Bill Ruple Slip Joint Double Bolstered Folder, File-Work, Bombshell Shield (SOLD)
$0.00
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. No matter what show he attends, he always sells out - and quickly! This knife is Brand New, direct from Bill.
This large slip joint folder features a CPM-154 steel trapper-shaped blade, 416 stainless steel "fluted" front and rear bolsters, and file-worked liners. The scales are carbon fiber, and there is an inlaid bombshell-shaped shield on the presentation side. Bill put a lanyard hole on the rear bolster, and included a nylon rope. The knife features a half-stop, locks up tight with no blade play, and the blade seating is perfect. Nice large nail nick, with a firm yet easy pull. Great walk-and-talk!
Condition: New from the maker
