Buying stag pieces blindly is a bit too risky for me usually. I may have to gamble a little more often.

That's a nice one! I haven't had much luck with stag. I should receive mine tomorrow and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I get one I'm satisfied with. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if i'm not into it, I'll move it along and I'm sure someone else can appreciate it.

I am thrilled with my first example in Stag. Very cool!

There is some side to side play which I wasn’t happy about, dead solid up and down. Tbh, I’d rather have some up and down play than side to side but wow is she pretty! Absolutely thrilled with the #83 Lockback! I gotta do a group shot soon

Congrats to you my friend for your very first Stag . And what a fine Stag example it is . Carry it in good health and I hope you carry it in a Slip to reduce the chance of Verdigris . Thank you for posting the photos .

Thank you very much sir! A slip is a must. I know just the right maker in Dirk Dillon. It is my absolute pleasure to share and enjoy everyone’s photos. The knife community is very special.
 
Well, I just received a stag one. I’ll post some pics later. I received a picture from the distributor in advance and thought to myself, ‘this may be the ugliest’ stag pattern I’ve ever purchased :). Given the demand, it’s not like I had a choice in the matter.

I have a feeling that I was able to get this one in the first place as other buyers on the top of the list must have had more say in the matter, lol.

But now, I have it in hand and it is growing on me. It is thick but because it is already a small knife, it feels right. Almost has a Opinel roundness and firmness in grip than other thinner smaller traditionals. Or I’m just making excuses to like the cover on this knife :D

You mean like this? (CAUTION: NSFW)

The more I mess with it, the more the thickness is starting to grow on me. It works on this knife due to the smaller nature of the pattern. Digging mine so far!

Just like an Opinel no. 6 at 9 times the price!
 
I just opened mine and was thrilled to find some beautiful, fat stag with solid lock up. I almost swore off GEC lockbacks after my Bocote but glad I didn’t. It’s late now but I’ll post some photos in a few days when I’m off.
