Additional Features:   Direct from the Chicago Custom Knife Show comes this beautiful Tony Bose pattern single blade trapper.   This knife represents Mike's representation on one of the most popular slipjoint patterns,  And what a beautiful representation it is !! Mike started with exquisite sambar stag, with deep contrast, and lovely random grooves and peaks; and went from there.  He employed CPM-154 stainless steel for the blade, 416 stainless for the bolsters and ATS-34 for the springs.  The knife is held together with stainless pins.  This piece is meant to be used and has a great deal of utility for such a low profile in the pocket.  The blade has great action.  Not a wobble can be found.  And the spring action is easy and smooth and will not break a nail.  The spring and blade spine sit perfectly flush when in both the half stop and deployed positions.  By the picture, you can see how great the blade and spring come together.  The perfectly executed federal shield tops off a truly exquisite piece that rivals the work of the best makers in the world today.    Thank you Mike for this fantastically executed work of knife art.
