Until you mentioned Kent Davis, I had never heard of him. I don't think anyone out of Orange County knows about him.
Eddie Cohen is internationally famous. His cues are huge in Asia and the reviews of his cues in amazing.
The only reason I've had the last thirty years to visit Vegas . . .
. . . was for Stones concerts. Now I have two reasons. 😀 The plan is to hit both on the same trip. 😄
I would say I am not a collector
I have not read about him or noted his cues while online shopping. The second edition of the Billiard Cue Bluebook is available on-line as a pdf. You might look for his name. If he's big then he should be in there. Jim Odom made it into the Third edition,...
Also, no Kent Davis . . .

I think Jerry Mcworter is better

I speculate not many cuemakers get $10K for a brand new cue
Except for Berry, TAD, Ginacue, Southwest,...Eddie is in that rare level that can get $10K for his brand new cues and he's turning away customers!
Oh I found someone who knows
Apparently Kent Davis is a criminal. There's more than a few guys ripped off by him. He's disconnected his telephone numbers. ...
Sad . . .
. . . but not unheard of with small outfits; sometimes they encounter circumstances they can't weather, others use funds from client A to finish product for client B. 😞
