3.5" blades, maroon micarta. This stuff is cool, looks black in shadows and maroon or red in light. The pins are flush and seamless with the scales. Excellent fit and finish as expected from Ruple.

By less than a dollar at that...Well played sir.I'm excited to have this on the way to me. Snagged it on flea bay on Super Bowl Sunday when nobody was paying attention.

I'm thrilled with this $5 find. It's a whittler, nothing cracked or broken, great walk and talk, half stops on the secondary blades. My question is this- for some reason it has carnauba wax all over it. Can I boil the knife without fear of damaging anything? I'm worried about discoloring the blades. Is there a better way to clean hard wax off it it?





A Matt Bailey personal fixed blade with 1095 carbon blade and african blackwood handle. Beautiful slight hamon on the blade with gorgeous pocket sheath:thumbup:

Quite a bit lighter than some of those I have seen posted, but I like the contrast.
