Rob Criswell Katana?

Ran across a Rob Criswell Katana. Was wanting to know if he was still making swords and if anyone had contact information for him? Will post pics later.

The last I heard, unfortunately, he'd had some kind of injury while making blades and no longer makes knives or swords. I think there is a web page or two mentioning it if you search. It's a dangerous and hazardous profession. It's too bad because he made really nice Japanese swords in his own signature style. I've got a nice wakizashi by him, with a 19 1/2 inch blade. It's certainly one of my favorites.

Okay, I found the webpage talking about Rob Criswell's injury. It was right here on this forum. http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/what-happened-to-rob-criswell.352917/ Carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive stress injuries are the worst. Sometimes they never heal and they can be totally disabling. I don't know what his current condition is. Hope he made a good recovery. I said a prayer for him right now.
