Here's one I just received today. This little Ohta is very nicely done!

Nice one. I have several knives from Ohta-san - probably the best value in a pocket knife today. His will be the first table I head for at Blade in June. :)
 
Very nice Ohta. The Friction folder he made up for me is one of the best of such designs I have ever seen! Mike
 
I'm a big fan of his work and currently have two of his knives.
I had a couple of his friction folders at one time and they were really neat. He also does some terrific Loveless designs in miniature.

That's a beauty and Holger's right he's one of todays best values.

And, he does a wonderful job of putting stag scales on knives. Right up there with Bailey Bradshaw and Kansei Matsuno.
 
I really like Ohta's work. I have 2 of his pieces - one is in my pocket right now.

That was my plan, last year. Only, when I got there (maybe 5 or 10 minutes after the doors opened for the "VIP" crowd), there was just a sign saying he was all sold out. :grumpy:
 
When it comes to great custom slippies at an awesome price Ohta and Tomes are at the top of the list IMO.
