I was aware of his growing reputation as a knifemaker and several mutual friends/acquaintances had recommended I check his work out. Sadly, that is now no longer possible. One more good man lost. As the list grows I spend more time praying the end result will be worth the sacrifice. Time to get a couple of W-M's books. Another family stands bereft and despite some faux pax the Warrior Foundation does do good things. My .02 Peregrino
Great comments Peregrino.

My guess only is that of course John would probably continue the designs that his twin brother Robert was doing.

As some time goes by I'll be sure to keep up with what John is doing and post it here.
