August 6, 20169 yr Hey guys a friend found this knife and is looking for the maker. Ironically enough that name is J. Hyde as my name is James Hyde.
August 6, 20169 yr That would probably be Jimmy Hyde from Ellenwood, Ga. a suburb just outside Atlanta. Jimmy died early this year. He was a near and dear friend. He was active in the Alex Bealer Blacksmith Association, OBG, Alabama Forge Council and always attended and sometimes demonstrated at Bowie Claiborne's Hammer-in in Knoxville.
August 7, 20169 yr Not picking nits, but...the name is coincidental, not ironic. Irony will have a humorous twist to it, like a rusty sign advertising a rust preventing paint. Does your friend have plans to finish it?

Or that fact that most people today use "Ironic" to describe something that isn't?
