If you are interested in one of these knives and would like more information that what is provided below (i.e. description, condition, more pics), please send me a PM.
Tony Bose "Hunter/Utility"
I believe this was made in the early 90s. Comes with Leather Sheath made by Tony. I dont know the steel type and neither did Tony when I showed it to him several years ago. Not sure about the wood handle nothing fancy but the wood is very nice looking with good grain and no scratches. For what it's worth, if you don't like the wood, I imagine someone from Willfred Works would be willing to re-handle it in a material of your liking (it would look cool with stag). Overall Length: 7.5" Condition: Pre-owned in excellent condition, with the exception of a couple of very, very small spots on the reverse side of the blade (these can be easily buffed out but Ill let you do that). Asking Price: $400
Tony Bose "Backpocket"
This knife was posted in the Bose Thread several years ago, so I am copying and pasting what Kerry Hampton wrote in that thread along with a link. The link shows many more pictures than the one I have below. The knife has been used and has developed a nice patina (shown below). There is 0 blade loss and the steel that is used is amazingly tough and hold a great edge. There was recently a good discussion about this steel in the Bose Thread in the Traditional Forum. Everyone was raving about it. This is a user guys. It's not a safe-queen. $1400

"Tony says he has made these shadow patterns since the 70's. This one is a 4.5" Backpocket with a CPM-10V droppoint blade covered in green canvas Micarta. Tony uses a stainless washer that is .100" thick to peen the pivot pin against. This knife is stronger, lighter, and more durable than one made with a bolster/liner configuration."
