I'll drink to that.

I just posted these "quickie snapshots" to the SHAG thread, but I figure that they belong here, too, given that I photographed the raw blade and handle materials in July:











Better photos will follow later this weekend.

That is one of my favorite Ruanas...and (please don't take this the wrong way) it doesn't look like a Ruana. By that I mean it doesn't have their traditional castings of hilt and butt, etc. SWEET!!! Thanks for posting it here also. It is, after all,a "blade" as in Blades, Bullets & Bows...

Cap, you wrote:Actually, that is probably why the CB CK appealed to me. It is the most Randall-like Ruana knife, with a spacer configuration reminiscent of the Randall #27, though with thick Black Micarta spacers in lieu of Maroon Micarta ones.

I also liked the single hilt.

I like that "mostly" black no-hone sheath, too. Very classy rig.

I paid $20 extra for the sheath to be (mostly) black, but the no-hone aspect was standard.

That's a damn fine looking knife!

Great looking Ruana. I am very jealous.
