W.C. Pass

[Justin Pass]

New here not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I am looking for photos of my grandfather's knives and if anyone has his sword that my dad drew the template for I would like a picture of that. All his knives are stamped PASS I currently have that punch I also have what he called his recipes on index cards and if anyone really knew him, it was my dad who made the majority of sheaths and Wilton didn't make many sheaths for his knives. All pictures would be highly appreciated and information from people still alive who knew him would be appreciated. One more thing, he made a trench style knife with studs on it I've never seen a picture of it and would like to see it.

I have seen those but I wanna find current owners as well. His work was beautiful and want to catalog every knife of his out there. His have turned out to be the hardest to track down. I remember when I was maybe 4 or 5 I went to a show in my hometown Orlando, FL and everyone knew my dad because of his father. It has been my mission to track down all his work since then to do a photo catalog. I just now have the means and time to do so.

You might try the Randall forums too -

Your grandfather is remembered by a lot of older Randall collectors for both his time there and his career after. They might be able to help. Also maybe try asking knifemaker Jerry Fisk @fisk , as he was a fan of your grandfather's work.

I have a Loveless Style Hunter from him. Blade is prob 3inches and has very nice stag handles with a red liner. Came with a very nice leather sheath as well. Have been looking for information about your granddad after picking up this knife about 3 or 4 years ago in Virginia. Really a wonderful knife. Will drop some photos in this thread.
