Can ANYBODY find information on this knife maker?
L. R. Wilding from Pittsburgh PA.
Active around 1980 No clue as to date range.
I'll get a picture up in a little while
I've been coming up empty on my searches, only able to find images for 2 knives. Nothing else. No history, no story, notthing.
Not much help but from what I found Lynn R. Wilding made knifes from late 70's to early 80's, mostly from 440C, 154CM, and D2, a newspaper reports him as a former knife maker in 1986. He lived in Penn Hills, PA (an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh).
ITs still that much more than I had found. One of these days, you need to come visit and teach me your ways!
Some photos. With an overall of 17" and a blade a full 11 x 2 You can almost hear Crocodile Dundee just looking at it... Lets say it all together now....

"THATS a knife"
How does it shave?[emoji12]
As far as I can tell, it sporting its original edge, which is certainly NOT shave ready! But its probably perfect for trimming your toe nails... at the ankle :chop:
Did you try Bladeforums in the customs section?:DQuote:
