John, You know I like the Bose pruner pattern. It is just so danged graceful to me. I only have the Case collaboration version but I like it a lot. Oh, for a REAL Bose ivory pruner. The pruner is one of the most neglected and most available of all knife patterns and eventually collectors may start picking them up. They are almost free now even in rare stamps. The Bose pruner design is the Rolls Royce of them all!
