Is H K Parker still making knives?

[Durwood]

I was at a knife show in Springfield, MO over the weekend, and was told by a purveyor of Henry's knives that he has quit making...can anyone verify this? I know he wouldn't take an order a year or so ago...but a lot of makers won't do that.

Does anyone know?

Try e-mailing the folks at www.knifeart.com. I thought I remember them having a few Parkers a while back.

I haven't talked to him in a while but I think he is still makeing knives,

It is my understanding that he was in Tulsa this spring, but has quit making since then...he reportedly said if he made anymore knives it would be for gifts etc...not to sell. I've only bought one knife from him, but have bought a couple of his on the aftermarket. If he did quit, it would be a shame...he made some dang nice folders for the money.
