Vintage Tony - 03/18/09 02:36 PM
This is a 70's vintage T.Bose. At the time this was made, T was working on the kitchen table and had a home made grinder that used an old washing machine motor. One of the following images has the knife sitting on the "grind wheel" that Tony made out of a caster wheel. He glued leather on the wheel(still attached) to improve the surface. The wheel is about 1 1/2" wide and T said he would have to track the 2" belt from side to side to use it. I guess it worked ok.
This knife is probably made out of O-1, has nickel silver liners and bolsters and pins. The bone is some that Culpepper dyed and jigged years ago. This knife has been extremely well taken care of.
