Jon Graham, custom maker and knife designer, passed away late last week. Graham left an indelible mark on the knife community with his singular vision.

Graham was one of very few modern knife makers who can rightly claim to have created a truly new blade shape. His famous Razel takes characteristics from straight razors and chisels, blending them together to make something that looked deeply original, but worked as hard and as intuitively as traditional blade shapes.

 

I didn’t know him, and I am out of the office this week. I am sure Mark would have more to say from a first hand perspective. I will pass his thoughts along if/when I get them .

Reqiescat in Pace sir.
