E-mail Address For Howard Hitchmough??

I am trying to get hold of a Brit ex pat knife maker by the name of Howard Hitchmough who I believe now lives in the US. Does anybody have an email address or know if Howard has a website?

Regards,

Pete

Yes he now lives in New Hampshire, USA. Still producing world-class work!

Good luck,

Thanks!

Coop,

Thanks for the welcom and thanks for the info!

A member of a hunting club I am in here in the UK has a fixed blade knife by Howard and I was curious as to the steel he used. I have heard Howards name mentioned a few times in the Club and both he and his knives are thought of very highly......

Regards,

Pete

Any chance of getting a picture of that knife? Howard's work is outstanding.

Roger,

Not good odds I am affraid...I don't have a digital camera and I won't be seeing the guy again till I go down to Thetford in September...

The knife itself was a elegant but relatively plain/simple drop point hunter not at all like the knives on his website today..It was obviously designed as a functional bit of stalking kit and its owner thinks very highly of it..

Take a look at the site below for some of Howards current work..

Regards,

Pete
