Hi All,

We regret to inform you that Mr. AT Barr has passed over the weekend. A long time custom maker of great skill. His Collaboration with Spyderco is the "One Eyed Jack". A beautiful piece.

Our condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad indeed, and condolences to his family and friends.

Would love to see a tribute sprint run of the One Eyed Jack.

A.T. was definitely one of the good guys. I first met him at the 2001 SECKS and always made a point to stop at his table.

Sad news. I had always hoped for a more user friendly version of the 1 eyed jack. G-10 and BD1N would be a great user.

This is certainly a loss for our community. The One Eyed Jack my wife gave me for our anniversary is simply beautiful and I was hoping for more such collaborations.

May ATs next journeys be full of love and happiness, all the power to him and his family.
The one eyed Jack is a very charming knife.
