I'm not sure this is the right place, but I know several folks here had made videos with Gene Osborne of Center Cross Knives in Fort Worth. He died last night. I got a call from his son in law about 10 pm. (He was one of the folks always encouraging me to try and make knives) May Christ God have mercy on him and his.

Very sad news.

We'll keep Gene's family in our prayers.

This is sad news. Gene was a good guy and always willing to help. I first met him at the Central Texas show a number of years ago, really nice person. He will be missed. Rest in peace Gene and I will ring the anvil for you.

Sad news indeed. I met Gene years ago at the SOS Show in Mesquite and he impressed me as a very caring person.

All my best to his family.
