Sad to hear. He was an extraordinary craftsman. I would guess that he has been an inspiration for many in the muzzleloading community.

He has passed on a lot of his knowledge through workshops at his place in Kentucky. Knife building, and building muzzleloaders. Very down to earth individual who lived simply.

Sorry to hear this. Ha was a great craftsman, and if I remember correctly a former Marine.

I have a number of friends that either own HH rifles or have attended his knife making seminars. He was a well known figure in the colonial reenactment community.
