Jim Schmidt

[Gus Kalanzis]

I heard a couple of min. ago (from Howard)that Jim passed away last Thursday. He will be missed by his customers and by more makers than I can count that he has helped along the way.

His page at artknife.com

If you are inclined please keep the Schmidt family in your thoughts and prayers.

Jim Was a great person as well as a knifemaker. His art and style were his own.
