      <image:title>Company History &amp; Mission - In 1938, Rudy Ruana began making knives in a small Montana shop. His family members are still hand-crafting Ruana Knives in the same shop today.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Having left the decimated family farm in North Dakota and looking for greener pastures, 1938 found Rudy Ruana in the small community of Bonner, Montana working as a mechanic and welder at a small garage. In order to help his family survive during the post depression era, Ruana began to make a few knives on the side—a skill that originated in the 1920’s when he was a farrier in the cavalry, making his first knives for a couple of Native Americans in need of a better tool for skinning horses. As time passed and the reputation of Ruana’s knives grew, demand became so great that Rudy began making knives full time in 1952, calling his business Ruana Knife Works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Company History &amp; Mission - Carrying on the family tradition.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1964 Ruana’s son-in-law, Vic Hangas left a job with a phone company and put his artistic talents to work, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas’ son Mark began working at the company in 1976. In 1983, Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and Dad and the business was incorporated. Rudy Ruana passed away in April of 1986. He was honored by being posthumously inducted into the American Bladesmith Society Hall of Fame in 1997 and BLADE Magazine’s Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002. Vic Hangas passed away in 2019, after being involved with Ruana Knife Works for 55 years. As of 2026, Mark and Mike Hangas have a combined 92 years with the family business. In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana Knives are still handcrafted in the U. S. A. with an emphasis on quality over quantity. While a few things have changed over the years, we are still using the same methods and much of the same equipment Rudy used. We like to have fun and enjoy all of the great things living in Montana has to offer. We work hard but also try to not take ourselves too seriously and run our business with an emphasis on the Golden Rule. We try to give our best effort on a daily basis while maintaining Rudy Ruana’s work ethic and create knives that are usable, durable, and collectible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ruana Americana Knives - Americana Fisherman</image:title>
      <image:caption>With all of us at Ruana Knives having grown up with fishing rods in our hands since we could walk, we have always had a passion for fishing. That fact, combined with Montana’s exceptional angling opportunities (some almost literally within a stone’s throw from our shop) led to the development of the Ruana Americana Fisherman. Based on our traditional Steelhead model and originally created for fishing, we have found this blade works well on anything from a 6” Brook Trout to a 6 point bull elk or any outdoor endeavor where a good cutting tool is needed. $160 / $180 with engraving</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ruana Americana Knives - Americana Smokejumper</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based on our most popular knife, the Ruana Smokejumper was originally created in the late 1930's and later became a favorite knife for Western Montana's brave parachuting firefighters that were first on the scene to battle forest fires in rugged and remote mountainous areas. The Smokejumpers would occasionally get hung up in a tree or have their parachute cord tangled during the jump and this compact knife would allow them to cut themselves free. The versatile Smokejumper blade shape has been tested throughout Montana, the United States, and other parts of the world. Its design is all any hunter, outdoor enthusiast, survivalist or anyone requiring an everyday quality cutting tool ever needs. $160 / $180 with engraving</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sheaths - Sheaths</image:title>
      <image:caption>A no frills, functional sheath accompanies all Ruana Knives and the Hatchet. Ruana sheaths are made from full grain English bridle leather that is drum-dyed and lightly hot stuffed with an extra tallow top dressing. They are sewn with durable, bonded high strength nylon thread and brass nailed for safety. All knives, hatchets and Bowie knives come with the sheaths shown on this page. Sheaths can be purchased separately with the prices depending on size and style. Please contact us for prices. We highly recommend that you invest in some Montana Pitch Blend Leather Dressing (on page 11 of our catalog) for your sheath. Pitch blend will prolong the life of your sheath while helping to keep moisture from condensing around your knife, which in turn helps keep it clean. FS-Full Length Sheath— All cast handle knives come with a full sheath designed for protecting your knife. The knife if fully covered with a flap that comes over the butt of the handle and snaps to the main part of the sheath. 22 S-Hatchet Sheath—Heavy leather sheath for the hatchet that allows you to carry it on a belt. SBS-Standard Bowie Sheath—Heavy leather Bowie sheath with decorative frog lace and saddle tie. Strap that crosses guard diagonally keeps knife in place. IF YOU ARE ORDERING A REPLACEMENT SHEATH FOR ONE OF OUR KNIVES, WE MUST HAVE THE KNIFE IN HAND IN ORDER TO FIT IT PROPERLY. Please email or call for more information and estimates.</image:caption>

