

Overall Length -- 8"
Scales - Sambar Stag
Steel - ATS34
Condition Mint from maker
Asking Price - SOLD
From Ryu's website
6. Mike Zcherney Saddlehorn. I bought this from Mike at Blade in 2010. It is a great knife...I just have enough Saddlehorns. The only condition "issue" is that both blades have a slight wobble. I'm sure Mike could take a look at this and try to tighten them up...I have just never asked him to do it. As an fyi...I paid $1000 for this knife in 2010. I'm almost cutting the price in half because of the wobble (it really isn't bad). Just pricing it to move.
Closed Length - 4.75"
Overall Length -- 8.5"
Scales - Sambar Stag
Steel - ATS34
Condition Mint from maker (except for wobble described above)
Asking Price - $Sold
