I got my TK4 in s30 and it's a right smart piece.
Krein is busier than a one legged man in a bowlin alley, and he was nice enough to finish this TK4 before I retired and moved next to him in Arkansas.

Brown micarta, brass pins and a strikingly familiar toxic lanyard to help fill the ample lanyard hole.
This is a radically different blade shape for me and I really like it. Pointy as the day is....well you know....

fits the hand well as it's tween the TK1 and TK8 in size.....Meaningless to youse that don't have one...
OAL is ~ 6.5 inches
blade length is ~ 3 inches from front of choil to tip

I carry it canted ~ 45 degree on weak side so I can move the old ladies out from front of me with my cane.

this affords easy and, relatively for me, quick deploy...

So far I used it for all the usual edc stuff, whittled some strong branches, cut up my fish for dinner tonight, cleaned the fish smell off the knife with soap and water. Cleans up real nice, maintains his Krein edge AND...It's a right nice slicer, cutter and wickedly pointy thang

Torz, did you get your Krein yet?
I forget which one you were gettin...TK8?

It is a different style and I really like the functional pointiness of the tip.
It's structurally sound enough that I'm not worried about the tip breakin.

WHERE is the paint can I need to open :)

Nice pics and nice knife.

I ordered a TK8 from Tom two weeks ago; should be ready in a few months. Maybe I'll have to order a TK4 next...
 
Great review, as always, Tom. Great little knife too. Just the right size for edc. Great pics also :).

Yeah Tom, it was a TK-8 red micarta and I got it early last month. I can't get over how nice it is. I might try to locate some "gold" micarta and ask Tom to make me up another TK-8 later this year... (after savin' up a little) :)
 
That looks great! i'd love to get one with a 3.9" blade. i'll have to contact tom in the future for such a project.
