I’m not familiar with him but I will study up on him. _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2144 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Thank you Michael. It was your suggestions that helped get the knife. As nice as the knife is, talking with Bill was just as rewarding as he was very informative and enlightening. It won’t be my last Ruple. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12869 Loc: Central Florida	I first met Bill Ruple around 1993 (or so) at The Knifemakers Guild Show, held at The Marriot World Center, just outside Disney World. A truly great guy and fabulous knifemaker! He has just been voted into The Blade Show Knifemakers ring of honor! (I think that's what it's called at this year's Blade Show! Goos Get Rod.
