Knife Designer Elijah Isham has passed away
on: May 07, 2022, 09:55:45 AM
I am sorry to read from IG that a young knife designer Elijah Isham has passed away on Wednesday.  His design might be avant-garde and may not for everyone, but I for one am grateful to have gotten a WE Arrakis few years back.  His design is always a conversational piece amongst friends, and it is sad to see the industry has lost a talent like him.  RIP.

I was watching how youtube reviewers complaining about how knife designs could be bland the other day, and did think of him in contrast.  When I saw Liong Mah's IG photo of him today, I had to double check to believe it.  I don't know what lead up to this, but it is always sad to see youngster gone so early.

Cool knife.  RIP.  I like when designers push boundaries and create waves in the industry they are in.  Good for him.
