My only Easler

Russ was a great guy, always looked forward to talking to him when he came to the NYC shows.

To add to SC native makers, Easter has a similar style to Herron/Denning/Hendrix, have 3 of his… notice similarities in 3 makers (Easler not pictured yet)
L to R: Denning x2 Herron x2, Hendrix x2 plus Damascus collaboration with Herron/Hendrix

Oh wow, I like that A Lot! What an awesome piece- cool you were able to meet his acquaintance, heard many moons ago he was Solid guy, and hard worker, which shows in his works imo. Good stuff

For the record that sheath is one of my own.
Russ signed the sheath that came with the knife and it looks very much like the one shown previously.

I talked to Geno on the phone recently. He was in a bad motorcycle accident a few years ago that did a number on him but he's getting along. Says he can barely hold a screwdriver these days and ended up selling his knifemaking equipment.

He made great knives at a very reasonable price and his polish was as good as any I have seen.
