Here's somethin you don't see everyday, a 4" R. Bose Cattaraugus Slim Trapper w/Swinguard. This is Reese's first one of these with a swinguard. Beautiful brown bone jigged and dyed by Reese. Stamped "0". These images were shot with the knife laying on the Cattaraugus Cut. Co. catalog(reproduction) with the original pattern, 11709G, in view.

If you think about it, making slip joints with swinguards creates another degree of difficulty and creates more of a potential for error. There's nothing easy about making these work right;):thumbup:

Here is an older image(by Coop)of the same knife pattern that Tony made some years ago.

That looks great, Reese really did a nice job rolling over the bone, jigging it to the liner….and dying looks nice and dark. That Swing Guard makes that knife, without that you would just have a real simple folder. Thanks for doing the pics

I agree with John, that jigging of Reese's is very nice. The swing guard by Tony has Rem bone?

Id Love to handle that knife
very Cool pattern wonderful execution ..Thanks Kerry

That one is wayyy tooo cooool! I WANT IT!!! WAWAWA
