I saw a Goblin Folder made my Michael Lepore in an old "Knives '91 " book. It was a sharp looking piece and looked a lot like a Schmidt Goblin. The book had an address for Michael Lepore with a phone number (the phone number is no longer in service). By any chance do you have any contact info on him? I wasn't able to get any other phone numbers for him. I wanted to check to see if he was still making knives as I was interested in his Goblin Folder. I started collecting Goblin knives with the past 2 years and have 8 currently, including one Steve Schwarzer made for me this year. Any info would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail address is bullywooly22@yahoo.com . Thanks, Gary
