Ralph/Simonich Talonite folder question...

[David1967]

Hello all,

I just got this knife from FrankDL (thank you Frank) and upon close inspection I found out that the Ralph logo is not only up side down but also mirrored. I wonder if all 15 knives have the logo the same way or if mine is the only one. Thanks.

Thank you all for your responses .. I exchanged some e-mails with Ralph and this knife is one of a kind

Otherwise known as the 2BK. (coined by Dexter) Mine has both stamps right-side up.

That exact knife (#9) was my very first custom knife and it's damn nice. Let me know if you'd ever like to sell it regardless of condition. Either way - as long as it's in a good home.

I checked mine (#2) and it's right side up. It's cool yours is unique. Mine's only claim to uniqueness is the Special Lint Texture, which checking the logo orientation made me realize had accumulated.

O.K., that settles it! I'm giving up alcohol! It looked fine to me at the time!!!!! I can't tell you how many times I looked at that knife, admired it, showed it off to other knifenuts, and never noticed that the logo was not only upside-down but also backwards!!!!
I must have been standing on my head in front of a mirror!

Oh well...good score David! My loss is your gain! Relish in its uniqueness and enjoy!

Take care,
knarF
