RIP Herman Williams. He sure stayed Schrade-focused and never deviated from that path. His "creations" are so very attractive.
I stopped reading these forums for a while and was unaware that he had passed until today. With the loss of Herman, and also Harold Buley, some major Schrade cutlery talent has been lost in the past year. I will sorely miss new electra225 listings on ebay! You never knew what he was going to list next but you knew it would be fantastic.
Just yesterday, I bought a 80th Anniversary knife bearing Herman's signature spade-design filework. He had skills, in spades!
