Important Info! Deceased makers

My longtime friend, excellent Knifemaker and all around Wild Man, Trace Rinaldi passed yesterday…God Bless and God Speed, may you Rest In Eternal Peace and Love :(
Very sorry to see this, Trace Rinaldi couldn't have been all that old either. RIP.
 
Terry Treutel of TAT Knives passed away 8/11/2020.
Heck of a knife maker, real nice fella, and lived quite a grand life.
I'm lucky enough to have 3 of his knives.

 
John Cohea? Ohhhhh..... 😪

We have worked together on his projects for charity for MANY years.

Such a unique and satisfying style, and his MIssissippi friendliness was so infectious.
 
Darrel Ralph passed away on 11/20/ 2021
Just seeing this, and so distressing to hear. Darrel was just the nicest guy, not to mention an outstanding knifemaker.
To this day, I love carrying the collaboration he did with Johnny Stout for the TKC-l back in the early 2000's. RIP .
 
Jon Graham, all around great guy and longtime friend passed today after an epic battle with cancer…God Bless and may he Rest In Eternal Peace and Love :(

TKC -- that takes me back a few years particularly thinking about the live videos that Johnny would do plus some of the folks there we were able to chat with over the years -- long long ago eh.

It was with great sadness that I learned a tremendous Maker passed in 2020 and way too young….Scott Shoemaker, a protégé of my friend John Salley. :(
