On a recent antelope hunting adventure to Wyoming, I realized that my long, lost high school chum is a knifemaker. His name is Tom Watts, from Pinedale, WY, and I think he does a pretty darn nice job, so I bought a few of his knives to bring home for my collection. The fit and finish is great.

His "Bull Nose Skinner" in 440C Stainless with Black Onyx w/Gold Veins. Also, note the mosaic pins in the bolster. This is a beautiful knife.

Tom's "Silver Fox" in 440C Stainless with California Buckeye.
This knife fits my hand perfectly and is my personal favorite.

His "Bolstered Guthook", also in 440C Stainless with California Buckeye. I'm not big on guthooks, but this knife completed my selections from Tom.

Very nice. I suspect they will last you and yours many generations of use.
