Bruce Crawley is one of Australia's great knifemakers. His work is characterised by immaculate fit & finish & clean lines and he is known as a gentleman & a fitting ambassador for Australian knifemaking in his travels to knife shows around the world. His knives was one of the reasons, inspiring me to make knives myself.
Unfortunately, in the short time I have known him, his health has been poor. His health has now taken a turn for the worst. Australian knifemakers are rallying around to help Bruce and his family in any way possible. We decided that the Australian Knifemaker's Guild would try to help Bruce sell his last 4 knives.
I apologise if this is not the right place to post this thread, but I would encourage anyone interested to check out the Maker's Sales section. All proceeds will go to Bruce and his family in this very difficult time. All correspondence should be directed to Peter DelRaso, State Representative, Australian Knifemakers Guild.
