Anyone here heard of Bryan Peele? I had a kind person give me a small hunting knife (fixed blade) made by a Bryan Peele whose maker stamp says “The Elk Rack” and Thompson Falls, MT. I couldn’t find anything on the maker when I checked a year or so ago but since hanging out here I realized someone might have heard of him or even own another of his knives. I appreciate any info folks could share.

I did a google search using his name, followed by the elk rack,
https://books.google.com/books?id=wS7UAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA306&lpg=PA306&dq=Bryan+Peele+the+elk+rack&source=bl&ots=rAGZ-wp77Z&sig=eguMMfJZXwlJw-_y7dnPEv1zr5M&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdipqK88jYAhWkSN8KHRVyCP8Q6AEITzAK#v=onepage&q=Bryan Peele the elk rack&f=false

here he was mentioned in the index as a custom grinder, I also found a couple old listing of a sold knife with some photos...nothing else.

Wow, welcome E ElkRack ! My condolences on the loss of your father.

What a treat to meet a relative of a knifemaker whose work I've been blessed to own. I'd like to correspond with you about the knife in the picture above, and about your late father. I'll post my contact information here and then remove it once we've connected.

Edited
