***SOLD***

*PJ Tomes Remington Baby Bullet* frontlock with sweet stag scales. It's 3 3/8" long closed with a 2 5/8" blade (Sandvik 12C27 steel with PJ Tomes' great heat treatment). Stainless bolsters and liners. Wonderful matched stag scales showing PJ's usual skill in finely fitting them to the knife -- no fat, clunky stag scales here. Front lock requires only firm pressure to disengage. Has been (lightly) carried, used, and sharpened -- though it's hard to tell. Action is smooth, lockup is solid - no blade play that I can feel. Snap is modest. Note that the spine of the blade is rounded - so you won't see an "invisible" fit with the flat lockbar back when open -- see the scan below of the back when opened. Asking $330 (was $375) -- USPS Priority Mail included CONUS only - PayPal instant payment only please (fee included) -- insurance extra (recommended). [Just saw on PJ Tomes' website that as of July 25, 2010, PJ Tomes is semi-retired from making knives.]

Here are some additional photos to answer some questions about the edge and blade finish:

Hope these are good enough to help -- my scanner is not the greatest for this.

*WC Davis Stainless Damascus Lockback* -- a rather unusual piece from this maker. He may have made other folders with damascus blades, but I don't remember ever seeing any. Knife is 3 15/16" closed with a 3" modified wharncliffe blade made of *very* tight twist stainless damascus (I'm pretty sure it's Damasteel damascus). Has Davis' usual integral aircraft aluminum alloy bolsters/liners with dovetailed bolsters. Gorgeous finely jigged red/amber bone scales (basically an amber body color overdyed with red). Has both nail nick and thumb bob with the typical Davis lockback construction. This particular model knife is Davis' folding interpretation of Loveless' "stiff Horn" knife (which is, of course, Loveless' fixed interpretation of one of Jess Horn's classic folder designs (which itself was originally designed for Jess Horn by Loveless) -- history, it's confusing :) ). Has a very nice tapered construction -- feels great in the hand. Great strong snap open and closed - very solid lockup. Never carried, never used, never sharpened. Asking $215 (was $240) -- USPS Priority Mail included, CONUS only - PayPal instant payment only please (fee included) -- insurance extra (recommended).
