R.H.R. Grand Knives

Dave Ruana started making knives in 1980 under the direct guidance of his Grandfather Rudy Ruana. All R.H.R Grand Knives are made from start to finish free hand by Dave Ruana. They are power forged from the finest hi-carbon or chrome-alloy spring steel, zone hardened and differentially heat treated. All brass guards are braze-welded for maximum strength and durability. Wood, Micarta and Montana Elkhorn are used for most handles. Dave personally field tests all of his knife designs placing emphasis on balance, form and function. These knives have proven themselves in the woods and work places of Montana, under extreme conditions.

I welcome personal designs for bowie and custom knives. Send your design specifications and I will quote the price and delivery date for your knives. All R.H.R. Grand Knives and sheaths are made by Dave Ruana.
