Tom Watson Damascus folder

[Jim Richardson]

Tom Watson is one of the longtime makers that has never really had a presence on the internet. He's kinda a FL/GA secret. Those of us lucky enough to live in this area have kept him busy, but it's time to let the rest of the world see some of his work.

Here is my latest Watson. It has a 3" blade, G-10 scales and is fully file worked. The thumb stud is done as a Maltese Cross, while the filework on the body is a seies of fish (put the two halves together to see the fish). The clip is mounted very high on the body so the knife sits deep in your pocket.

Very nice knife indeed. Simple and elegant... But IMO it would deserve better than G-10 scales and maybe a different bolster.... but then it would not be simple anymore

Very nice, Jim! Thanks for sharing.

I personally would have prefered this knife with a natural handle material. I think these types of materials go better with damascus than G-10 does. That being said, I still think this is a very nice knife. The damascus is outstanding.

Very nice! I see why you guys have kept him a secret. I do agree that some sort of natural material would be a great alternative for scales, but that's a nice piece of work....thanks for the pictures...
