He was originally a sculptor and did unbelievable carved handles and castings for his fittings. He was well known for his kris blade daggers, and his bowies. He loved working in ivory, because it carves so well. I already had received a bunch of his unfinished blades and handle blanks to work on. I also am going to get the rest of his materials , and try to help out his widow.
