Can anyone help me glean some more info on this beautiful custom Tom Mayo?
How many were made? Model? Value? Rare? thanks!

That is a TMX, it's a mid tech knife. Seems like these sold from $500-$600 on the aftermarket. Not sure how many we're made.
 
It's a mid-tech knife, the parts were sent out for cutting (waterjet/laser?) then Tom finished them up by hand, fit the lock, satinise it etc.
 
This one actually looks to be a little more rare though. Twill inlays, tip-up clip, and S30V blade was not a common combination. A lot of the S30V TMXs I've seen are tip-down and usually carbon fiber, but yours looks like his silver twill to me. Not super rare, being a TMX and one of his less expensive knives, but in this configuration it might be a little more rare than usual.

Edit:
Supposedly, upon further research, only the first 50 he did were in S30V, the other 90 or so being CPM-154, so the S30V seems to be the rarer of the two steels. Then there was a handful made in 6K which I'm sure is the rarest.

I was lucky enough to acquire this tmx for a friend and kgnikon was kind enough to cut a good deal - thanks ;). Every tmx is different, really shows how much handwork is in Tom's midtechs.
