May he rest with the LORD, met him 3 times, each time I would talk his ear off. He would generally let me play with the pocket knives he had on hand. I remember a warren-cliff stag with threaded bolsters. I alway wished he would just say, go ahead take it lol ::facepalm::

A loss for the knife community. He was a pioneer in many respects. RIP.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Oh, that is sad.

Met him two or three times. Nice man and a very skilled artist.

The Lord must have needed a cutler and He went for one of the very best. Tony will be dearly missed by the entire knife community; Godspeed to his family across the globe.

I had never met the man but have been a big admirer of his work. I had also never heard of Wilfred, Indiana but now plan on taking a day trip there this summer. RIP to a legend.

I don't know how many of you caught this, but southern Indiana was ravaged with storms last night. According to his obit Tony lived in Shelburn but was born in Sullivan. They are very close together. The town of Sullivan was leveled last night. In his obit it was mentioned his son was going to carry on the knife making tradition. I assume they had a workshop in this general area? I wonder if anyone on here has any contact with the remaining family and can give us an update on things.

Reese posted a video on Facebook of some damage nearby but said it missed them.
