For sale is a mint Ray Cover Sub-hilt fighter. Includes sheath by Ray. Ray no longer makes a lot of fixed blades and no sub-hilts, this one is about 13 years old but is in as Good Condition as it was when placed in safe. The blade is ATS-34, measures 6 3/4'' from Guard, Overall length is 12 3/8'' .I paid 750 for it, but will sell it at 500 plus 3% PP fees no reductions to come.

Let me just say a few words that will add to the description of this knife. I was the original owner for the first 13 years that Jim refers to above. The entire time, it was kept in a safe, not stored in the sheath. The wood for the scales came from Jim Frey (Wild Woods) and was supplied by me to Ray - so there is nothing out there like this wood on any of Ray's knives. Ray made one of the nicest subhilts around. The only reason I sold it in the first place was that I and my brother made a large purchase from Ray 13 years before and put all the knives away - then took them out 13 years later and sold all of them. I kept one of each model, I loved them so much.

If there ever was a knife for sale at a bargain price, this is it. Two online dealers actually purchased the same knife from me, different Jim Frey wood, of course, also for $750 each, so that ought to tell you how good this knife is.

Thank You, I had just had a PM about the handle materials. I would not have been able to answer if you had not added the information.
I appreciate it.

Is the guard and sub-hilt Nickel Silver or Stainless? I've seen Ray use both on his sub-hilts. I know Ray still makes several fixed blades a year, but very few sub-hilts.

Please send Betzner a PM, as he knows the knife much better than I do. I am really not good on metals. It looks like Nickel Silver since the finish has such a mirror finish. But that is opinion, not fact.

The fittings are nickel silver. Ray has not made a subhilt in years. He told me that at Blade in 2007. He flatly said he couldn't make one anymore because he would have to charge so much for it. Bottom line - you will never find any that have been currently made by Ray.

I truly cannot believe this baby is still available.
