Well-crafted custom two-blade folding knife by Reese Bose, marked “R. BOSE” and “WILFRED WORKS” on the tangs. The knife features a spear-point master blade and secondary blade, both finished with clean satin surfaces and marked “440V,” denoting premium high-carbon stainless steel known for excellent edge retention. The handles are jigged bone with a classic stag-style appearance, displaying warm brown and cream tones, and are fitted with polished nickel silver bolsters and a traditional shield. This example reflects the Bose family’s highly regarded approach to traditional American pocketknife patterns, combining precise fit and finish with modern materials.
