Ken, what an unselfish attitude. Thanks.

Nice looking knife Ken. Thanks for sharing.

To put the Ruana CB CK into perspective, it is roughly the size of a Randall #12-9", with a slightly thicker blade, and with Thumb Notches that could never be construed as Thumb Nadas (inside joke).

Ruana's web page that describes the CB CK is here: http://ruanaknives.com/bowies.aspx

Wow Ken, what a beauty. Great piece of elk stag as well. Very impressive blade and the sheath is super.

I'm new here and I really like looking at all the beautiful knives. I'm not sure about protocol but why is a Ruana knife discussion in the Randall Picture Gallery? Should there be a place for Ruana knives? I really like both Randall's and Ruana's.

Off Randall topic, but still on SHAG, here is a sweet stagger by Geno Denning. Shown with a small Seb for size comparison. The guy does very nice work for reasonable prices. I have a larger one with sheep horn.

Here are the better photos of my Ruana CB CK:

Then why is it in the Randall Forums and not the off topic forums?...and by the way, same goes for your chuddy bear sheaths... fine work, but not RMK products so why do you insistently post them in the RMK forums?

Seems to me there is alot of crap being said and insinuated around these forums lately that are just ridiculous!

If you don't like a member or two why do we have to run them and their great contributions right out of the forums so darn consistently?!?
