Richardson's knives are not only beautiful , they are very functional. A work of art and craftmanship worty of collecting. Over the years I have collected several of these knives and all have spent time in the field. They are as beautiful now as the day I purchased them. I have my eye on the Elk knife as my next to aquire and that will complete my collection. Thanks Ken for such a well built and beautiful tool for the field. Always drawing attention and creating conversations you have the magic, keep it in play.
