I went to the New York Custom Knife Show today and immediately headed for P.J. Tomes's table. There I bought one of the terrific Tomes-designed production knives--a $150 single-blade trapper of D2 steel and jigged bone. Outstanding fit and finish with a very strong backspring. (The thumbnail enlarges twice--click on the first enlargement to enlarge even more.)

Picked up a little fixed blade from Brent Sandow.

It's really nicely designed, nice thick stock but the Sandvik blade itself is thinned out quite a bit... Scales are my favorite color, and price was pretty nice, $160.

Really wanted a R.Hinderer XM-18, though.

Will use and beat on this

Great looking knife. I like the color of those scales. What are the blade and handle lengths?

GarageBoy · Nov 17, 2007

IIRC, the blade was between 3 and 4" and overall around I'd say, a foot.

Blade is 3 1/4" and overall 7". It fits my hands so nicely, and it is nicely finished, but definitely a workhorse and not a safe queen. It's a shame this maker hasn't gotten more notice.
