Pawn shopping for Bucks and came across this

[Makael]

I almost passed on this due to no markings of the maker but did some quick research and a trip back to the pawn shop. I'm glad I did, having it evaluated at Ruana but this appears to be a very old 1937 to 42 unmarked Ruana in great shape. I know this is not a Buck knife but I was looking for them and found this. Ironwood I believe. This is an option you see now and again.
I enjoy both brands immensely and have gotten to know the people at Ruana the last two years

Was on a Buck hunt. Found this. Sharing the find I guess.
