Unfortunately, my only Tom Ferry knife isn't a bowie. I found these pics while surfing around. I'm telling you, if these are half as awesome as they look in the pics, I'm gonna have to find a way to get one of them.

Here's another one. This guy has a style I really like.

Danbo · Oct 27, 2003

One more pic; only this one isn't a bowie. It's pretty sweet anyway.

Danbo, nice looking knives...I am partial to the second one...clean, very clean

Those look to be www.bladegallery.com pictures, with the watermarking removed. Gotta say, Tom's work is even BETTER in person than in the pics. The knives are light and alive. The Damascus is MIND BOGGLING. Some of his tight pattern stuff you could look at all day and not "see it all". Check out his website: www.tferryknives.com

Yep, even better is right. He's won at least one, and I believe more, awards at the Eugene show. The reason for that is evident when you handle one of his pieces.

Not to mention Best Damascus (fixed Blade) at the BAKCA 2003 show:

The piece that won at BAKCA was outstanding!

Both thos fighters appeal to me, but the damascus one really appeals to me. I love the lines and the S-guard.

This one won best fighter at the 2002 Eugene show. That's some eye-popping damascus to be sure (photo from bladegallery.com):

I like his stuff a lot. Would love to be able to see one in person.

Roger, Blade show is the place to meet Tom and see his knives. Havent seen him in Little Rock yet.

Plain ol Bill · Oct 28, 2003

Haven't seen the book yet but I understand he has NINE (9) knives in the Knives 2004 book!

Tom Ferry · Oct 28, 2003

Thanks for the comments guys. As for shows currently I will be doing the ABS Reno show, Montana, Blade, and BAKCA.

Danbo · Oct 28, 2003

Hey Tom, think Little Rock in February. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.

Tom Ferry · Oct 29, 2003

Danbo,
I would like to do that show , however with the Reno show in Jan and The Shot Show in Feb., it just isn't possible. Maybe next time.

Tom--what hotel is the ABS show held in Reno? Don't know if folks have noticed. Classic show is in LV Jan 16-18 and the following weekend is the ABS show. Anyone any idea of temperatures in Reno that time of year?

I'm strongly considering heading to a southern route across US so I can stay in the van and getting into LV for Classic and then up north to Reno for ABS and then deciding if I go back south or maybe a trip to show Phyllis my home town in winter.

Just not sure how much winter I want to spend driving the conversion van.