      <image:title>How Ruana Knives are Made - Introduction</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anyone who has tried to make a knife on their own is aware that it isn’t easy work. For 80 years, a little blood, a lot of sweat and an occasional tear have gone into making Ruana Knives. Hot, loud, dirty, physically demanding, monotonous, and dangerous are a few of the words to describe the work that takes place at the Ruana Knife Works shop. Each knife is manufactured using power tools, hand tools, and machinery that requires hands on work throughout the production process. All knives are crafted one at a time with attention to detail given at every step along the way while keeping quality our number one priority from start to finish.</image:caption>

      <image:title>How Ruana Knives are Made - The Blade</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rudy Ruana was once quoted as saying, “you pay for the blade and the rest is free.” While not totally true, the main goal at Ruana Knife Works, Inc. has been and will always remain to produce a cutting tool that will be reliable for its owner. Each Ruana blade is made from high carbon steel that is hammer forged, hollow ground, individually oil quenched, and heat treated using a zone tempering method that makes the spine of the blade a little softer than the cutting edge. Our high carbon blades are not stainless, but they contain the best steel for a knife that provides a great cutting edge, will stay sharp, and is relatively easy to sharpen. With minimal care, they will last you a lifetime and then some.</image:caption>

      <image:title>How Ruana Knives are Made - The Handle</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ruana Knife handles come in several different forms. The most common knife handle is aluminum cast directly on the tang with elk antler inserts that are beveled and riveted. The tang runs inside the entire length of the handle and cast aluminum produces a strong handle that will not fall apart – it is there to stay unless you take a cutoff saw to it. We also make custom handles that have full tangs with slabs from elk antler, micarta, or wood that are epoxy glued and contain rivets to strengthen the handles. Our brass-handled knives are the prettiest, but are also made to be used. The tang runs through the entire length of the handle and the butt cap is threaded onto the tang with some butt caps being recessed. Epoxy glue is used to strengthen and secure these handles, which are most commonly made with elk antler although other materials are used occasionally.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Blade: 4”, 3/16” stock. Handle: 4 1/2”. Vic spent 52+ years making Ruana Knives and in 2017 we honored him with the V.N. Hangas Special knife. There was a limited edition run of these knives originally, and because of it’s popularity, it is now offered as (non-numbered) catalog knife. With Dad passing away in 2019, this particular knife has taken on even more meaning to us now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Vic's Blade (Copy) - Honoring, our father, Vic Hangas</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2017, we honored our dad, Vic Hangas, and his 52 plus years of making Ruana Knives with the V. N. Hangas Special knife. The prototype and first 100 of these knives were made with special engraving, numbering, a certificate, special leather for the sheath and other bells and whistles that will never be used again for this knife and sheath. We anticipated this design being popular and are offering it for sale as a non-catalog, but regular production knife. With Dad (Vic) passing away on November 30, 2019, this particular knife has taken on a more special meaning to us while making them and also those that receive them. Knife &amp; Sheath Features: The blade is hammer forged, flat grind 4” 1095 carbon steel blade made from 3/16” stock with a hybrid shape between the Custom Finn and Steelhead blades. It has thumb notches at the hilt and would work well for hunting, fishing, camping, anything in the outdoors or an everyday carry knife. The 4 ½” cast aluminum handle has elk antler inserts secured with aluminum rivets and is a shop favorite of all of us in terms of comfort and functionality. The boot style, full sheath is handmade in our shop with chestnut colored English Bridle leather. Vic’s Blade ~ $480</image:caption>
