Beginning in late 2018 we launched our 80th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Axe and shortly after a new collectible knife; the Reliable Ruana. The prototype and 100 of each model were recently completed. Most have been sold but numbers listed below are available for sale.
Special Notes:
The Handle:
The numbered series of this knife has sold out. It can be ordered as a regular production model without all of the bells and whistles. It comes with a boot style sheath for $ 395 plus shipping and insurance.
Special Notes:
- Preference for future numbered series will be given to customers who purchase the 80th Anniversary Collector’s Edition axe (not the Reliable Ruana). For example, if you purchase Axe # 36 you will have first chance for # 36 of the next numbered series.
- If you are interested in any of these items, make sure you have had correspondence with us and confirmation of availability, before sending payment. We accept PayPal, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover as well as check and money order. We are willing to discuss payment plan options with you, if necessary.
- We’re not always at our computer but will respond to private messages, phone calls and email messages ASAP and update available numbers as they are sold.
80th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Axe Specs
The Bit & Body:
- One solid piece of ¼” 1095 high carbon steel, makes up the entire bit, body and tang that extends into the cast aluminum handle.
- The hammer forged head measures about 5” from the butt end to the cutting edge.
- The top of the bit to the hilt of the handle is about 8” long. This is much longer than our standard hatchet and creates good leverage and power for a working tool.
- Acknowledgement of this being our 80th Anniversary Collector’s Edition and unique number is laser engraved into each axe.
The Handle:
- The cast aluminum handle mold is the same one we used for our 75th Anniversary Knife. Sticking with a throwback look this handle has 3 rivets to secure the dovetail, elk antler inserts.
- The handles are marked with the current stamp that has been used on knives from 1984 – present day.
- We are using a brand new, special logo on this sheath. The stamp also notes “Since 1938” which is the year of Ruana Knife Works inception.
- A brass snap, rather than the standard nickel snap, adds uniqueness to the sheath.
- Each axe comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that corresponds to the engraving on the axe.
- An extra-large padded zipper case embroidered with the same logo as the sheath will come with each axe for preserving your heirloom quality investment.
- Only 101 axes and sheaths (prototype plus 100) will be made with these collectible specs.
- Your purchase of this numbered Collector’s Edition will give you the right of first refusal for any numbered series made in the future.
- $ 990 each includes shipping and insurance charges via UPS Ground in the lower 48 states or Priority Mail in all 50 States. Additional charges for UPS shipping to Hawaii & Alaska and all shipments outside the United States will apply.
36 (shown in photo above), 38, 50, 51, 54, 57, 59, 63, 68, 70, 71, 73, 74, 77, 78, 79, 81, 90, 91 and 97.
