I suggested paracord wrap to Al, and he encouraged me to experiment....he was pleased with the results. I use this knife in my home office.

One belongs to a friend

Ben -- you asked for photos of Al's work. Here is a Bowie that I have owned for quite a few years.

Should have purchased one of the knives of his I has yearned for over the years and just waited too long - his very unique Persian fighter.

He was good dude. I looked for him every year at Blade. I will miss him. RIP

My sincere condolences to Al's family.

what a loss to our field. He made a big impact. Sadly, I only know him by reputation. Never got the honor of his friendship.

Prayers for him and his family!

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but wanted to share a picture of the Pendray knife I have in my collection. I never knew Mr. Pendray, but have heard and read many good things about him. I know the knife I have is very impressive.

Another great name of the American cutlery, which goes away. We are sad ...
