Congratulations Tony, If anyone deserves it you do for all you've done and for everyone you've helped along the way. Thanks for being you! Dwayne

I still havn't built the trapper you sent the pattern for, but I'm goin to.

It was neat to see Gil award the Red Watson Award to a very deserving Gentleman, Tony Bose.
I had a similar response from a knifemaker a number of years ago and it was very disappointing. Fortunately that is the only maker who ever said, "That is a "trade secret""
and meant it....

Thank you all. It does mean a lot to me.

Congratulations Tony !

To me, that's what makes knife makers in general great. They are always willing to tell you how they do what they do and take the time to show you personally. To me, there's always room for another knife maker and judging by Tony and Reese's waiting list probably more like 10-20 more slipjoint knife makers are needed!

Congrats,

Any award given to Tony or Reese is well deserved. Great folks and great knives. My dad and I always enjoy talking and looking at the Bose table when we attend Bladeshow.

Congrats Tony.
