Blackie Collins passed

[sharpeknives]

Just received an E-mail from a friend in SC. He said Blackie Collins passed away about noon today from a massive heart attack while riding his motorcycle. He surely will be missed. Thoughts and prayers going out to his family. Seems so many of the legends have passed in the last few years.

That is indeed sad news. My thoughts will be with his loved ones.

First knifemaking book I bought (mid seventies) was by Blackie Collins and Gerber. He will
be missed. My prayers to his family.
Ken.

That's a shame, but that's not a bad way to go.

Rest in peace, Mr. Collins.
