From my experience many of Ricks earlier fixed blades were "one off".

For example, all of these are "Bose Pattern" but each one is just a bit different.

I do not believe these could be done today. Real ivory scales, and the inlay on the Parsons sheath is from the ear of the elephant that the Ivory came from. The knife on the right would be the closest to the same as the lacewood knife that I have seen of Rick's knives.

One will not see a ton of his knives with a hamon.

I do believe he is mainly doing "folders" these days. You might try contacting him on Instagram or Facebook.

Believe it or not, the two below are the only knives I've asked Rick to make, and it was two or three years on the folder and about 5 years on the Randall.

This repro Randall #1 Fighter in etched A2. IIRC, Bo Randall's grandson was there with Rick during part of the time it took to make this one.

and this Pacheco Folder in etched A2 with inlaid petrified walrus pecker "shield".

The rest, I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.
