Darn. I lived in Richardson in the early-mid '60s and I never knew about him. I was a budding young knife enthusiast, but back then the only custom knifemaker I knew of was Randall. I still have the Randall #1 I ordered in '64 when I was a high school junior. If I'd known, I might have had a true custom knife from Stone. I was into Bowies back then and he made a lot of those. Missed opportunities. Ah, well.
