Greco knives is closing down
« on: November 08, 2004, 11:09:06 AM »
Mr. Greco of Greco knives, which are excellent tactical and all around utility knives, is going out of business.  Mr Greco has been diagnosed with a medical condition, and as such will have to stop making his knives, or will lose use of his hands.  Much of his stock is on sale, so if you guys want to get any of them, now would be the time, and it would probably help out this guy who has contributed so many fine fighting blades to the knife fighting community.  I can't remember the link to get to his site, but you can get to it through a search engine.

Hey guys good news!  Mr Greco emailed me again and said the Dr's said that he would be able to go back into his workshop on a limited basis and make some knives.  He is very happy!

Jeff, I remember you having some of his knives!  I had one at my throat for pictures at the PAC 4 day seminar in Kansas City!

I wouldn't do that........    ;)

But I'm sure it would make a good picture....

John is back in the shop making knives and is doing great!  I talked with him on the phone as he is a good friend and I will be working for him soon.  I work on his website.  He is going to bring back the earlier tactical models.  He is running a sale right now so check his website out at http://www.grecoknives.com  The sale ends the end of this month.
