Yes, a good one. The parry strip is the bomb.

Don't see many Ruana stickers with a long blade and especially not in minty condition. Over the top. Great post.

Looks great. That elk is mellowing very nicely.

Thanks Steven. Mellowing is a great description. I never read it myself, but I heard that Mr. Ruana stated in his catalog that the "Sticker" model was a Serviceman's favorite emergency weapon.

When I was in the Army I saw a few Ruana bowies, can't recall any stickers, but I'm sure they were there. Eric yours is very nice.

Sorry don't know a thing about Ruana's. Could someone tell me what the M stands for just ahead of the name?
