I thought that Pat Tomes was retired !I just got this one directly from PJ Tomes. He is truly a master bladesmith, and a master at working stag. And a super nice guy to top it off! The stag looks and feels incredible on this, and the forged 52100 blade is perfect.![]()

He is I believe, although I did ask him what I should do if anybody asked for his contact info an he said go ahead and give it to them. I don't think makers like PJ ever fully retire.I thought that Pat Tomes was retired !
nice and clean knife , he is one of the best in selecting and using stag scales
