    Judy Ahrends passing

    Thank you to everyone who reached out at this time. Judy worked into January because she loved the job and the people. It's been a 6 year battle. She's in a happier place now. Judy showed so many people not only how to live but to die with dignity. She will be missed.

    Kim Ahrends does it again!

    We've got Retro-Bananas, square butt Boots, a new Boot without finger grooves. I'd love to put medallions in but without Smith's license it's not worth a possible legal hassle. If you want to see Ahrends Grips with medallions tell Smith. Our current cocobolo supply is has much more orange...
