Anyone have information on W.R Hurt(JS)?  He did some work in the Moran style.

I could find no listing on the ABS site of a JS by that name.

Steve, I'm guessing you already did a google search. There are a number of pictures of his work, but while reading the replies to a "blade forum" post, I saw the last one which sounds as though he might have passed away.

Thanks guys, I could not find any official info on the ABS site either, I did search and found that he is from Frederick, MD, that;s it.

Thanks for your efforts!

Address and phone # above, but the last entry I saw on the blade forum said "rest in peace Brother", or words to that effect. He's not listed as a maker in the latest Knives 2014 book, which makes me think he has probably passed away.

Interesting knives and definitely in the Moran style.
