Ruffin Johnson, El Lobo Solo


Here is a very cool piece I acquired, it is from a knifemaker who is no longer with us, El Lobo Solo was the mark of Ruffin Johnson, world famous Texas knife maker and Texas Knifemaker Hall of Fame member, who passed in 2011.  Not what I usually fancy however this piece just kinda spoke to me.  The handle is Maple Burl and there is a sterling silver Wolf's Head on the butt of the knife.  Very cool!

  1. Beautiful knife - I have always coveted a Ruffinat Johnson 'lightweight' that he used to make in the late 70s & early 80s. Anyone have a spare???
