Unknown, I mean *UNKNOWN* maker Ed Burke visited me last week. He's from Bethlehem, Connecticut, USA.⁠
⁠
He brought me 19 knives. He's been building them for YEARS. Has NEVER sold one. He hasn't tried.⁠
⁠
Fixed blades, and MOSTLY ornate folders. It was incredible.⁠
⁠
Here are a pair of Japanese influenced knives. SO much work. ⁠
⁠
Long hair, older maker, still looked like a hippy. I LOVED meeting him! (We had motorcycles in common!)⁠
⁠
I will post more. He has NO instagram, in fact he has no cell phone. (He did have a home PC and email.)⁠
