Tony Bose 4-inch shadow backpocket in micarta with a No. 5 stamp on the blade. This knife has been lightly used. There are some light marks on both sides of the blade that don’t really show up in my scans. Also a few light spots on the pile side swedge, again, hard to see. Not rust pitting, more like patina. (Also some scanner lines on the shield side.)
The blade has Tony’s belt, or scotch brite, finish. I don’t see any sharpening marks on the blade. The steel isn’t stamped on the blade. I’m guessing either D2 or 440V. The micarta is dark green. (Just got an email from Tony and he thinks its 440V before he got the tang stamp made.)
Blade is centered, no blade play, everything else you would expect from one of the top traditional custom knifemakers.
A great knife to put in your pocket and use.
