Tomes and Long

[Thomason]

Knife by P.J. Tomes, about 4 inches, forged 52100 and stag.
Sheath by Paul Long with an Australian frog inlay.
This rig has me grinning from ear to ear.

That's very nice...

The Scagel style folders just recently caught my eye and I've been trying to decide on a custom versus the Queen repro.

Do you have any experience with Ray Kirk's version?

 

[sierra11b]

Awesome!

 

[Mike Robuck]

Very, very nice Rob. Congrats on both. That's P-U-R-D-Y

Do you have any experience with Ray Kirk's version?

Oh yes , I saw your earlier post while I was reading up on them.


I like the bolstered version too, they're both nice...

 

[Amos Iron Wolf]

Well, you should be grinning ear to ear! Nice!

Classseeeeyyyy !!!! :thumbup: That looks great Thomason, I want to hold that baby in my hands...But I would settle for a picture of the frog inlay on the sheath if you get a chance...

[Thomason]

Sunburst,
I'm not sure if you were just kidding about wanting a picture of the inlay or not. I can try and take a close-up tomorrow. Paul said, " It was some of the best tanned leather I've ever seen".

 

[cockroachfarm]

That little sheath is outstanding! (May I bother you for some contact info on the maker?)

 

[Thomason]

Paul Long post herebouts as "sheathmaker". Here is his email. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/member.php?u=141951
A search in this forum and in the Gallery should turn up all kinds of pictures.

Rob-that's a winning combination for sure!!! Here is my version-from PJ and Paul:

 

[fewpop]

jivedaddy, Outstanding! Great photos as well.

 

[waynorth]

Real nice setup! The stag is fitted in traditional "best knife" fashion, gnarly end to end!
And being an old brownfinger, I love the look of a well made sheath. Class act old man!!

 

[waynorth]

Yikes, another one! This Mr. Tomes knows how to do it! As does Mr. Long!!

I knew Paul Longs sheathes were first rate but these two are tremendous works. What great combinations fellas. Tomes' work never ceases to amaze me. Fine rigs guys. I wish you all many years of enjoyment with great pleasure..
