Tony Bose Case Addicts

Are there any other Tony Bose fans out there?

Picked up a new in box Arkansas Hunter today at Lehman's Hardware in Kidron, Ohio. There were 2 displayed at $339.00 each. Eva, the Case expert at Lehman's gave me a 30% discount bringing the price down to $237.30 + tax; I snatched up the Chestnut Bone immediately. Eva is holding the Ebony version until I save up the cash (I limit my Case knife addiction). I will definitely return for the Ebony variant next month.

I have a fondness for Tony Bose knives, good deals, and Eva.

I was actually looking for the new BackPocket Silver Script Goldenrod Bone (10131) to continue my collecting the BackPocket/Lanyard TBs.

I say Ebony too. And a beauty it is!

Okay you Case Bose addicts, maybe you can tell me what kind of wood handles I have on this Saddlehorn.

I bought this along with 7 other mint condition knives from a gun store here in Orange about 2 years ago. The store owner picked up about 60 pcs from an estate sale. I didn't know anything about this knife except it was different than the other patterns.

Got to say something about this knife. I wanted a Tony Bose Custom. He is not taking any new orders. So I took my new stag swayback to have it prettied up a little bit. When I picked it up I dropped off my deep canyon chestnut bone swayback and backpocket to have them done. He said he may have them a while. So now I'm going to have to figure out what I'm going to use for edc's. I hope I can find a knife around here to carry. lol

Big Bose fan here. I have 3 Norfolks in my EDC rotation (chestnut, antique, and ebony) and a chestnut Lanny's Clip recently bought to accompany me as a woods knife.

I also have a few Sway Back Jacks that I frequently carry.

The swayback just seems to fit in my hand and pocket perfect.
