W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	I remember asking you about the hilt on this one Burnie; bronze as I recall. Wonder how many bronze hilts are out there? Edited by W Polidori (12/04/16 06:37 PM) _________________________ Warren

Burnie Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/22/07 Posts: 1387 Loc: United States	Yes Warren it is and Wally that is very true! However it's rarity leaves room for speculation. The original owner however told me he believes it to be original and he is very knowledgeable and that's good enough for me. _________________________ Burnie Austin RKS #5489

Wally Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/08/06 Posts: 2444	Oh yes, no doubt. I've bought several from him, if he says his duck can pull a truck, I'd go ahead and hook em up. Great knife! _________________________ Wally

Ronnie Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/13/11 Posts: 2255 Loc: NW Mississippi	Originally Posted By: Captain Chris Stanaback Not a "one-off" but: One of 5! This knife was made for Danny Cruz who worked for Maurice Johnson at the Casselberry shop. "Dusty" was Danny's nickname, given to him because he had to drive 10 miles of dirt road to get to work! While there were 5 made, this is the only one with black and white (pinned) ebony handle! The knife, which looks like a "Ulu" is really a leather-cutting knife. Danny made his own custom sheath for it. Hope ya'll like it. Stay sharp, Capt. Chris This handle has some wear to it. Indicating he cut lots of leather with that one. Cool knife. _________________________ Ronnie RKS#2166

Tom Vaught Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/26/10 Posts: 574 Loc: Michigan	Originally Posted By: tunefink Some great posts and pictures in this thread guys. Here is an "odd" one. This feller has some of the smallest sawteeth I have ever seen on a RMK. The very small teeth would suggest that the owner was a woodsman by nature and knew the value of small teeth on a knife to make very good Snare "Triggers". Tom V. Not sure why it cut off 1/2 of the picture. Edited by Tom Vaught (12/05/16 04:46 PM) _________________________ Tom Vaught RKS# 5100

(ETA) there's a horizontal scrollbar to see the rest of it Edited by Windsor (12/05/16 04:54 PM) Edit Reason: scrollbar _________________________ Rob
