Benton Frisse Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hey everyone! This may be a random stab in the dark, but... Have any of you smiths or collectors who've been in the knife world for a few decades ever heard of a knife smith from Indiana named James Poag? He's my first cousin and evidently was quite a renowned knife smith. He's retired now. I've seen pictures of some of his knives (and held a couple) and they're gorgeous! I'll try to scrounge up a few pics and post them. There isn't a lot on the internet about him other than one of his knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 and see if he had tables at any of their shows//also conact the knfe suppiers for your end of the country and see if they sold him materials. AG Russel is a mail order catalog for makers selling knives world wide,,,contact them and see if they remember him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzyb63 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have a knife and fork set that was made as a gift for me. I just decided to look him up on google and your comments popped up. Sorry to read he passed in 2015. I would love to see others pictures. I will try to post mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
