Ron seemed to siappear off the face of the earth 9 or 10 years ago. He was getting established at that time and made a fairly decent knife. His name was not well known outside of So Cal. I hope that helps you answer your question.
About a year before he seemed to disappear, he put some of his knives on my table at Knife Expo in Pasadena, CA. He was talking then of going back to France. My daughter did his website and was equally surprised by his disappearance.
