We have lost a legend. RIP Harold "Kit" Carson

[Spark]

Kit was one of the first knifemakers I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He had me out to his house & shop back in the mid 90's and introduced me to the belt & disk grinders with a piece of steel that I turned into dust. He showed me how a mill works and various WIPs. He answered all of my stupid questions and then some, and invited me down to his home more times than I can recall.

Our world is missing a legend today. This is a loss for us all. RIP Kit. You were a good trooper, incredible knifemaker, and great man
