Roy has been moving around a lot over the past couple of years but I understand he may be back in a shop of his own. I've waited over two years for a replacement knife. Realy would like to speak with him.
 
Thats a long time.I bought one of Roys folders about 10 yrs.ago.It's one of my favorites.Check Knives Annual for his e-mail and address.I know theres 2 sides to every story but over 2 yrs.is too long.
 
I did get a call from him a few months ago to say he was setting up a new shop and still remembered me. I need a phone number. :)
 
this from Knives 2004

I spoke with him a couple of years ago after I got a Helton fixed blade which I don't believe he does anymore. Wish I had remembered that he was in SD as I would have contacted him when we were there in early Oct.

Guess I should just look up locations as we travel just to see if someone I know is there.
 
Yes Roy Helton is my father
he is back in san diego if you give me your name and number ill have him get in touch with you. my name is Bobby helton
 
nice to hear from you Bobby. Hope the OP will see this. anyway here is the knife I have that your Father made and to which I referred above.

it is a nice knife to use to demonstrate knife photography.

Hope all is well with Roy.
 
I'd love to see Roy back making knives. He made a few customs for me back in the '90s and they were very well done. hope it works out for you , Mike.

I spoke with him about ten years ago. We had a cup of coffee and he showed me some of his folders that he still had for sale. I wanted to see if he would rehandle a folder of his that I has just purchased. He said he would try but after a couple of months he returned it and said that his wife wasn’t happy about him working in the shop anymore. He was moving a bit slow back then and seemed somewhat unsteady. I hope that he is still okay.
