Rest In Peace Chris. You gave me a historically accurate knife 11 years ago and Ill never forget the kindness. I’m happy an Indie Alaska was made about one of the best parts about you. It will now live on as a tribute to your beautiful soul and talent. Everyone in the historical re-enactment community will miss you.
Shiri, what happened? I bought one of his blades and a fork/spoon set from him YEARS ago when I was visiting relatives up in Anchorage. I remember talking with about his technique and he was so nice and loved to take about his craft. I just found him again only to find out he's no longer with us.

RIP Chris Cushman. You may have been the greatest blacksmith AK will ever see.
Beautiful comment and memory. Thank you for sharing.
Chris, I barely knew you, but we knew many of the same people and I've seen your work and your influence countless times at the 3 Barons Fair. I wish we could have had more time. Rest in peace, Sir.
Sure do miss you. Will raise a glass of Galway Pipe in your memory tonight.
