Does anyone here own or know of Clay Gault? He passed a few years ago, but he made some beautiful knives with African handles and sheaths. He wore an old beat up hat to the shows.
My dad has a number of his knives. I suppose the purpose of this thread is just to see if any of you have his artistry.

Jerry FiskI remember him well. I always meant to get one of his knives from him. He taught me to mortise tang my handles.
