When I saw the picture of Ray Covers knife with the Ivory Micarta and red liners it jogged a memory. In the Mid 80's I purchased a little slip from Paul. It was a small slip with elephant ivory scales and red liners. In a weak moment I sold the knife along with a fixed blade drop point also with ivory. I would love to see pictures of Paul's slips here if anyone has them. If Memory serves me right, the serial number on the slip was 212 and the fixed blade was 112.

I met Paul while doing a gunshow at Cervanties in downtown St Louis. while Paul may not remember me, he had somewhat of a influence on me as far as deciding to make knives. Paul's knives were clean for the 80's and on the smaller side which even then I seemed to take a shine to.

Anyways, I would love to see other examples of Paul's slips and you never know, maybe 212 will resurface!

Thanks! Hope to see more. I also have always liked Paul's mark. PM with a setting sun.

Ken, there's going to be a show next month that I'm betting Paul will be at. I'll see if I can get some pics of his latest offerings if he is there.

Paul made a friend of mine a lock back whittler several years ago that is still in his collection...Paul did this before the big names did it:D
 
Darwin,

Thanks , looking forward to seeing his current offerings and past work.

Hello Ken,

Paul was the one who inspired me to start making. I always admired his work. and he has some of the best designs. I'll have to take pics of ones I have of his.
