Hi All -

My name is Will Ratelle, my father was Bill! Unfortunately, my dad passed away in March of 2011 at the age of 72. It’s been a great honor to see the inquiries posted on here in regards to my dad. I currently have quite a few of my dads knives that he had made as his hobby. If any of you that own some of these knives, would be willing to part with them it would mean a lot to my sons and I to get a few of them back. Please pm me or email me.

Also, if anyone would like to know more info on my dads knife making or history of it, please let me know.

Thanks again everyone for the interest and taking me back to those days!
