Tanner Couch is a part-time slip-joint knifemaker from Tilden, TX. He has been making knives for about 5 or 6 years. Tanner is a member of the South Texas SlipJoint Cartel, whose members are a who's who of top tier slip-joint knifemakers. Tanner is a student of Bill Ruple, or as I like to refer to the many who Bill has mentored, a Ruple Pupil. Tanner has learned well and should definitely be on your radar. He has taken Bill's advice to heart and looks to make each knife he builds better than his last. His goal is to build a knife that is functional, well-made and good looking. This knife is Brand New and direct from Tanner. This is Tanner's Dogleg Trapper slip-joint folding knife. It features a hand-rubbed CPM-154 stainless steel blade, 410/416 stainless steel liners and bolster. The liners have been relieved. The scales are Vintage Rag Micarta. Tanner has inlaid a Federal Shield into the presentation side of the handle. The blade features a half-stop, locks up tight with no blade play, and the blade seating is at center. Nice comfortable long pull, that is both firm and smooth. Walks and talks too. An awesome piece of work from the student of the master! Comes in a Couch Knives padded, zippered case and spec card signed by Tanner.
