Good afternoon,

I am the grandson of the late Judy Koval and Mick Koval. They sadly passed back in 2005 and had a very successful knife company back in 80s into the early 2000s here in Columbus Ohio

I am reaching out to see if anyone has any leads on any of Mick Kovals knives? Or anything Koval Knives related!
 
There's some catalogs on ebay.

Arizona custom knives, just sold one in Dec.
 
I did a lot of shopping at Koval in the 90s, I loved wandering through the isles of the warehouse picking out parts and supplies. I still use a couple of knives I assembled from parts I bought from him. Used to just hang out and shop talk with Troy (if I remember correctly).
 
I may have a few Koval knives. Years ago I use to frequent gun&knife shows in Ohio. I became friends with John Gray who owned a shop. DJ Knives. Troy used to hang out in there and we became friends. I did a lot of knife dealing with Troy and I'm sure I may still have some of the knives. I'll even ask John. He's not in the knife business anymore but we still chat from time to time.

Yes, Troy was my uncle! He passed back in 2020! That is so great to hear, and browsing through the warehouse was one of my favorites as a kid

Is there anyway we can connect via phone? I would love to see if there is something we can figure out? What is the best way to contact you
