Ruple and Rogers wait list / contact info?

[Big Dave]

Gents,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if Bill Ruple and Richard Rogers are accepting people on their wait lists? If so, any ideas of the time frame?

Lastly, what's the best ways to contact these makers? I tried emailing both without success. The number that I found for Bill was not working.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Richard Rogers = no.

Bill Ruple = yes, but don't worry about the wait. . . .it's worth it.

When I last chatted with Bill at Blade he indicated to me that he wasn't taking orders. (Which isn't to say that he won't take a hint for a particular knife that you might want him to bring to a show.)

I got the same response at Blade that Elliott did, neither would take orders. Richard and his wife told me they needed to devote more time to their ranch.

Thanks for filling me in.
