Hans,
To be part of RMK...first to buy one of..!...and you did it..!
Second:...you need to study a little bit of the RMK's story.
Third: as a German Guy...first thing to learn is about when Bo Randall, already in back order at those time, asked some German(Solingen) maker to provide blades from your Country...
Yes ! RMK used blades from Solingen before and during WWII...( hope to be right)
Friends, here, more legitimate than me, can help you about this...
You must be proud about this Hans...
Here you'll learn a lot about your favorite knife..!
Good luck my Friend
