It is special and the only one in this configuration so far.
A 28 D blade with 20 B handle with ironwood inserts instead of Elk.

Many thanks, Peter, for being the first to post to the new "Ruana Knives" forum. You have some excellent Ruanas.

Although I love the Elk Stag handles, I think that I need to get at least one Ruana with the Desert Ironwood handles. They look nice, and I bet they feel nice, too.

I'd like one of these #19-B's in stag but they come with other handle materials, too.

Pap, those aren't mine but I'm lusting over the top one. That's a pic from the Ruana Shop.

A good place to find photos of Ruana knives that are not shown in their catalog or on their website is their Facebook page. See: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruana-Knife-Works-Inc/108507099177121

OK Tom, you're forgiven. Keep lusting.

Very glad to see this here. I hope we get enough people here who can actually appreciate something in a more raw form or function over beauty. Not that Ruana can't make works of art, but you have to custom order most of them. But they make a lot of non catalog knives and still the occasional one off. Sometimes small is good.
