I wasn't really aware of the History with him, but looking into his designs it's obvious that his influence was Everything....
Wow, I wish I could see More.

Some third party sites, show some great pieces.....

I'm terribly Sorry for Everyone's loss.

His knives look like they were made for adventurous stories to be had.

Mike was an amazing man. He had a contagious laugh and his smile could light up the darkest room. It was my honor and privilege to know and work with Mike. The world is a lesser place without him.

Rest in peace my old friend. You will be missed.

For the short time I knew him, Mike always picked on me for being a "Squid". His stories of days-gone-by will forever be engraved in my mind. truly a one of a kind- just like so many of his creations, there was no mold, he was ground and shaped by the master's hands and it showed in his character. Fair Winds and Following Seas.
