Such a cutie pie and so very handy, I use this knife all the time for
things like cutting out shipping labels to carving out sections of foam
when I ship a sheath or a knife out, just makes for a nicer package
when the person opens and finds that kind of care taken of their stuff;

a little shot of old and new, in the background is a large Classic inlay Sebenza
and the Tuxedo setting up front;

I use the Tuxedo almost like a minature skinning knife as I carve out the
layer of foam, I pull back what was cut and keep slashing away to remove it;

ending up with a resting place for knife or sheath;

A handy knife, a gift from a fellow formite that I'll always remember, since I
carry it every day :)

Enjoy those little knives, they carry a sharp edge to them!

Nice Sheath.

Nice knives, as well.
 
Nice knives Gary! I wondered what knife you used to cut the foam. I gotta say that the sheath fits in the foam; as nice as the knife fits in the sheath! A true craftsman:thumbup:
 
Great pics Gary! That's a nice looking Tuxedo! That other knife is not too shabby either.:p

I can say that you make an excellent sheath and your return package is exceptional!! ;)

Thanks Gary, now I have a tuxedo on the brain. Very nice sheath too.
 
Thanks guys and sorry to tempt you folks to get a Tuxedo, they
are an understated knife that even non knife people will not go
crazy if you pull it out to cut something!

Thanks guys, take a look around the leather section of the forums, there are
a LOT of great guys making sheaths now a days, this one is of course sold
and heading home tomorrow, just wanted to show how that Tuxedo is pressed
into duty on a regular basis :)

If I may, Gary, a Camilius tuxedo. Shown with Case peanut for comparison. I believe this one is even smaller than the Case tux.
A great little knife for batoning firewood, fighting zombies or skinning mooses.:D

Hi,

Good Heaven's man! that Tuxedo looks almost anorexic! Don't think I've seen one quite that small.

Thanks CJ and Thomason, I agree, feed that rascal some steel wool or something! ;)
although it does look pretty sleek :)

Mr. Graley sir; That is a very very cute little knife. But I am a little confused; I always thought the tuxedo's came with slim spear point blades. I like the larger blade on the one you show. A small package with decent amount of blade, kind of like another small knife I like. Now I wonder if I have overlooked the little tuxedo.

Very nice!:thumbup:
 
Thanks, as far as it's being a Tuxedo, looking at the Case knive site they have two
now available Here both with the same style blades.

I keep that knife in a small slip sheath for a few reasons,
it helps to keep gunk out of the knife
protects it from coins and stuff that ride along with the knife
and finally the little slip sheath adds some resistance for the
knife so that it doesn't slip out of your pocket too easily and
fall down between the cushions of your chair! :)

That sounds like the voice of experience. ;) My first knife was a little tuxedo pen that is even thinner than the Camillus. I found it when I was six or seven years old. Last year I had a Camillus Tuxedo crawl out of my pocket and go looking for the next kid to infect with knifenutitis. :D

God has blessed you too Thomason. I can tell you have peace in your heart not just for peanuts, but for tuxedos as well.:thumbup:
