R.I.P. Gary Blanchard-engraver knifemaker

[RA40]

Met Gary and Pam in the later 90's. He'd retired from the knife scene some years back. We learned a few days back that Gary had passed on. This is one I'd photographed in '01.

Thanks to Gary and Pam for the great knife show memories and fun times hanging out!

Remarkable talent.

Was getting some photo practice in and did this one of Gary's that he made for the Las Vegas Guild Show in '98.

We are diminished.

The Calif Custom Knife Show was this past weekend and the OG makers become less and less. Expected though sad that the talent is gone and we miss those faces at shows. Hard to believe how fast the years rack up.
