There've been a couple of auctions in the past couple of days that have made me laugh out loud, much to the consternation of my co-workers. These jumped out at me and I know relatively nothing about RMK.

Maybe never sharpened, but who uglied up the handle?

Can't find the other one but someone had something like "full fledged fighter" in their description but it looked a lot like a #6 carving knife to me.

Anyone else notice these? Am I wrong?

As soon as I saw the one from showtime I thought boy this really doesn't look good. When I see his name I just go on by.I don't know a lot about RMK but I do know a littel.

I saw this one too. First thing that came to me was: WTF? Not sharpened or used! How'd it get so dark looking? The handle looks just plane weird, even to my untrained eyes. I saw the one offered by ShowTime too, he's very creative in his listings, aint he?

I've had some pretty tuff roast beef in my time, however I do not think I would have to call a carving knife a fighter...

I've been looking for a "Fighting Steak Knife" maybe he has one to go with the "Fighting Carver."

Mebbe 4 years ago an early 50's carver came up with a double hilt (No sheath). It went for pretty big money. It was cool looking with such a long blade, but in practice I think it would have bent double if used as intended (?). I wish I had saved a photo.

Best,

Ron

Sidney, "Show-time" says this was guaranteed to be a fighter by someone way up in the RKS.

It wasn't me... Was it you?
