It is with great sadness that I post that my good friend and mentor Grady McCotter has passed. He was an armrorer for the Marine Corps building rifles and pistols for shooting teams and active duty snipers. He was an artist at restoring old Randalls and their sheaths . He was an avid Randall collector and one of a kind at restoration of sheaths and blades. He was also a very good friend to me teaching me many things about how he perfected his leather restoration process (RKCC #2 article). It is hard to put in writing his talents and my mind is foggy now but RKCC has lost a very good member.
