Here are a couple of beauties by Mr. Bill Ruple. He makes them sharp too. The stockman bit me and drew a little blood just trying to take this picture.
If you have any more Ruple pictures, post'um if ya got'um.

Those are really nice. I especially like the filework and dovetailed scales/bolsters on that little jack.

Good scores!
 
You can't go wrong with Bill's knives. I am quite fond of them myself. Not to mention that he is a pretty good fella to boot.

Thomason, those are just beautiful. Well done.

If I have time tonight, I will try to take a couple of pics of the new Ruple that I got --my first one.

Very nice! Nice pics too! I have a couple of Bill's knives, and would like to post a pic. How do ya do it so well??
 
It's not my photo and it's not my knife, just something from my Wish List.

Thomason, you are a lucky man, even after getting bit. I'd give up quite a bit of blood for a Ruple.

waynorth, my picture taking is about like my freehand sharpening. Sometimes I can get it pretty good and sometimes I don't. There are a couple of threads floating around these forums somewhere where the really good photographers talk about how they do it. If you have the pictures, email them to me and I would be glad to post them for you.
 
Outstanding mckgreg. That amber bone saddlehorn kind of matches those two of mine so feel free to send it along my way:D
 
Rob,
Look what you've gone and done now! :thumbup:
Beautie's feller's! :thumbup: :D Doug.
 
Check this one out. waynorth sent me the pictures and I'm posting them for him, so I will let Charlie come along and tell you about it. Pretty unique Ruple.

Thanks Thomason, I'll figure this picture thing out yet!
So this is Bill's second punch, and second Harness Jack! I also have the first prototype, and will put up a pic later. Bill's a great guy to work with. He viewed doing the punch as a challenge, and did a great job! Harness Jacks are Quite rare, but that's for another thread!

Didn't I see that knife in Eugene?

You probably did! Bill delivered it to me in Eugene, and donated another similar one for the auction. I had a crude Harness Jack display there to fill up an empty table. Going this year?
