Never heard of him. Do you have a link, or a picture? Where did you hear of him? Why do you want to know? Inquiring minds want to know ;-)

W- welcome to the forums! I saw your earlier post and didn't reply because I had no information. I'd bet you had people digging up old issues of Knives Annual, Blade, KI, etc., hoping to help but couldn't come up with anything. If you find out anything, let us know. Good luck in your search!

No idea who that is, sorry. You are not getting responses simply because nobody seems to know anything about that maker, not because you are a new guy. If anybody had an answer for you, they would have responded. We are a compulsively helpful group of people.

Thanks Richard and Para, I am in the same boat.
Welcome Wilseya glad to have you aboard. The vast majority of us do not care how long you have been around and are always glad to see new folks joining us. Like Richard said, I am willing to bet more than one of us grabbed the books we have. Speaking for myself I could not find anything.
The reference materials that I use:
Forums.
TKCL Posts.
Knives Annuals back to '82 (If you walked into my house at any time you will see at least two or three of these on my desk with the 'puter.
Books - any knife book I can get my hands on.
Magazines (back to the early 8O's).
Large binder with makers/contacts cards.
Yearly expandable files with information sent to me or picked up at shows. (I think I started doing that in '88).
Word of mouth (and email) from friends (makers purveyors and collectors that I have gotten to know over the years).
ABS and Knifemakers Guild mailings and Member lists.
Shamless Plug. I hope all of us know that we can support the A.B.S. and Guild as collectors. Dues are very reasonable (around 20 a year) for an Associate Membership in the A.B.S. and/or Honarary Membership in the Knifemakers Guild.
Email me for information if you are interested. gusk@bellsouth.net

I know who that is now! The guy is named Dean Laner. He makes fixed blade knives, not sure about folders. I just got off the phone with him. He called me to put some of his knives on my site.
He lives in northern CA, seems to be a nice guy, has been making knives for about 10 years. Works with Micarta and G10 but also does exotic materials, oosic, Walrus, Whale, etc. Seems to me he also likes to use washers for some of his handles. Said he really liked the look of D' Holders knives.
I anticipate receiving a knife from him within the next week or so to test for him. I will post pictures and a review as soon as possible! Stay tuned!!
If you want to get a hold of him, his email is laner54knives@yahoo.com
