Thank you for the comments guys. I'm impressed -- I plan on printing this thread out and storing it with the knife for reference.
Tune - thank you for dating the knife for me, I appreciate it. A grey stone was included within the pocket.
Ron - You have a wealth of knowledge, thank you sir for passing it along. Its fun to think back to where the knife may have traveled... and you provided some great insight.
Cap - I agree, they'd make a good looking duo.
I look forward to learning more about the RMK history -- not having time to do proper "research" while walking around a show makes for some fun negotiating and purchasing!
Have a good Sunday guys,
Jay
