Very rare R.H. Ruana knife. Theses are known as \'brassies\'. They have a brass guard and end cap.This one is particularly rare. There is the raised (swelled) portion in the center of the handle. It is etched Ruana \'M\' on the blade. The blade length is just shy of 6\". Overall length is a bit over 11\".Stunning piece. Good luck ever finding another one like it.This knife is shown on page 8 of The Hammer Still Rings, a book of Ruana knives.
