Rob Criswell... Still Around?

[Infi-del]

Does anyone know if Rob Criswell is still making blades. I was thinking about tying to get one of his swords but haven't been able to find much other than pieces on the secondary market going for a lot more than what I remember them selling for new? Is this because he's outta the game and what is out there is all that will ever be? Just curious.

I have been a long-time collector and everyone that distributed for Rob Criswell said he is done. He had an injury that required him to slow down quite a bit a few years back. It seems that at this time there is no plan for him to begin making swords or knives again. I believe he has a fairly new bride and the marriage may have caused him to have a change of direction in life. That is very understandable.

Thanks bro. So does that mean that Criswells in general are gonna appreciate in value?

Well, there you have it! Can't get more accurate than straight from the man himself.

This is excellent news. I've admired your work for years.

Rob;
I am like a kid in a candy shop with the knife you sold me @ the OKCA. I have missed you as a lot of folks have hope to buy more. Thanks J.P.
