Hi Trenton,
His name is Lee Williams (maybe just a typo). Lee has a problem that many new makers do. He just doesn't make enough knives. I talked to him last summer and he said he was taking 6 months off to move to a new job.
Many of the makers out there who are considered "hot" produce so few knives that there are just a handfull of people who have seen their work.
So the knives either bring a high premium in the aftermarket and/or become impossible to get. This is when the collectors move on. I don't even know if Lee is making knives right now. Tough to be a "Hot" maker if your not producing knives.
I agree with you though, he could get very hot, I like the look of his new folders very much.
