Just passing this information along to anyone who has an HTM that may need work.

Mike controls HTM. If you need work done, you can try to contact him. There is no HTM website.
I posted a response to another post that was a year old. It appeared suspect, I suppose. So, after speaking with Darrel Ralph directly he has given the go-ahead to put some more info out.
Darrel has severed ties with HTM completely. The story, in a nutshell, is that Darrel was undermined. Darrel believes in customer service and getting the product right the first time. Others didn't care and were only out for money. Darrel hated it and has parted ways. He can not repair any HTM knives. He actually advises against looking at HTM. He has said that since the move back in 2012, all HTM's are junk.
Now, Darrel has purchased some more machinery and is forging ahead with the DDR line. Since DDR's are made directly under Darrel, he will stand behind all DDR products. There has been a serious purging since the split and customer service is as high a priority as getting the product done right before it's ever shipped.
Give the new Dominator a look and handle one if you get a chance. It represents what true custom knives should be about. It represents what all DDR is about.
