It's very rare to see Tom Overeynder mentioned here. I know he is probably best known for making amazing art knives, but he also is one of the top makers of slip joints around. His 'serpentine trapper' was the "Best of Show" winner at the 2009 Guild show, so apparently others agree.

If you have ever handled one of Tom's knives, you know the fit and finish is unrivaled! And he's a great guy too!

Enough babbling - bring on the photos!
Here are a couple examples of Tom's work I have. Please post any others here as well!

This is an unusual one - it's a THREE-bladed doctor knife! He adds a third scalpel-like blade to the spear and spatula - very cool! This one is 3 3/4" closed.

Here is an amazing gunstock. It's 3 3/8" closed and has great black lip! And a gold shield that is modeled after a .22 bullet. Also, notice he uses a 'stove pipe' (thanks for that info Kerry!) kick on his slip joints. The only time I've noticed that.

If anyone else is a fan of Tom's work, show it off here!
 
Both of those puppies are fantastic. The scalpel blade is a great addition to the Doc.

Thanks for showing them.
 
Bill,

Very cool doctor's knife:thumbup:

The gunstock is neat on many levels. I like the 22 "bullet" shield.

I think the stovepipe kicks are a classy touch.

Thanks for sharing and hope to see other examples also of Tom's work here.

this guy has been at it awhile, seen his knives in lots of mags, guess he has a big backload of orders so hes in the background working hard. has always been near the top.
 
I get to visit with Tom at the guild show pretty much on a yearly basis, heck of a nice guy and I love his knives. I read somewhere not too long ago that in 30 years of knifemaking he's never been without an order.
Ken.
 
Wins my best doctors knife award for what my opinion is worth. Both are refined beauties.
 
Very nice :thumbup: Doctors knives have never done anything for me, but that one certainly does :D....
I really like the stove pipe kicks, nice touch
