What happened to Hess Knifeworks?

Update: I believe the party is over. I can't find any contact info, and the last website said they were retooling a couple of years ago.

It's too bad, they made beautiful knives.
Not a couple years ago- about a year ago they started “building inventory” to offer on the website. It’s been more recent that that for the updated post, because I check almost weekly. I could be wrong, but I would rather assume that they are delayed in building stock than the alternative. They make a great knife. You could always email the site, the man who coordinates the different companies is real nice, he contacted Hess directly on my behalf when I last ordered from them!

I would rather assume that too, but I emailed the UP Authentic site months ago, and they never answered me. I emailed them again today. They make beautiful knives, and I would like to do business with them. The contact number given above has been changed, but is unknown.
