Well, I had typed up a long story for this thread, but I lost it on a database error, so I'll try something shorter... 
Trust me, you're better off than to have to read such dribble anyway! 
As most of you probably already know, I was the unfortunate lottery winner that had lost my Tony Bose knife to a very unscrupulous individual at the Bose table on Friday at the BLADE Show who took an opportunity to poach it right out from under me before I had reached the table to pay for my prize. (If you don't know about this, please check out the sticky thread on the main page of this sub-forum)
Flash forward to this week, I received this one Thursday afternoon, and after opening it up with Mr. Bose on the phone on Friday...and being literally stunned into silence as my eyes took in such a wonder, I did try to give it some credit with photos. I failed, but they do show this fine masterpiece of a knife, so I'll post them anyway. Also, Mr. Bose & Mr. Hampton were both so very kind to take a series of WIP images that were sent to me along the timeline of this very short wait for my enjoyment, and I figured that y'all might like to see them too. I'll place them in Post #2.
So, with many, many humble thanks to Mr. Bose for taking the time out of his busy schedule to recreate a masterpiece to replace my poached lottery ZS, and also with much thanks to Mr. Don Hanson for offering to send more damascus if needed (it wasn't as it turns out but still I do appreciate it very much!), and also with many thanks to many members of this fine forum for keeping an eye out for that missing ZS, I now present the masterpiece that which is the new Hanson Damascus & pre-ban ivory Zulu Spear.
I was playing around with the color levels on this pic for fun, but due to the angle, it does show a bit more on how slender this knife is.
I hope that you enjoy the pix!
