Posted this in the Ranall model of the week thread, thought I'd post pictures here too. It's a 1-8 APFK with really beautiful polished stag w/finger grooves, nickle silver hilt, saw/no saw stainless blade, radiused duraluminum butt cap with thong hole and did I mention some beautiful polished stag. I believe it's a 7 option knife, I could be wrong and hopefully someone will correct me. I'm really intriqued over the saw/no saw grind compared to the standard grind on the #1's. You definately can tell the blade could get saw teeth. Since my pictures are so large and if I reduce them anymore they'll be distorted I'll just add in a separate post.
Thanks for looking,

Dan,

That's a pretty Model #1.

If the ST Grind with No ST is a chargeable option I would say you have 8 options there and if not 7 options.

1. SS Blade
2. ST No ST Grind ?????
3. NS Std Double Hilt
4. Metal and Fiber Spacers
5. Stage Handle
6. Finger Grooves
7. Duralumin Butt Cap
8. Thong Hole

Good Find!

Nice one Dan. Great looking piece of stag.

Am expecting this Dealer Special from Mr. Rick Bowles to be delivered on Monday. I'll be waiting by the mailbox.

Very nice Tom. Looks like a great piece of stag.

Steve, it's Stag that's dark enough for Tom "Dark Stag" DeHart. Actually, I think that the "D" in "Tom_D" stands for "Dark Stag."

Here's the other side, it's a keeper, too.

Pardon the quick snapshots (better photos, taken with better lighting, will be taken in a day or two), but I needed to share the excitement at receiving my Ruana CB CK that has a hand-picked (by me, at the Ruana factory) Elk Stag handle:

Very nice knife, Ken.

Thanks for taking the time to post on Your thread.
