These two knives will be auctioned off at the Case factory with the proceeds going to the Case Collectors Club.

From Case:

Tribal Spear Combination Set
This one-of-a-kind set features two versions of Case’s all-new Tribal Spear pattern (TB2010). One knife was custom built by Designer and Case Collaborator, Tony Bose, in his Indiana workshop. It features certified Smooth Elephant Ivory handles; the other was hand-crafted by Case Model Maker, Paul Lipps and features Genuine Mother-of-Pearl handles. Both knives are assembled using Raindrop Carbon Damascus blades and Random Carbon Damascus bolsters and Pawn shield. Each knife has been hand-finished with the makers Proto stampings. The paired set is packaged in a cherry box, complete with two genuine leather carrying pouches which have been autographed by the respective artisans.

Wow.
Just like when a pretty girl enters the room and it all goes quiet and everyone stares.
 
Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Yowza!!!
 
Looking at the long term they might be better than a pretty girl. Those babies will look good for a few generations, even if they are used hard and put up wet for a short time. :D.
 
Ok who thinks they'll let em go for say...under 150? If so I'll take em! In all actuallity those are amazing and whoever gets them is go na have a great passdown to their children, grandchildren, etc.
 
Here are the shots of the TS that Tony made before it was sent to Case:

That really is a stunning knife, Kerry...
 
crbauhs, I'll see your 150 and raise you to $200. They oughta be worth a $100 a piece, don't you think! ;)
Oh, I forgot about the cherry box . . . make it $225. :D
 

You know, when I see this knife, two words come to mind ... "holy grail". I mean, ivory, damascus, fluted bolster, barehead trapper style, modified spear point knife made by Mr. Bose. This is the sort of knife Egyptian Pharaohs would want buried with them to take into the afterlife. Priceless and simply stunning!
 
The auction will be at the Case Collector Reunion July 16-17 at Case's factory. There's more info on Case's Web site under "events."

Thanks for adding your pictures in Kerry. I'm pretty sure I heard an angel sigh at the sight of this knife.
