Note from the consigner:
I bought several knives directly from Art Wiman, and like many other makers he did not always brand his blades, especially in the early years. After the formation of the Kiifemakers Guild in 1970 of which Art was an early member he started branding his blades in script. So did one of his students, Jimmy Lile. I do not know the exact year Art started branding his knives with a stamp. However, he often did not stamp his blades even then. He also frequently double stamped his blades and in fact you have listed a folder of mine by Art that was double stamped. I traveled across Arkansas many times and very often stopping by to buy a knife from him. I have some of his knives that were made in the early 70s.
