The first time I came across Tom Wilkinson's (TomW here on the forums) zipper cases was with some knives I had received from Kit Carson last year.
Since that time I have obtained a few directly from Tom as well as with other premium knives, such as my pearl gents folder from Ralph Turnbull.
For those of you not familiar with them, Tom produces a variety of zipper cases for knives as well as models with a velcro closure.
The appearance is somewhat similar to an eyeglass case. The zipper is full length, allowing access to the entire interior compartment.
Some of the cases have a leather-look vinyl exterior, others cordura, faux snakeskin or suede. They are available in a variety of colors. All are very well made, stitched and finished. Each has a thick, soft synthetic fleece padding on the interior to protect the knife from both scratching and shock.
I have been using my cases on my best folders as well as many of my neck knives. They will accommodate a knife up to approximately six inches in length (whether folder or small fixed blade).
For those of you looking for an economical and practical way to take care of your knives, I would recommend getting in touch with our own Tom Wilkinson for pricing and further information.
Tom can be reached via email at: tamrwilk@worldnet.att.net (Thomas Wilkinson)
Orders may be phoned in to 1-800-587-2276.
Highly recommended.
(Disclaimer: Other than as a friend and patron, I have no other connection with Tom and his products.)
