Anyone have information on W.R Hurt(JS)? He did some work in the Moran style.

I could find no listing on the ABS site of a JS by that name.

Steve, I'm guessing you already did a google search. There are a number of pictures of his work, but while reading the replies to a "blade forum" post, I saw the last one which sounds as though he might have passed away.

William R Hurt
9222 Oak Tree Cir
Frederick, MD 21701

MORE INFORMATION ON William R Hurt

(301) 898-7143 is a Land Line phone.

If you want to e-mail me so I can attach a doc to the reply, I'll send you what I saw.

Address and phone # above, but the last entry I saw on the blade forum said "rest in peace Brother", or words to that effect. He's not listed as a maker in the latest Knives 2014 book, which makes me think he has probably passed away.

Interesting knives and definitely in the Moran style.
