Anybody know what happened to Bud Nealy ?

[Lolaralph]

I have a few of his knives and was interested in getting a new sheath for one of them, when I try to find his website or call the listed phone number I get nothing. Does anyone have any idea what happened ?

He's not a young man. IIRC he's at least in his 70s

There was a thread in the GBU part of the forum. The general opinion was that his quality was slipping somewhat, and he seems to have retired a bit after that. He's around 80 years old or so.

Bud is one of the best! Hope all is well with him and his family.

Sorry for resurecting an old thread, but I was looking for his website, did a search, and found this thread.

I have a Bud Nealy Tanto knife which I did buy directly from his website years ago. Fabulous knife and design. I wish I bought a couple more before he retired.
