I have ordered RMK from many dealers over the years. Each dealer has treated me first class.

Greg Gutcher and I have been friends for years and he agreed to fit me in, on one order, for 5 knives. It took me quite a while to get on the list to have all 5 knives on the one order.

All the knives are the same except the handle material. 6" SS blade, NSH, black and aluminum spacers, Customer supplied handle material and BPH. All the sheaths are black, no hone.

A special thanks to Greg for all he did for me on this order and for putting up with my changes and indecisions.

The wood from left to right. Flame Box Elder, Tineo, Thuya Burl, Black Ash Burl and Black and White Ebony. I had many choices of wood that Greg and I have collected over the years. It is VERY difficult to know what a piece of wood will look like once the shop finishes the knife. Personally, I like the Flame Box Elder the least and the Thuya the most. Greg like the Black and White Ebony the most. My wife, Denyse, likes that I won't be buying any more RMK for a while!!

Looking at the pictures, the blades look "messy". It is just I had not cleaned them and put Ren wax on them, before I took the pics.

Peter

I tried to get Ironwood and RMK said it was all spoken for by some guy who used to live in PA, but has moved to Utah. So I had to go with my second choices!!!
