Never talked with the man, but I encountered a few of his posts before joining Bladeforums. RIP and prayers to the family.
I am terribly sorry to learn this. I learned much from him and had several correspondence with him. His passing is very sad news to me. RIP Dr. StampI saw this announcement from Shawn, @DeadboxHero , on the Spyderco forum and am not sure if it has been announced here.
Love him or hate him, Cliff was a big part of the knife scene for many years, beginning, (for me at least), during the 90's.
We had many occasions while he was a member of these forums to converse as well as lock horns...he never made it easy on the mods. Water under the bridge.
That said, he gave a great deal to the knife community and the quest for knowledge about knives, their steels and their edges...whether one agreed with his take or his methods.
R.I.P., Cliff.
