My last Paul Rimpler knife...

[451_Detonics]

Paul Rimpler was a local knife maker and Dad and I sold quite a few of his knives through our gunshop. I personally owned 8-10 of his knives but sold most over the years only holding onto this one. Somewhere in the house I think I still have one of his marked blanks as well, an upswept skinner but so far can't seem to locate it after the move a couple years ago...

There was a guy at a Tipton show that had a couple Rimplers for sale in a case. Didn't think many people knew about him! Small world!!
