In 1972, Tony Bose fashioned his first knife using a power hack saw blade he'd received from a friend. He'd work for years to perfect skills before pursuing a full-time custom knife making career in 1990. Tony,s impact was quickly felt across the industry,, winning Best Folding Knife Awards from the 1994 East Coast Custom Knife Show and the 1995 Blade Show. In 1998, Tony began working as a Custom Collaborator with Case. His first catalog pattern, the Sowbelly, debuted to great acclaim in 2001. The Saddlehorn followed in 2004 and the Sway Back Jack this year. To honor Tony Bose, and to celebrate this tremendous design partnership, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is proud to introduce the Tony Bose Commemorative. The Sowbelly, Saddlehorn and Sway Back Jack feature Standard Jigged Dark Molasses Bone handles and Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades. Displayed in a handsome wooden box production will be limited to 500 sets.
