Willie Rigney

[TOMBSTONE]

I wasn't familiar with this maker when I picked this up.I found this for sale online and it's pretty sweet. Maroon micarta, 440 stainless steel, tapered Tang, nickel silver guard mirror polished
I don't know much about the maker or at what point in his career this was made
but it's a sweet piece.

Willie is highly regarded for his BOLD art daggers and fighters. His contemporary would have been Buster Warenski, and I am certain they shared a friendly appreciation and possible rivalry.

That he also produced well-made utility knives allows he was capable of it all.

That would return a better-than average sum in the future. Good for you.

Thanks Coop for the information. When I found it, I was looking for a chute type of style. I had been searching awhile when I found this and it just kinda floated my boat. The price was very reasonable, so I pulled the trigger. It's interesting the extra information. Thanks for the link. Those are incredible Art knives!
Thanks again
