I really like the Eureka Jack. I handled one at the Case factory when they came out, and was impressed. I finally got my hands on one not too long ago.

I take the fit and finish on these is good? Looks to be in the pics I've seen posted here, but looks can be deceiving in web photos.

Being a Bose Collaboration, it has the fit and finish at least as good as some of the custom slip-joints I have.
I don't think I've had a Collaboration that I wasn't happy with.

Good to know - will need to unload a quite a few other knives to cover the cost I think.

Thanks for answering the questions. Have a great weekend.

Some can find flaws with Sophia Loren. I have 5 Bose/Case and they are all worth what I paid and didn’t have any flaw that was objectionable and required a return. I goobered one up and Case fixed for free even though it was my faullt.

Thanks as well.

Agreed on the finding fault issue. I have a few knives I know others here would have returned, the flaws aren't bad enough IMHO for me to mess with returns or repair.

I found a few shops that still have some. After looking at the options I have one in jigged brown bone on order.

Pic thread - today's mix.
