Here's the description from Spyderco's website:

What is a Ronin? Translated literally it means "wave man". Rendered understandable to the western world, it's an ancient masterless Samurai warrior. In the knife world the Ronin is a fixed-blade neck knife designed by Michael Janich. Mike Janich took the design to custom knife maker Michael Snody who for several years made and sold a custom version. The Ronin is Spyderco's production version.

By virtue of its short blade length it is lawfully acceptable for carry most anywhere. The blade has a modified Wharncliffe-shape and is crafted of VG-10 stainless steel. Available PlainEdged, the cutting surface is flat-ground, honed thin and fiercely sharp. Made from an imposing 3mm thick slab of steel, the blade comes pressed between two pieces of slate-colored linen Micarta. Texturing along the spine provides a location to place the thumb and offers extra gripping ability when choking up on the blade. On the bottom side of the handle a yawning index finger choil situates the hand for quick retrieval and responsive control while cutting. Three dime-sized holes drilled out of the handle knock out a few grams of weight and provide indexing. Gripped in the hand, the stout little blade and curved handle feel rock solid, goading you to put it to hard-use. The Ronin is now accompanied by a Boltaron belt sheath - Sorry we are all sold out of neck sheaths and will only be producing the belt sheath. Please note the pictured sheath is the neck sheath - sorry for any inconvenience.

Discontinued Product - No Longer Available

Well, I have one for sale - mint condition - and it comes with the neck sheath. No box or paperwork. The blade is scalpel-sharp! For a defensive carry blade this is arguably the finest design available!

This knife is in absolutely mint condition. It is a tool steel blade with brass hilt, unique leather handle, brass crow's beak butt cap, and thong hole. I comes with a Model "A" leather sheath with sharpening stone.

This blade has only been fondled, it's never cut nor been carried. An excellent opportunity to acquire an iconic Randall Made Knife without the nearly 5-year wait!

Cost is $SPF, PayPal fees, Priority Mail shipping and insurance included. Questions and PayPal payment to larry44@gmail.com.
