So I'm going to combine two reviews into this comment box. The first is for the actual product. Many months ago, and again recently, I had some knives that I wanted scabbards for. They had the nylon ones, but those are good for nothing. So I sent Tom a box of knives with two very simple instructions...1. I want the blades covered and 2. get creative. That was it. I believe there were about 8 or 9 knives total. A few weeks later I get this picture from Tom with all my knives laid out in their new kydex scabbards. I was more excited than an kid at Christmas. OMG!! they were beautiful and functional and not only made my cheap camp knives look cool, they protected the edges and my hands when I was reaching into the bin to grab them (unlike before with the nylon crap). So what happened when I got a new knife that didn't come with a belt holder? I emailed Tom and asked if I could send him another one. He said sure and the process began again. I just described what I was looking for, and a couple weeks later Christmas came early again. His kydex work is superb! I would rather send stuff to Tom, across the country, than work locally.My second review is about Tom himself. First, I've never worked with someone so devoted to his craft AND his customers. He really aims to please and he consistently delivers. He is more concerned about getting the final result correct for the customer, and is willing to work to great ends to make sure he delivers. His communication is fantastic! Letting me know when the order arrived, if he has any questions, rather than assuming he will confirm, gives you updates along the way (for large orders) and upon completion, let's you know when your order is on it's way back to you. Honestly, I've never worked with someone so committed to his customers, and I gladly pay extra in shipping to send orders to him, because I know it will be done right!I wear his pancake and liberator holsters as part of my EDC. They are quality holsters and I've never had an issue with them. At a recent 3 day training, which involved one full day of one-handed manipulations, I abused the hell out of my Pancake holster, racking the slide on it and using it for other drills, in addition to what it's main purpose is. At the end of the weekend, I was one of 3, out of 20, that didn't have any holster issues. Others had their holsters crack, or weren't secure on their belts. Some had clips break under all the stress. I was able to load up and carry out of the range with the same gear I trained in all weekend long.While the holster is not custom, I think it exemplifies the quality of product that Tom produces, and that quality shows through in everything he does.Thank you, Tom, For all of your great work!!
