Dan you're right I bought this as a user. I've been carrying it since I got it i the slip sheath PJ supplies with it. Or it's out on my desk at work. I particularly like the feel of the knife with the small pen blade out. I mean what more do you really need to open an envelope or a package?
Steven, give P. J. a call at 434-263-8662 (after 11AM EST) tell him Phil sent you. As far as the waiting time, I know this knife was one of three that he made. I don't know if the other two are spoken for, but you might be able to get one for immediate delivery.
Keith, I can't get nothing by you. This is one of several knives I had to put on hold when my business went in the hole after 9-11-01. When I made it back to Blade this year I told the makers that I wanted to get back on their lists again. A couple I even gave the stag I wanted them to use on my knives. There was no set delivery time on any of them. ABS Master Smith P. J. Tomes was the first one to call me to let me know my long awaited knife was ready.
I'm pretty sure it was the next day I get an e-mail from John W. Smith, he told me my knife was ready.
Now I consider John a friend, but knowing how busy he is I wasn't expecting to see my knife this year. But, he told me that he had forgot an order for the same style of knife and thought he should do mine at the same time. I told him, "You know, sometimes I just feel lucky. "
I saw this knife that Gary Graley had from JW and I fell in love.
I told John I wanted that knife in stag, when I had the money and he had the time. I gave him the stag at Blade this year. I haven't received this knife yet, but here's a teaser.
There's a few more coming.
