I'm doing some research into opening a wood carving store and am having trouble finding a few of the more popular knife makers. They would be: Diobsud Forge, Helvie Knives, Dave Lyons' Knives, John Dunkle Knives. Any contact info for these makers would be greatly appreciated. If you feel more comfortable you can contact me personally at: jonharl@comcast.net

Jon,
Some can be found in the March edition of ChipChats, others advertise in the carving magazines.

What you will often find is that they do not want to be found; as strange as that sounds. They sometimes even ask the retailers not to give out their contact information.

You chould do a search on Google using the individual maker's name.

Thanks Rick. I'll keep looking.

On a side note. I noticed in the new Carving Magazine that Rich Notto has passed away. I never met the man or had one of his knives but it is always a sad day whan one of the few passes away. My condolences to the Notto family.
