Hock Tools selling to Lee Valley

Don’t know if most of you have heard about it, but Ron Hock sent out an email yesterday saying they’re selling the business to Lee Valley (the deal will close this spring). Ron says he’ll be in the Lee Valley booth at Handworks this fall (which apparently confirms that Handworks will be happening this fall).

Anyway, I don’t expect a ton to change, but I’ll miss being able to call Ron and ask weird questions about edge tools. In exchange, I’ll be more likely to get free shipping on stuff I used to have to pay to have Ron ship me.
