I picked up a really nice and simple kiridashi by Jim Haynes ("Haynesmade" is his stamp) the other day and I've been trying to get some contact info to talk to him about it.

He doesn't seem to have any net presence at all. I can't even find a phone number! I think he's in Missouri.

Anyone know how to get a hold of him?

Thanks,

I took a look at a couple of Knives annuals and did not see him listed.
Hopefully one of the folks in here can help out.
 
This is the last contact info that I had.....

Jim Haynes
Independence, MO.
816-478-1497

He's still in the KC area, I saw him here in Topeka a couple of gunshows ago.
 
Haynes here- call anytime after June 5th- Iassume you got the Kiri from Abernathy based on the description. It should be makred "HAYNESMADE 1*"
 
Jim,

Great to see you here!

I got it from Todd on the other forum, actually. Yep, stamped Haynesmade 1*.

I love it. Took the main edge bevel down so it's almost the same angle as the main grind and it slices paper with its own weight. Pretty impressive stuff.

I will talk to you soon.

Thank you!
