Included in this lot is a R.H. Ruana camp knife and custom leather sheath originating from the 1980's. Rudy Ruana began making custom knives in the 1930's. His business has been family owned from the beginning and is still in operation today in Bonner, Montana. Ruana knives are highly regarded and sought after by knife collectors and enthusiasts. The knife features a broad sweeping hardened steel blade and an aluminum handle with inset antler grips. The handle is stamped "R.H. Ruana Bonner Montana", a hallmark that was only used in 1983. As told by his grandson, Rudy, he got tired of people asking what the "M" stamp meant, so it was no longer used from 1983 on. In 1984, the hallmark was changed to "Ruana Bonner Montana", thus dropping the "R.H.". The knife comes with a custom leather sheath with a medallion stamp of a deer head with crossed knives and marked "Ruana" above. The knife shows good condition overall, with some light wear due to age and use. The knife measures 7 1/2" long, with the blade being 4" long.
