Has anyone heard from Philip Dobson lately?

I sent a few knives to him last year, and he sent me a progress pic shortly after but haven't heard from him in about 3 months. Tried contacting via phone using the number on his website, and thru emails. No response.

Kinda typical of that maker.

I know he goes away a lot, but the last time we corresponded was shortly after the new year, and nothing since.

Well, still no response via the different channels and means that I've tried...I think my knives are gone.

Got a text from Phillip! Knives are being shipped out soon, can't wait.

That's good to hear, be sure to post some pics of the knives when they come in.

Well, after that text...nothing. I give up.

Sorry to hear that.

Forgot to update this thread! I did get my knives back from Philip, and lack of communication aside, he did some amazing work.

This started out as a Kershaw Rake before I re-shaped the blade. Phillip really killed it with the regrind and the swedge.

I asked him to make me some new scales for my Kershaw Needs Work, and he chose to contour white G10 that came out amazing. Speedsafe still works too.

And lastly, he also made me some wooden scales for my Spyderco PPT. He chose English Walnut.
