I recently purchased a custom folder. The maker mark on the knife is W S. I was told W S is or was a Texas knife maker but I can't find any info on that mark. Is there anyone on the forum who might know who the initials belong to. I have no idea if this maker is still making knives. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Custom knife maker question
Pictures would certainly help. Sometimes a mark alone is not enough, but certain makers have a style that is unique and easy to recognize.
Re: Custom knife maker question
I will try and get a picture posted later today. The knife in question is a copy of the Remington 1305.

Re: Custom knife maker question
Quite a few custom knife makers have copied that Remington LB. You could try contacting a Texas knife maker and ask them if they know of "W.S.". Jerry Halfrich & Phil Tham are both knife makers in Texas who might know.

Re: Custom knife maker question
I donot know who W.S. is but you could try the Texas Knife Makers Guild web site, I believe they have a contact email on there and begin by asking questions directed to them. good luck with your search. Also post a photo if you can that might help. Terryjljr1944 wrote:I recently purchased a custom folder. The maker mark on the knife is W S.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
