Bill Ruple (Pleasanton, TX) 2 Blade Damascus Folding Trapper Knife. Two Blade Trapper by Bill Ruple features teardrop/raindrop Damasteel? Damascus blades with nail nicks and spines that match up perfectly.
Handles have the same double damascus bolsters, stainless steel liners and springs. Half stops on both blades. Ruple is best know for his outstanding multiblade slip joint folders - the traditional American pocket knife. Between making knives and going to shows, he also serves on the board of the Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association.
Bill was inducted into The Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall Of Fame in 2022. I have been making knives since 1988 and serve on the board of directors of the Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association.
I specialize in multi-blade folders. I prefer to do only slip joints, however I do make some locking folders by request. My first love is reproducing some of the older patterns made by the early knife companies, but I do make more "modern" looking knives as well.
