These all look very nice but there's something about the shape of this pattern that really looks good in stag. I wish I'd made a play to get one.

Great stuff here.

I agree! When I saw them in stag I knew I had to have one.

I also agree, the 74 does look good with stag, it's just the right pocket size and the drop point blade looks great :thumbsup:

I really like this pattern with the non-clip blade. Sort of reminds me of a Zulu but I actually like it better.

I feel the same and I'm a big fan of zulu blades. The stags with the drop point and the bolster come together wonderfully.

My stag just arrived and I am impressed. IMHO the stag is beautiful and well matched. Not too thick and not too thin. Fit and finish is excellent and the pull is on par with my Plum and Burlap ones. Considering I only had a few seconds to choose one I’m happy.

Have just been informed that there is a stag drop tomorrow evening, be interesting to see how long they last.

sf fanatic that is a sweet looking knife, good for you, I'm sorry to repeat myself in this thread but the 74 looks great in stag :thumbsup:

Very nice, I really like how the stag is thinner in the middle as opposed to thicker. My stag 86 is like that and is super comfortable in the hand. Congratulations on scoring a good one!

Yes, extremely comfortable in hand. It's nice really snappy like my other 74. I think the 73, 74 and 77 are GECs best frames. They are just pocket friendly and big enough to get large tasks done.

Just received my stag and a shout out goes to the USPS. It took less than 2 days from OK. to NY. A special thanks to Mike @knifeswapper. This is “the one.” The stag is as nice as any I’ve had. No comments necessary. I’ll let the photo speak for itself. Oh, I also got a pin (highly unusual for me).

Wow. That's spectacular stag.

Wharn · Nov 6, 2020

Man those stags are nice. I’m almost wishing I went for a stag instead of micarta and ironwood now.

AnW · Nov 6, 2020

Those stags do look great!!
