[R.C. Campbell]

Hello, I'm R.C. (Dick) Campbell, I started making knives in 1970, went full time in '73, was in the Guild for a few years until they moved the show to Atlanta I think, been full time ever since, have made over 2200 knives, also did gunsmithing and I make classical guitars, my main focus now, I'm 80 and have had several apprentices which I won't name but have done well! I still make a few knives, you can check me out on FB.

Thanks Opaul, I traveled around to the big shows back in the early days, have probably met some of your members, I'm on the cover of Knives81 to get an idea of how long I've been doing this.

Welcome, and do post a few photos of your work - guns, knives, and guitars. When I think how fast the last 10 yrs went and realizing the next 10 yrs will go even faster....... scary! I'm still a youngster at 72, but boy does time fly!
