Tim Zinser/RagtimeRed
The switchblade world lost one of the greats. Co-author of "Switchblades of Italy," Tim was an avid collector and a great guy. He was also an accomplished musician.
I believe Tim was a member here, though he had not posted in quite a while.

Re: Tim Zinser/RagtimeRed
Tim helped me much in my switchblade education. He also lived in N.C. and we went to local shows and enjoyed time together both at his home and Atlanta shows. He is greatly missed.

Re: Tim Zinser/RagtimeRed
So sad to read of this... I'm pretty sure he will hang in Maniago during afterlife, ensuring knifemakers do their work properly.
