The Story of the "Old Dog" Folding Hunter

The Old Dog Folding Hunter is a Cattaraugus 1079.
This was a knife on Tony Bose's desk he wanted to bring back to life.  Unfortuntely he passed before he was able to pattern + build it.

Just recently Reese Bose patterned this knife.  As a tribute to Tony he named it the "Old Dog" Folding Hunter. 

It is very unique that it is a rounded flush joint.

Tom Ploppert admired Reese's work and he was kind enough to share the pattern with Tom. 

This is Tom's Prototype.
