Is Claiborne Still Making Presses?

[Greg Covington]

Hey guys....long time no post.....

Been busy with my divorce a couple years ago, raising three kids...etc...you know how life goes.

I havent made a knife in quite some time and I am getting ready to move in the next month or so.

I'm keeping my grinders and the vast majority of my equipment but I won't have room for my Smurf Blue Ron Claiborne press. The thing is 100% with the squaring, cutoff, and standard dies, plus a set of edge bevel dies that I made myself.

Is Ron still making these? If so, how much is he asking these days. Mine's gonna have to go I am afraid.

Getting back on....gee I miss it here

Hey Mace!

Yeah...my reciprocating saw and shop porch still smells rotten...and there's a warrant out in Miami County for a 55 gal drum thief! HA!

Greg, I sent you an e-mail about it. I would be interested in talking to you and I am on the edge of Columbus. -Burton

Hi Greg,

Yup, Ron is still making presses. I saw him in April and he says he is still staying busy.

I think his now run around 37ish with a set of dies.
