The swedging is wonderful, and the gold bar shield really puts it over the top. Oh, and the bone is pretty nice and all too.

I like the slimmer profile wharncliffe blade better than the rounder, deeper profile wharncliffe blades I've seen on some other Bose wharncliffe whittlers.
About the only thing that would add that final crowning touch for me would be using 14K gold pins instead of stainless steel pins.
