This month we feature a giveaway from a newly minted donor who has agreed to part ways with his Case trapper #6254 SS Natural bone handled Tony Bose Memorial knife which was a Shepherd Hills exclusive. This knife from 9/8/2021 was commissioned to commemorate the passing of Tony Bose and his induction into the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The handles are smooth natural white bone that have been etched with his likeness on the front and on the back "Cutlery Hall of Fame". The covers are chip and crack free and the stainless steel blades have not been used or resharpened and retain their factory edge. The knife measures 4" closed and has a solid snap and no wobble or play and comes with the original box!
Good Luck!

I will be on the lookout to pay it forward in the future.
I probably should bet on some horses that have a possible knife or
sharpening theme
