Sorry everyone. A lot of stuff happening over the years. I plan to update this list as soon as I can find a few minutes.
it needs to be done for our community.

 

[Bobby Branton]

Ok, I think I have everyone in. Have not gotten any help with the website.
With the amount of makers on the list, it could take years to complete.
I’ll try to do a better job of keeping the list updated.

R.I.P. Trace. I've only had a few dealings with him in years past and he was a pleasure (and a laugh) to deal with.

Too many of our old friends are departing.

 

[Bobby Branton]

It is getting harder and harder to add these names. Losing way too many friends lately

Trace Rinaldi was a good dude. I finally met him a few years ago at the Blade show.

Wow this is such a great loss. I was traces neighbor in California. I remember going to his house and him showing me some of his first knives when started. I have been trying to get in touch with and ran across this post. Very sad he had a big heart good guy.
