Anybody know anything about Stephen Osbourne, or his business, or buy anything from him? I've been trying to make a purchase, so far no response from him. The web page seems to be up to date with new products added a couple weeks ago but there is a discussion on another forum that indicates that Osbourne closed North River Forge and stopped making knives in 2022. Just wondering if he is still actually in business and making knives.
 
Not sure if still in it, but I do see some new stuff occasionally, I think he is Canadian, I bought a Kephart and a camp knife from him awhile ago and they are nice but need sharpening. First pic it is the middle knife marked NR., second pic Is the camp knife far right.

He just posted a knife July 13 this year.



His shop is in the same province as mine.
Yeah, his site says Eastern Ontario.
I am trying to buy something off his page, its been almost a week with no response to repeated inquiries as to if he even received the order. The total lack of response is a bit disconcerting given that my bank tells me he charged me 4 days ago......

Maybe on vacation? Hope you hear from him soon.
