Do you know when that beauty was made. I've never seen that stamp before.

It does feel that way, it fits my hand like a glove.
I wonder if John has any information about it, regarding estimated build time or location. It has a simple tang stamp when compared to the beautiful script one above. (Though it does suit the work-a-day feel of the knife.)

I'm not sure when it was made, but I got it at a gun show a few years ago... it's marked 52100 on the other side

That's the steel John uses almost exclusively. Very nice.

Really love this knife

Picked this one up from a fellow member this week and really excited about it. When I first started collecting I had a knife very similar to this but in mammoth by John that I foolishly sold, sowbelly with a skinner blade. I had no idea what I had at the time. Been looking for something similar ever since with natural covers and preferably with some texture, bazinga!! To a much lesser degree this was full circle for me similar to our friend @NJBillKs story. I never knew this was a specific Bose pattern that he calls a Rabbit Knife which I think is pretty cool : )

I am glad that you were able to land the knife you wanted. It is nice to know that the knife you want is a reality, and to have it in hand is doubly so.

I just saw the tag, since it didn't register (and thus didn't notify me). Probably due to the addition of the "s".

Again, congratulations on the fantastic looking knife.
