.....he is on that fast pace learning curve

For me the test would be for Tony to use Reese's stamp on a knife Tony made or vice-versa. I wouldn't be confident that I could tell that something was amiss. You would?

Oh that's blasphemy. Knifemakers don't trade stamps . I think that's probably up there with(but for different reasons) wearing somebody elses underwear. That'll never happen.

That said, the stamp wouldn't matter in a blind test for me because I don't think I could feel the name with my rough fingers. I still say I would have to rely on how they work. The differences are really subtle but there nonetheless.

Less Filling!!

SLIPS GREAT!

A lot of the guys I know who have been collecting Boses for many years hesitate to make comparisons between Reese and Tony's work, although they know the differences better than anyone.

Now if you did want to compare them, the best way to do it might be to get the same knife, same serial number, say a #0 prototype of a popular pattern like the 4 inch BP, one from Reese and one from Tony, and put the both out on your desk and play with them for a while. Kind of like what I just did with these...

Hi Eddie,

Great idea. Send them this way would you?? I would like to compare them with my #5 in stag by Tony.. Wonder if there is a difference
