Re: Alvin Poston

[mhawg]

My dear friend Alvin Poston passed away this month. A disciple of George Herron Alvin made only knives he wanted to make. Alvin was a pilot for the South Carolina Wildlife & Marine Resources Department ( now SCDNR) where my mother was the radio operator, among other things. I received this knife some time in the late '70's and Alvin made me promise to use it and not just put it on the shelf. It got used on a 80 lb. doe, a 75 lb. wild sow and a few catfish. My mother, who passed away in January arranged for this knife as a birthday gift for me so it will always be cherished. I'll miss Alvin and of course my mother but what a fine memento this blade will be.

Sorry you lost your friend. One thing's for sure -- he could sure make a very nice and able knife. It's especially nice that you have one of his knives.
