60th Anniversary Ruana. This is not my knife. I do have one, but my home-made images suck.

Ruana Makes a great Knife . There is one thing that I have notice thru the years of collecting is that the value of a Ruana doesn't matter if it's in mint condition or used they bring about the same money . Went to there shop in Bonner MT. about 10 years ago . They where still using the homemade machines that Rudy Built . Looks like an old 2 bay service station that they work out of . Very Nice people Vic & the 2 Sons .

Vic is now retired. Mark (shown in poor photo) and Mike do it all. I asked around the area and no one knew where the place was and some old-timers had never heard of them! I think the Hangas brothers are very comfortable with that. I did not give up and finally my GPS cracked the code when I used Missoula instead of Bonner. Mark was extremely cordial and likeable guy. The old man with bird legs outside the shop is me.
