Skylands Cutlery Closed?

[Rugger]

Was just looking for them online- their website isn't there anymore. He was my go-to guy for production stuff when I was living in NYC. I know Greg had some health issues a while back- Hope he's OK. Anybody know if he's still in business?
Thanks-
Mike

Hey Mike. I last chatted with Greg at the Feb/ March NYC show at the Crowne Plaza. He had a table and was doing mostly trades for his own personal collection. He didn' t have his usual haul of production blades (before his health issues and moving down to the Carolinas- Hilton Head?). I think that was an indication that he was on his way out of the knife dealer business. He looked in fairly good shape though. See you in NYC soon, someday.

Greg is living comfortably in North Carolina. He retired from the knife business. I don't know about any health issues. Greg was one of the first dealers I ever bought from and until he closed up shop they only one I dealt with regularly.

Hey Kin & Ken-
Thanks for the info- I hope Greg's doing well & living the Life of Reilly.
He's a great guy & I wish him well- he always treated me very well.
Hope to catch you back up in NYC soon- Maybe the November show.
Cheers,
Mike
