I have considered selling the antique Proto-type knife below. does anyone have any experience or suggestions on the best way to do it? I went and talked with RUANA KNIFE WORKS President Victor Hangas who lives close by and he said it was worth $4000 to $5000.  I am just nervous about the best way to market it.  THANKS EVERYONE!  GREAT SITE HERE!

The picture below is an original prototype RUANA made by Rudy around 1938 to 1940.  I live near the RUANA KNIFE WORKS factory and they were excited to see this and were amazed the condition and rarity!  They gave a letter stating this is one of the first that Rudy ever made when he opened his shop!

We had a home in Spokane for 30 years - been doing gun show's all my life - wasn't that many years ago you could buy a Ruana at a Spokane Gun Show for 35 to 50 bucks - they were nothing but a tool in those days - nothing special - tom

I have a couple of hunters/skinners (like 3&4from top in pic). There was a lot of great Ruanas at the Great Falls Montana gun show. Nice to see the old signed bowies.

Thank you, Gary for starting this group. I like the Ruana knives in the photo for the group. Is that a Randall knife hiding in the background?
