Patrick Grashorn passed last week

[eb07]

I did not see this posted anywhere. I am saddened. He was an artist.



I am glad to see they are going to keep the business going and wish them luck:


Grashorns Gunworks LLC - Patrick is dedicated to making the very finest Elk, Bone, and Horn grips available today, regardless of the price. These are grips that are handmade by shooters for shooters.

RIP Patrick. You will be missed.


My model 19 will honor your memory as long as I own it

Sad news. I’ll second my model 19 wearing my set in his memory.

Drat. May God be with all who miss him.

Was a friend for many years and many grips!

Sad to hear.
Glad I picked up a couple pair of his grips over the past couple years. A true artist.

RIP

Bad news indeed. I guess this is why the website was not accepting orders for the last several months. I had the pleasure speaking to him once. Good guy!

Rest in peace Patrick. You will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear this. Prayers for his family. I have several sets of his grips that I bought over the years. Transactions with him were flawless as were his grips.

This hurts my heart. I never met Patrick, but spoke with him on a few occasions. He was a true craftsman and gentleman! I wonder how many grips he created in his life? I feel sure there are many folks with his grips that will cherish them more than ever, and I am one of them. RIP Patrick and I pray for his family during this difficult time also. Here are some pictures of the last pair of his works of art I received from him about 7 months ago on my Heavy Duty.

Sad to hear indeed. I have a set on my M19-3, quality work. His work and memory will live on because of the people who own his creations. Seems we are losing a lot of craftsman lately.

Very sorry to learn this. I own a number of pairs of Patrick’s grips. Quality work. Here’s a pair of sheep horn, one of my favorites.

Sad news indeed. Prayers to family and friends alike. RIP Mr. Grasshorn you were a gentleman through and through.

I worked with Samantha about two years ago, she said she was helping out Patrick. No idea of their relationship.
She was helpful and delivered a pair of bone 1911 panels. Good to hear that she is keeping the business going.

I second ladder13’s post. I believe I worked with her too 7 months ago when I got my last pair. She seemed knowledgeable and easy to work with.
