I think that's the first Tozaki I've seen posted here on BF. How do you like it?! It looks fantastic! I love the way he stays true to the Tony Bose style with excellent hand rubbed blade finish and top notch jigged bone.

I'd never heard of TOzaki before but that trapper immediately caught my eye. Good stuff everyone!

That Tozaki is pretty. He makes a terrific knife. And his jigged bone . . . off the hook! Closest thing you will ever find to vintage Remington bone. I tried to buy some from him with no luck. I do have one of his knives with his jigged bone for the scales, and it is spectacular. There are a bunch of great custom traditional knife makers, but Tozaki is right near the top.

- thank you @The Virginian :)

Yes, it is indeed a sweet thing - the bone is just the best I have in my stables.

My Bose 4" backpocket. Waited many many years for this but once I had it I decided it was just a little too big for my daily carry and I decided to pass it on as I couldn't justify keeping something so nice but not using it.

No!!! Say it ain't so...that knife was as close to perfect as any I've seen.
 
Wow there's some real beauties coming out of the woodwork!!

ISK, that Erickson looks well loved! This is the one made exactly to my specs and "wants" and I carry it more than all of my other knives.

Nice choice, that's going to be a real beauty. It's actually pretty close to what I'd order as well.
 
I ordered another TAD today. Double blade clip/drop and wharnie with todds signature long and thin blade. Barehead with lanyard tube. Bout 3 3/4 or so and thin. I asked him to set the blades deep when closed and have nail nicks on opposite sides. Not sure what the covers will be yet but leaning towards forest green or red g10 as it will be a user.
 
Well you guys inspired me to break down and order one from Todd today too. Figured it made sense to just get exactly what i wanted.

4 1/8" Gunstock
3/32 A2 spear blade with swedge and long pull
Cocobolo covers with bow tie shield
Rat tailed bolsters, coined edge, lanyard tube

So excited! This will be my first custom order.
 
Do custom mods to production folders count? Don't want to muddy the waters with stuff that doesn't belong.
 
Not entirely sure which traditional pattern this one is closest to...

However, with nice solid Ti scales, it is a great pock-knife not to worry about if it's mixing in a pocket with a set of keys - a real nice edc, this.

Shing has just been accepted into the Cape Knifemakers Guild (South Africa) - congrats!

Nice one, Chui. Looks like a Muskrat pattern. I like how simple and clean it is, looks like a very slim and useful knife.
