Bill Ruple 2-Blade Amber Stag HTT PROTOTYPE Remington Bullet Trapper Slip-Joint Folding Knife

Bill Ruple 2-Blade Amber Stag HTT PROTOTYPE Remington Bullet Trapper Slip-Joint Folding Knife

Bill Ruple is a master at making slip joint folders.  He has taught and inspired so many knifemakers on how to make folding knives, that it's almost impossible to list them.  You have to hold one of Bill's knives to truly appreciate the fit and finish, and his attention to detail.  He has been making knives since 1988.  The quality of his knives has been consistent throughout his career.  He has made knives with from one to five blades.  No matter what he makes or what show he attends, he always sells out - and quickly!

This two-blade HTT (Hunter, Trader, Trapper) PROTOTYPE features a Clip Point blade and a Spey blade, both made of CPM 154 stainless steel.  Both blades have half stops.  Both blades have long pulls with firm and smooth pulls.  The handle is amber dyed, well-matched stag scales with rich color and figure.  The front and rear bolsters are 416 stainless steel, as are the integral outer liners and pins.  The front bolster has three (3) shadow lines.  The inlaid Remington Bullet shield is also 416 stainless.  The transition from backsprings to blade spines is near seamless - it's difficult to see where one stops and the other starts.  Bill's tolerances, and fit and finish, are second to none.  Bill has stamped "RUPLE" on the ricasso of the Spey blade.  And "PROTOTYPE" is stamped on the inside of the tang of the Clip point blade.  Both blades lock up tight with no play, with centered blade seating.  Bill does the "walk-and-talk" like very few can.  This knife is previously owned and in excellent condition.  A rare piece for the serious collector.  Comes in a padded, zippered case.
