Kent Draper

[yitz]

I recently bought a big, beautiful Kent Draper bowie (at the Dallas auction). I noticed that in the last Knives Annual he was no longer listed. Does anyone know if he's still around?

Hi Yitz, I believe he passed away.You might try asking Les or Larry. If I'm wrong I apologize to Mr Draper but I'm pretty sure I read about it.

Sorry to report that Kent Draper passed away a couple years ago. A fine craftsman he was as I'm sure you are aware from the bowie you have.

Thanks for the responses. I also spoke with J. Bruce Voyles who confirmed the information. Sad to hold in your hand work from someone who's no longer around.
