Second, I had a really great Ruana with Rudy's bullwhip signature that I have always regretted letting get away. I loved that Ruana but you say Rudy's knives don't hold a candle to Vics. Please elaborate. I can't imagine a knife much better than that old Ruana.

White's boots and Ruana's just seem to go together. You must live close to me, Idaho perhaps?

I am in Sheridan, Wyoming, and my name is Cal Pruett. There is nothing wrong with the old knives. I haven't seen but three in my life in person. The new ones out of Vic's shop are just more exact in fit and finish. I am sure he avails himself of some modern equipment that Rudy did not have.

Cal-

You don't slip down to Buffalo and eat a bite at Winchester's do ya??

Pap

I have, and I will, but to tell the truth, I prefer the Virginian, downtown. You want to buy my M stamp? OOps, that's probably against the rules.

It's called a PM-personal message, just click on my email address and send it to me.

Glad you came back Cal. For a minute there I thought Pappy had scared you away
