I was super fortunate to meet Tom thru my friend Bobby (Accuracy Shop). Recently acquired this unbelievable fillet:


Amazing flex and cutting ability

Hey, Geis. I got to meet tom at the same function! I was wondering if anyone else here was there.

That 5 blade stockman is simply amazing that mr Kenny owns that you attached photo of. I will probably get Tom to make me a similar in 3 blade.

Been a long time since something was posted here. I got this R1306 from Tom last week and I'm totally blown away by it. Tom started out learning how to make knives from Bill Ruple and he was also a friend of Tony Bose. I'm sure Tony would be proud of this one. It took a lot of polishing. Tom said the scales are a "cathedral cut" that he learned from Tony. CPM 154 blade/spring. 416 integral liners. Alum/Bronze bushing. I can't take very good pics of it so I'm using Tom's.

As Tom said on his Facebook post, pics do not do justice to this stunning ivory.
