RIP Jody Samson

[JD Mandrell]

Saw on another forum that swordmaker Jody Samson passed away on Dec. 25th.

Guy did some fantastic work.

This is a shock.
RIP, Jody.

His grinds are among the best that I have ever seen. For those that don't know his work, he was the one that designed and made the swords for the Conan movies.

RIP Jody

A very sad and great loss made more so considering his age and the opportunity for his future efforts.
