Robert Papp?

Hi,

Who is Robert Papp? There's a nice knife of his on eBay, and I've got no idea who he is...

Bob is a good maker. I knew him in the 70's & 80's & this is a good example of his work. Very clean. He is still listed in Knives 2002 & lives in Ohio. Not sure how active he is any more in knives however. He was also a good friend of Jerry Rados.

I just met Bob at the Ohio Show this weekend. He has been out of the game for a few years but he is back to making knives, and man are they some fantastic knives. Clean doesn't come close to describing his craftsmanship and grinds. I shot some of the pieces he had at the show.

I met Bob this summer at a local fly fishing store and found out he lives about 20 minutes away. As someone stated earlier he, for personal reasons, was not making knives for a few years. He is now set up again and taking orders with very quick turn around time, as there is no backlog. His phone is 440-366-5868 , and his cell is 440-897-5491 . I was very particular about a small integral I wanted andhe's the kind of guy that will work with you until he gets it the way YOU want it.

does he have an email address?
