This "Nanner" is based on the HTT pattern but with a single blade and has a federal shield instead of a bullet. Dyed and jigged by Reese, the camel bone is much harder and doesn't take dye when treated the same as the standard cattle bone that he uses. The same dye was used as he normally would use to produce the nice chocolate color we all like. Blade and spring is D-2 and is stamped "1".
I love this pattern -- though I think I would want a longer shield for aesthetic balance - something like a double bomb shield would be perfect. I felt the same way about the gorgeous deeper brown bone version that's been shown here before - beautiful but just a little "under-shielded" with the federal shield.

Good Point...... personally I think that frame screams for a bullet shield..
It's great to see Another great knife out of the Wilfred Works! That camel looks pretty cool! Heck, either with the Fed. shield or a longer double bomb..it would look great in My Pocket!

Thanks Kent..I talked to Reese this morning and he said the Fed. Shield is what the original knife came with. I wasn't sure about that light color bone but after I saved the pic as my monitor background, I cant stop looking at it..I may carry this knife for a while..
Great Pic KHam!! Probably one of my favorite Bose pics so far.. ..
Nice knife with such a traditional look. Speaking of great Reese pieces, did anyone see the serpintine trapper that was recently listed and sold somwhere? I love that extended spring and the blade choice is what would be perfect for me. The main blade was muskrat like and the smaller was a wharncliffe.
I had a Shapleigh Hardware Co. knife a long time ago..and it had the same color bone scales. I am like you Kerry..every time I look at the pic it just keeps looking better and better..
