Up for sale is an amazing piece from Bill Ruple...I purchased this from a dealer that received it straight from Mr. Ruple. I have carried the knife in a leather sheath (included) but have not used the blades to cut anything. There are some small carry marks on the bolsters (see pics) but the knife is in superb condition. Here is the description of the piece from the dealer:
"This very large two-blade Trapper was acquired directly from Bill Ruple. It features a clip point blade and a spey blade, both made from Chad Nichols "Starfire" Damascus. Both blades have half stops. Both blades have nicely sized nail nicks, each with a firm yet easy pull. The front bolster is 416 stainless steel, as are the pins and liners. The scales are black Carbon Fiber. There is an inlaid .45 ACP bullet shaped shield on one side. And a lanyard hole, for the pull of your choice. Both blades lock up tight with no play, and the blade seating of each is dead center in their respective liners. The fit and finish on Bill's knives are second to none. It is a big knife, weighing approximately 7.4 ounces. This one really "walks and talks" - and loud too! One of Bill's nicest!"
OAL: 9.25"
Blade/cutting length: 3.75"
Weight: 7.4 oz
PRICE: $SOLD
Not looking for any trades at this time.
