Tom Ploppert - City Knife

This is a Tom Ploppert City Knife, and, in fact, this is the Prototype for his rendition of the City Knife pattern, This slip joint features a hand rubbed satin finished blade of CPM154 steel, it is marked PROTOTYPE, the blade opens at approx. 5 1/2 on a 10 pt. scale and it is pinchable, the bolsters and frame are integral, also with a hand rubbed satin finish and the best feature on this knife, IMHO, are the presentation quality perfectly matched stag scales. Topping off this gent's knife is a lanyard hole. Tom has become recognized as an elite, top tier, custom knife maker, Tony Bose was one of his mentors. This one is brand new from Tom at the Blade Show.
