An old friend of thirty-five years passed away a little while ago. Redburn's daily attire at the gun shop always included a pre-war Colt National Match on his hip and a customized 975 Puma Trail Boss protruding from the pocket of his jeans.
While his son and I were going through his father's knives we found a new Trail Boss and a set of ivory slabs suitable for handle scales. Redburn used his Puma folder every day and he didn't baby it. It was clear that he intended to have a new Trail Boss customized and retire his old knife. Sadly Billie passed before he could have this done.
Redburn's son now wants to have the big folder customized as a remembrance of his dad. I'm looking for a knife maker that can install the ivory and perhaps do some filework on the spring. If anyone is interested in this project or knows someone who could help, please contact me at RBscrim@aol.com. Thanks!
