Mike Ruslander 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It's with great sadness that I post that I lost my best friend tonight. Ron Frazier, my mentor and friend passed away at 9:00 p.m. If you knew him and even if you didn't, his influence in the handmade knife world was monumental. I miss him.

Dave Stephens 414 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thank you for posting this. His work is very inspirational. I have admired many of his pieces over the years. I hope his passing was peaceful, and that he had his family and friends close. Godspeed Ron. --Dave Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Longmire 2,634 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I only met him once, back in 2006. Over that short weekend I came to realize he was a true kindred spirit as well as an incredible maker and generally nifty guy. I'm sorry to hear he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites
