Rare discontinued Model 18A Hunter Special with double rocker stamp and signed by Rudy himself. The blade measures 5". The handle is elk horn with aluminum fittings. The knife is in very good condition for its age and looks much better in person. OAL: 9.5". The blade shows wear and patina but is very full and everything fits well and tight. The sheath with 5 copper rivets is complete and original to the knife but it is quite worn. Rudy signed the blade but it didn't show well in my picture it looks better in person and easy to read.
