T. R. White Custom Folder (any info?)

Post by lvaughn »

Hi again going through the knives again AAPK made me do it !!! lol Just kidding but I get in these forums and it gives me a knife "FEVER" dunno if you guys ever had that sickness Iam sure you all have though or you wouldn't be here at AAPK. anyway I dug this knife out I bought it not knowing the maker. Its not as fancy as alot of the custom knives I have seen here but all the same someone took alot of time to make it. My question is does anyone know anything about this knife maker? The markings on the knife are on the blade not in a tang stamp it reads: T.R. White Alvaton, KY . Its a single blade, bone handle, very very sharp, no half stops , and will flat cut a finger off if not careful closing it. Would make an excellent EDC. I have attached photos. Thanks
Leo

Hey Leo,
I did a map search on my computer for Alvaton, Ky. It is in Warren Co. southeast of Bowling Green. It looks like a wide spot in the road along highway 231(Scottsville Rd.) about 3-4 miles off I-65. Maybe this will help if you're wanting to locate the maker.

Thanks Phil it would have been nice if the maker was an AAPK member :P When I posted I was hoping someone would maybe know the maker or had seen his work before. Now that I know where it is exactly (thank you) I may go on and do a people search. If still living he would probably like to know where one of his knives made it :lol: anyway Thank you for that info, Iam going people searching.

Don't give up on someone here knowing about him.
Do you use whitepages.com? You can find a lot of folks that way.
