I got this R1306 from Tom last week and I'm totally blown away by it. Tom started out learning how to make knives from Bill Ruple and he was also a friend of Tony Bose. I'm sure Tony would be proud of this one. It took a lot of polishing. Tom said the scales are a "cathedral cut" that he learned from Tony. CPM 154 blade/spring. 416 integral liners. Alum/Bronze bushing. I can't take very good pics of it so I'm using Tom's.
As Tom said on his Facebook post, pics do not do justice to this stunning ivory.

Congratulations, what an exceptional knife.
Tom makes wonderful knives. I am lucky enough to own several of his pieces and love everyone of them.

Thanks! I bet you have some nice ones. A while back I wrote an article on Tom for Knife World. He sent me three ivory knives to CE and CF before I wrote my story. I didn't let my kids touch them.

I love this pattern, and have several, all made by Queen. This is the only one without the usual Queen quality control problems.
