Part of his job is working game check stations during anterless deer hunt and removing the reproductive organs for laboratory analysis. On average Ron handles 100 deer a day. Ron says “I work pretty fast ,used  two folders and had to stop and resharpen a couple of times, but I got the job done.” Sadly  Ron  died at a young age  in 1977.  His  knives  are  highly collectable and hard to find. This knife is mint , fits the hand like a glove, great back spring.  estimated value $400
