I thought a stamped S on the blade means SS , is that not correct. Maybe I'm seeing something else, the only picture I have is not very clear. I have asked the owner to confirm. Regardless, I thank you for your help . M

I don't see an S

An S at the end of the Trademark Stamp does indicate Stainless Steel but the photo is not clear enough to see that and I have tied all my Photoshop Editing Tools but still can't tell. I would insist on a better photo as well as a photo of the back of the sheath and stone from the pouch as recommended by Tunefink.

Got it fellows. No S . Cool knife but nothing special. Thanks for the input. If I decide to snag it , I'll put some good photos up. Thanks again. M.

Only becomes “special “ AFTER you buy it, and take it to the mountains, the woods , the streams, rivers, islands, kayaking, hunting/fishing/packing with your best friend; hiking/camping…music and surf fishing…..with your wife….& all with your son/daughter.
Man……NOW it begins to become “special.”
Where did you say that you could pick up this deal?

Verbally made the deal. Should have it in my hands later in the week. Duke , not to far from you !

I think it’s a great looking knife. Sometimes knives with fewer options are special because they have simple, classic styling.

So I received the 12-8. Wow ! That's a serious knife !

Sheath

I love your reaction. YES! It is a damn serious knife and IMO one of the most attractive of all the RMK models. I have a couple myself.
That is a good find. Enjoy
