Hello y'all.

Recently got these Ruana blades from my father-in-law...said his dad collected them back in the day. I don't know anything about these knives or Ruanas in general. Curious to see what folks think of them.

Thanks.

They all seem to be good ones and will get high collector prices. Congratulations on fine examples of R.H. (Rudy) Ruana made knives. Better pictures would help for sure. There are a few Ruana collectors here on this forum that may be interested before you go to ebay.

Ha, I just got a book on Ruana yesterday from a buddy. He has 1 and it's awesome. Some were made from Studebaker springs, way cool knives you got there!

Yeah, new to this forum and figuring out the picture thing is tricky. That said, intent is just to get smart on Ruanas by stealing other folk's knowledge of them...these aren't for sale. And if they were eBay would be the last place I'd go...

This is the Bowie...hope the picture quality is better this go 'round.

The other two are stamped with "R.H. Ruana.." I hear that is the stamp they/he used way back when...that is about all I know on these knives.

KRP,

You can resize the photo to 1024 x ... Pixels and it will make for a larger image. Difficult to see what you have there.

I don't know much about Ruana knives, but I do know they are collectible. Get some good pics up and I'm sure someone here will fill you in with the details about your knives.
