I got my copy of this month’s Edge-u-Cation featuring the new Brouwer, and the sad news that Jerry Brouwer has Parkinson’s. Best to you, Jerry. I can relate and feel that you are a fighter.
I’m also wondering if we will see this knife released soon. It is the most interesting new one announced this year for me.

Brouwer on final?
Overheard at the end of the ice age, “We’ve been having such unnatural weather.”

I was sorry to read that news too. Will offer up some prayers on Jerry’s behalf.
I really like that little knife. It’s a good looking drop point. Hope it does well.

Re: Brouwer on final?
The news about jerry is just terrible.
I met him at the amsterdam meet a few years back. And he is a maker that enjoys every moment of making a knife. I hope he will have the best care and that he can continue his passion. His folder has always bin on my wishlist.
But a custom is not in my range.
Im very glad to see his design was pickt up bij spyderco now i can finaly get one for my own.

Re: Brouwer on final?
A week or so a go someone posted on FB that the Brouwer was available at some dealers in Europe. So I would expect they'll be available here soon.MichaelScott wrote: ↑Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:25 pmI’m also wondering if we will see this knife released soon.

I was also saddened to read that Mr. Brouwer's battling Parkinson's.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Prayers to him. Parkinson's is a horrible thing that some manage for a long time, and some for less.
Re: Brouwer on final?
I also met him at the Amsterdam meet, possibly the one you attended. His knife, along with the Ouroboros, was a highlight. He was very enthusiastic about knives, and I’m sorry to hear he’s been dealt this hand. I really hope he can keep working with knives as long as possible.apollo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:38 pmThe news about jerry is just terrible.
