Creator : FOREWARD by Mark Zalesky Editor-Publisher of Knife Magazine, In dedicating much of his life to his passion, Dr. James Batson has earned a world wide reputation for his knowledge of bladesmithing and the bladesmiths of history, as well as his dedicatio to sharing that knowledge with others. His latest book calls attention to a bladesmith on the verge of being lost to history. Clyde Fischer belongs to a more recent time that that of James Bowie or the other historical blades that fascinate Jim Batson. Though Fischer left this world i 2002, and was dealt his share of challenges in life, he was a man who got the very most of of the years allotted to him. within these pages you'll find the story of how a boy from Victoria, Texas became a man among men. Clyde Fischer--bull rider, cattleman, hunter and guide, maker of gunstocks, fine hand forged knives and most anything else he set his mind to make. Clyde spoke with a slow Texan drawl, told woderful storied and oozed charisma fro every pore. Upon shaking his big bear paw of a hand, you felt as if you had a friend for life--and you did. In our world, those i the kow recognize Fischer as an early and influential maker belonginf to the golden era of handmade knives. His knives were mostly intended for the hard work Clyde expected of them, they weren't meant to have the most perfect mirror polish, or the most exotic materials (he preferred brass and native Texas mesquite woood). Still, over 50 years since he became a professional knifemaker, Clyde's knives remain as distinctive today as they were then. Though he first met Clyde Fischer at a 1974 gun show, it wasnt until six years ago that Dr. Batson's interest in Fischer's work rekindled, leading to a study of the man and his work and Batson's re-creation of 13 Fischer designs. The resul is in your hands, some history, some how-to, and some ideas to inspire you, just what we've come to expect from Jim Batson.
