For all of us relative 'newbies' on the scene, please don't leave us hanging. Inquiring minds want to know.

What's the deal with "the stolen BLADE knives from the "raspy voice" dude a few years back"? Can we get at least a capsule summary of the situation?

Is the pictured knife a genuine RMK shop-made knife? Is it a fake? Is it an altered shop-made knife? How it is identified as one of "the stolen BLADE knives from the raspy voice dude"? What model is it (or what model is it supposed to be)? To my relatively inexperienced eye, it looks more like a scaled-down Model 26 than anything else.

Thanks.

Bob
