One of the members of the Bose Facebook page has a prototype Tony built. A stunner in old German bone.

Tony loved to tease me with that hat. It identifies the wearer as a “Registered Coon Ass.“ Anyone from Louisiana will know what that means. Tony was an honorary member of our clan and well loved by many of us down the bayou. He really enjoyed selling knives to people who would use them.

He insisted on putting that “Federal” shield on my Saddlehorn, because I work for the government. As if I would argue with his selection!

You are fortunate to have Tony make a knife just for you, Coon Ass (whatever that means)!! Are you Registered??

Nice jigged bone pairing Ron, two great knives

I never met Tony Bose, and only had a small amount of interaction with him here on BF, but I'm feeling very sad about his passing, not just because of the loss to his friends and family, but because of the huge hole in the knife world, in terms of his personal knowledge and experience. RIP Tony Bose I don't have one of his knives, but I'm going to slip one of the Case-Bose models in my pocket today

Thanks for the compliment Jack! Great photos and knives buddy!

A Scout and a great-looking fixed-blade is a great combination JJ

Thanks Jack!!! Your previous post was my inspiration!

Well done pairing; your T. Bose Case (RIP) looks awesome with your lamb!

Thought I'd start the week with another handy scout and FB combo.

What pattern is that big GEC on the bottom?

I got it in a very generous GAW.
The only number on it is 981316; I don't know if part of that is the model number.. It's a stockman with a punch instead of a spay.
