I think Mr. Harold`s strikers may well achieve legendary status. By the way, that remark`s in no way intended to denigrate any of the other great striker craftsmen. Just a statement of opinion.

To me they are the best.  There are other good strikers out there but Mr. Harold was the top of the mountain for me.

I could not pick a single best striker as there are many excellent ones. I recently picked up a JLH heavy hickory and sucupira which are both as good as they come..

Have to wonder what an original Fowler will go for in 5 years or so. That`s IF you can ever find one for sale.

No clue. I have a small collection of them but my boys will be able to go through them and decide what they like before I do anything else with most of them.

I was lucky enough to pick up a tulipwood, snakewood and black locust at Unicoi. I always had intentions of calling Mr. Fowler and ordering some. I regret I never did. My son will get my 3 when I’m gone. I have to say I like the way the tulipwood runs on my slate.
