well I've know Ron for about 25 years, and have visited his home many times, so unless he has moved recently, and didn't tell me, your are mistaken. He lives in London, Arkansas, which is just above Russellville. Maybe I should call his cell tomorrow and find out if he lest the state!! LOL

Sir may be mistaken. That was about 20 years ago. And may not be same guy. Name looked familiar

No matter he is a master at what he does

I use everything from 154cm toolsteel to old lawn mower blades,..

I love to see other knifemakers,... again very good work there

Probably not because that sounds like my shop. Made my first ones with a grinder and flap wheel.

Ive pretty much stuck to sawblades so far, but Ive heard that some mower blades are decent steel, so I actually have a pile of them in the shop at work right now.

Thanks again for the compliments.

well I wasn't mistaken, Ron Newton in fact does live in Arkansas, London to be exact.....I actually talked to him on the phone yesterday, and knowing why he moved to Arkansas (to be close to family) he told me that he has every intention to live where he is at for the rest of his life.....in fact he bought a piece of properly on the mountain to build a summer home. My Ron is in fact a ABS Mastersmith, and has been featured in Blade Magazine many times.....

Here are a bunch of Ron's pieces:
