Here’s both of mine side by side. Still hoping to get a micarta eventually, but for now I’m content with the pair of Northfields.

I put my Ironwood away in the chest for now. I'm really enjoying the stag, and plan to pocket it for however long it takes to get a bit of the lighter color showing through the the darker peaks and ridges. Then I just might carry it some more. :D

I agree with those wishing GEC had polished the Ironwood knives. But I'm pretty sure that's something that I can do easily if and whenever I feel the urge. I'll take my sweet time to do it, too. :p;)

I'm thinking that the step(s) in GEC's polishing process may allot a certain amount of time for each cover, and certain woods might be more tedious get just right without taking longer to do so. Still would prefer it done the old way though. :rolleyes:

A forum member really admired the half pipe so I let him buy it off me. I personally am in the all stag is good stag camp so I am going to keep this one. A lot of character in its own right. I was bored last night so in an unusual move on my part I put a new edge on a brand new knife. Wow, what a nice slicer.

Does anyone know what "retail" was for the stag? Or average asking price? I only ask because it appears I paid more from the dealer I went through than KSF has them listed for (out of stock now of course).

KSF price was the minimum price from GEC. I did notice a retailer who is well known here, and who I’ve purchased from a few times in the past had set their prices anywhere from $10 - $40 above the minimum on #74. I’ve paid a bit over the minimum on knives from them in the past, but this time was the highest markup I’ve seen from them.
 
Anyone ever store these in leather slips rather than the tube it comes in? I’m more likely to add the stag in my regular rotation if I do that, but wanted to make sure it wouldn’t cause any harm leaving it in there.
