Jerry Fisk is reporting that Bill Bagwell passed away yesterday. Sad news.

One of the greats.

There's nothing civil about this war.
One of the greats, absolutely.

So much yes!
I think I remember Rob Simonich posting on Bladeforums. Gunner grips. Stellite. Remember the furor of Darrel Ralph's Apogee. I still have copies of the SOF "Battle Blades" articles by Bill Bagwell. So much talent. My kingdom or an Onterio Bagwell Bowie, let alone a genuine article.
R.I.P.
pat
I have one of Darrel's anodized Apogees from back in the day, with Mike Norris stainless damascus. And I wear a neck knife he gifted me in 420v (S90V) daily. And of course, Simonich and I were great friends, and I own a few of his pieces, one he made for me while I was a guest at his home in Montana. I'd only met Bill Bagwell but never owned any of his work or got to know him personally. My loss.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I also am a Bagwell fan, RIP.
I have his book, had an Ontario Hell's Belle, and have an Ontario Gambler that I got in a bidding war on and way overpaid for, I think like $450 lol.
I always admired his craft, and his efforts for the blade community.
