I doubt I would have gotten hooked on knives had it not been for Jim's guidance and knowledge.

I cannot recall the number of times Jim gave me the money to buy a prized knife from another dealer at a show after I had expended all my cash.

He once sent me a shoe box full of Robeson Barlow knives. I picked out what I wanted, sent back the rest and the money.

Jim was a pilot at Oakridge Nuclear Research Facility back in the day. Quit that to buy and sale knives full time.

He was a prince of a man.

Saw him at The Blade Show. He did not look well.
