R.H. Ruana...paid $100 bucks

Post by MountainMan »

I paid $100 bucks for this "S" stamped knife at an estate sale and just found out it was made between 1956 and 1958(http://rhruana.com/Facts/KnifeStamps/ta ... fault.aspx). I think I undervalued the knife. Since Mr. Ruana probably hand-forged this knife himself, I'm thinking the value could shoot well over $1000.

I don't want to be wrong but if anyone has a current value or estimate, I would be most grateful. The "M" stamp, made between 1962-83 retails for between $375 and $700.

Beautiful knife! I would inquire with Ruana for a more accurate value.
