Tony Bose made Napanoch
I picked up a knife from a guy in Florida named Noah Mucha that says it came from Rhett's estate. He had it on ebay as a old Napanoch. In the pictures it looked like the blade on the knife was a Napanoch but the handle and frame looked new and custom made. I thought it looked like a Bose made knife. I got it in the mail and found it to have marked on the inner liner T Bose Wilfred IN. I called Tony and he said that he did indeed make the knife. The blade came from Rhett and that he built the knife around the blade. It's about 4 5/8" closed. Tony said that he jigged the bone himself for the handles.
It's the first knife I ever owned made by Tony and it sure is nice, check out the pics.

Re: Tony Bose made Napanoch
Yea me too I love the darn thing. The fit and finish is great as all of his knives are. If anyone is going the NCCA show in Marlboro Mass on Nov 16 the knife will be there. I am setting up at the show for the first time.

Re: Tony Bose made Napanoch
I believe the term originated with the master himself, Tony Bose.

Re: Tony Bose made Napanoch
That is one heck of a blade, I can see why someone would want to build a knife around it. Great find and pick up! 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I have 3 of the old Saddlehorn pattern knives, all identical except for the names stamped on them. That has to be one of the prettiest patterns made. Dave
