Neat looking knife. Great heirloom.

I helped induct him into the Bladesmith hall of fame. He deserved it. He was a hard worker and insisted that a knife cost no more than an a average man made in a days wages. You and your dad have a good un there.

"It's a neat old knife, and the Ruanas seem to have really appreciated in value." That is no lie - check this out same knife Sold for $5500 http://www.northernknives.com/rh_ruana_archive.html

Update on this post- went back and did some more cleanup of Dad's things- found this "Little Brother" to the big Ruana Bowie. Also found quite a few more neat old knives- including this Randall. Who knows what else will show up?

You need go talk to Pops and get the stories behind those old knives. I have a GW Stone skull knife that was as the story goes won in a poker game aboard the USS Pennsylvania during WWII.
I also have the sister knife to his Puma which is a Orthello Stag Hunter.

They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Wonderful family treasures, and as mentioned, you should get as much history on each of them as you possibly can, and get it all written down!!
