Bill Moran - Belt Buckle Knife

[kcordell]

Curious if anyone has seen one of these uncommon Bill Moran creations. It should have the Bill Moran forge stamp on the back.

Never seen or heard of a Bill Moran belt buckle knife. I would like to see photos as well.

Looks to be legit!

Very cool piece, I have seen other Moran creations using that knife design.

Love it

Hey Steve,

Thanks for your reply and the others received here. I am for sure it's legit. My dad had a few knives made by Mr. Moran and admired the belt he was wearing when visiting his shop....made an offer and came home with it. I feel very fortunate to have it...

Interesting! Is there a picture of the actual knife?

 

[kcordell]

I could do that sometime soon. This my first time posting on this forum. Are there any forums specific to moran knives...? Just curious.
