Paul fox

A fine friend and one helluva knifemaker, Paul Fox was moved into Hospice by his family on 11-10-12 Cancer came back to visit and this time it's massive. Paul may have been one of the most creative knifemakers of all time. He was perhaps best known for his electric motor driven folder and a series of very fancy knives that were a lot like sculpture. He won the WW Cronk award at Knifemaker's Guild shows til they asked him to stop enterring and let someone else win. Paul is the only maker I know who experimented with his own YAG laser and a trailing wire EDM machine. The industry will miss Paul and so will his many friends throughout "knifedom". Paul and his wife Martha would appreciate our kind thoughts and prayers. May he have a peaceful journey May God's peace be with us all.

Amen, Prayers and thoughts sent in Paul's direction. Seems we have lost so many great makers in the last few years. It saddens me greatly.
