This is a very rare and early example of R.J. Martin's work.  It is marked #02 below the tang.  It is a drop point hunter with a 154CM steel blade, a tapered tang, red spacers, and two beautifully matched scales of stag held by 2 large pins.  R.J. used 1/4" bar stock to make the blade, and cut a thumb ramp on the blade spine.  The blade tang is marked "R.J. Martin".  It comes with a pouch-type sheath also marked "R.J. Martin".  The knife appears to be unused.  There are some fine handling marks on the bolsters and blade, most likely caused by the sheath.  They are very fine, and difficult to see unless at the right angle under certain lighting.  This knife has substantial feel to it in-hand.  It is ready to be used - or more likely displayed in a collection.  This is an outstanding example of R.J. early work, and a rare piece of his knife making history.
