Duck was a gruff ole cooter but had a heart of gold. I have several of his knives and I will value them more now. I always felt his knives were a great value for the money and I always felt he was in the trade because he just slap loved building knives. He will be missed.

Just reading this, so sorry for the family, and will say a prayer. He introduced me to how capable and attractive small knives good be.
