Tanto by Kuzan Oda and Ruana

Post by dclaytor »

Can anyone give me info and value on either or both of these. Know you can't tell by pics (still trying to fig out pics) but both are in excellent condition. the case on the Tanto isn't original, its Kidex (spelling ?).

Nice looking Ruana, I believe he called that style his "sticker", can't tell for sure but it looks to be 60's or 70's.
Your Hibben is 60's when he made big fighter's, nice heavy duty knives. As for value both are collectible, Ruana's
knives made by Rudy are pretty hot right now...do a ebay search and you'll see.

BTW ::welcome:: ...There is a thread on how to post pic's that will help you out...I think its in general knife discussion.

Did check ebay on Ruana and price was all over the place. It is a beautifull knife. Dad kept both in excellent condition.

If you can tell us the EXACT stampings on the handle of the Ruana, I can probably give you some more information.
