I have never even seen one of those before despite living in Texas! With that being said, I have no pictures to add

Just got my pre-order reservation in. Comes in black smooth bone also.

How about armadillo shell?

All cowboy hats are traditional. Just some more than others. And to keep this traditionally knife orientated, I traded two elk handled, double hollow ground bowies for this one.

The ergonomics look outstanding.

I don't have any but here are a few figural knives from closed auctions. Made by A.W. Wadsworth, Germany

This knife would go with a nice Stetson

I've never even heard of such a thing. The first photo looked like a taco knife to me. Kind of made me hungry for tacos. It's a ridiculous design concept, but also kind of neat.

I don't know much about them but I suspect these hat shaped knives were primarily intended for marketing purposes. They probably weren't carried for normal use. Give them away to customers and the knives will end up in a drawer... forgotten until searching the drawer for something to cut open a package or envelope. Then the knife serves its purpose and the ad does its magic. Time to buy more hats!

I'd also like some tacos.

Wow, I'm actually shocked to see there is some history / precedent for these. Thought for sure they were just some silly RR gimmick.

I actually like those "armor hide bone" covers that RR does, if that's what you mean. Have a canoe in that style and it's got great texture and grip.

The original one was the lovechild of an armadillo and a German picklehaube owned by Otto von Bismarck. The armadillo had been kept alone for many years. It escaped during a visit to an East Prussian menagerie in 1892 and attacked Von Bismarcks helmet in a rage of passion. The resultant chimera was exhibited throughout the crowned heads of Europe until it passed away at the battle of Murmansk due to a chronic case of exhaustion after a lustful encounter with a landmine.
