All About Pocket Knives

I think of Roland quite a lot, I wish I was closer to him - but I couldn't have been further away here in new Zealand.

I miss calling him and e-mailing.

I hope Roland is at peace and that new journeys are ahead of him.

oops double post sorry

Tom, what a great post about Roland! Lyle I too was told by Roland he had at the peak around 10 thousand Knives. Toms memories about his conversations and Roland's amazing etiquette of his need for the buyer to be extremely happy with the purchase, I too at times was told that he was selling knives ...

Thank you for posting this up justbob, I think of Roland constantly, I wonder how his family are doing- as Roland had a younger daughter, I also wonder how his little wee dog that he loved so much is doing as well! I get extremely sad thinking of the end, Roland having to say good bye to his wee dog...

Hi everyone, and to Tom a massive thank you for posting that update.

I really miss that guy, I enjoyed our conversations greatly, they go through my thoughts all the time!

I hope his children are coping ok!

Dan, Thank you matey for the update, and for being such a good friend to Roland. I too have had many dealings with Roland, I wished I was closer to him geographically, if so I would have visited often, but we talked over the phone quite a lot and e-mailed, and I did buy many of his knives. Roland- a...

Im real happy to read this Dale, a massive relief for you Alyson and the whole Family, Well Done Alyson

That is correct, I might be as guilty as everyone - quoting Roland's last name with the Proctor or Procter - with the English language I guess it may be easier to automatically go for the following E - I'm not too sure :( Roland's e-mail spelt his name as Procter Its so nice to see friends coming in...

I am going to miss Roland terribly.
I will miss our Phone chats and our emails.

Way too young to leave us Roland. I will miss you my friend.

I too have been wanting to post and ask the same question. I had my last Phone call with Roland and we said goodbye- so I "pushed it" and e-mailed him-soon after - it was just so hard to stop having contact with a friend.... So he replied twice as we communicated- but in his last he said t...

All the most positive thoughts for Tymbre, I hope that she can get to find a person in the Know who she can talk to.

I'm saddened to read this, I hope she comes through this!

Hi everyone As mentioned, it is nice to see Rolands Knife friends coming and saying such nice things about him. I'm a little weary of e-mailing Roland as last time I did - it must be a week or nearly a couple of weeks ago- then it was a toll for Roland to answer - so to burden him even more so is no...

Roland I consider a friend, and the only reason I am posting this is because Roland is looked upon very favourably here in AAPK, so because there isn't a lot of news about our friend about, I thought I would update - simply for your benefits, so you can think of Roland and send him positive thoughts...

This is very upsetting, Roland I consider a good friend and we e-mail each other often, shared many stories.

My day has just crashed down all around me, I'm absolutely gutted to hear this, emailing you now Roland hopefuly with some good news to follow.

Roland -well done my friend- glad to see you have won these - you must be smiling Ear to ear matey, and that makes me smile!

Yep ok Mike, understood!

Hi Mike

I will wait till you come back then I will pay - I hope I am understanding this correctly..

Well, my Birthday was on the 10th of March, what better present could one get than this- Awesome hearing from you Roland, will speak soon, I am over the moon that you are Home, take your time to get back on your feet my friend, if you can imagine the "Welcome Back Cotter" Theme .. :) ::tu:...

Hey everyone Roland left me his eldest daughters phone number who by now will have flown in from Switzerland to be there for Roland when he wakes. I have rung her number a couple of times - but haven’t heard anything yet, I will let it lie as I don’t want to pursue too strongly here and be a nuisanc...

Just a Bump in this Thread, Roland goes in for Surgery Monday Morning, I am sure that Roland goes into Hospital Sunday to get prepped up and ready for first thing Monday, ( your USA time ) Thinking of you Roland, fingers crossed, and looking forward to speaking to you in a very short time. ::tu:: ::...

I certainly wish that too Roland!

Thank you kind Sir for the privilege of purchasing some of your very nice Knives!

Roland, Until I received your e-mail I did not know this my friend. ::teary_eyes:: I am always taken back when I hear news of this kind. Like you say- if? this was an aggressive Cancer- you would not have written this original post of this Thread- so in saying that so far so good my friend - that's ...
