Tabled Out!

Thank you for the fine examples. Like the Clifton Pipe Tool you displayed, the ideal pipe knife for me is one that has a reamer, spike, tamper, and small pen blade. In the pipe smoker's world, there is quite the proliferation of cheaply made tools that don't have a whole lot of visual appeal, though they do get the job done. Like with most things I am interested in, I tend to crave quality made examples and I had discovered awhile back that there simply wasn't much variety to choose from aside from hunting for more vintage ones. Things might be different now though as I haven't looked a whole lot since then. I had even considered embarking on attempting to make my own, which I still might do, but we shall see.

Thank you again for the examples, something to file away for future reference, for sure.

I've never seen one with a pen blade. Which includes the AG Russell, unfortunately.

Always fun to see what you find, Jack. Thanks for the neat pictures and stories.
