I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE TULSA GUN AND KNIFE SHOW THERE WAS A BOOTH THERE WITH ALOT OF KNIFE SUPPLIES I BOUGHT SOME HANDLE MATERIAL FROM HIM HE LOOKED AT MY KNIVES AND SAID I SHOWED PROMISE TO BE A GOOD KNIFE MAKER AND THAT I SHOULD COME TO HIS HOUSE AND HE WOULD SHOW ME HOW TO GET ALOT BETTER ONLY THING IS HE LIVES IN WEST VIRGINA AND I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA.
 
He still wearing that top hat???

He's been around a loooong time in the knife world.
 
NO HE WASNT TODAY HE WAS REALY NICE ONE OF HIS STUDENTS SHOWED ME 2 KNIVES THAT HE MADE THEY WERE VERY COOL THE GARD AND ALL WAS MADE FROM THE SAME PEICE OF STEEL ONLY THE HANDLE MATERIAL WAS ATTACHED. IT WAS STAG SCALES
 
Yep RW is a real character and a good knife maker - here's his website if you want to learn more about him and see more of his work.
 
Lordy, lordy, I remember way, way back and R.W. At one time I sent my blades to him for heat treat. He was the guy that I bought all that rag micarta off of. I sure wish he had more :)
Stay in contact with him. He is most knowledgeable.
 
I bought some of his finishing oil for maple. Great stuff. I spent a half hour with him on the phone as he walked me through the best way to finish a handle. I enjoyed talking to him and he seems to know his stuff.
 
I was fortunate enough to get to stay with him a few days when I very first started. He is one of those guys that you could watch all day and never quit learning. he is a character and quite the cook too, I might add. His house itself is a museum. Not a single piece of trim around the doors or base boards are boring. All birds eye maple. I'm only 2hrs from him but have only got to go up a couple of times. I bought one of his grinders and use it every day.
