Are the scales elk or sambar stag?

Elk from the custom shop.

That's really nice bark for elk.

wonderboy1377s Might we see the other side of that beauty?

 

[GPyro]

I'm assuming you ordered that. Did you request extra bark?
They don't usually look like that.
Very nice.

New 110 and a 1.75 of Woodford

Generalist matthewtstock It does have a lot of bark for being elk. That is what drew me to it.

GPyro I did not order this one from the custom shop. I fished it off of the bay but all its packaging/ sheath seems correct to me to be a legit custom shop knife. I have in the past asked for more bark on some of my orders and they came out fantastic.



DaveHS very nice knife and one of my favorite bourbons!

I only buy elk handles in person or used for that reason. I prefer bark but many are much more smooth and light colored. Congrats on a great find!

I hear ya. I like the appearance of both smooth and bark, but I’m in the minority for liking the smooth ones. It is definitely a gamble ordering them sight unseen. I have received from no bark to lots of it. It would be nice to have an option when ordering to specify which you would like.

Apologies, I don't have bourbon and don't mean to derail, but since we're discussing different elk scale appearances, here's one with nice bark.

I've heard you can make a request. I guess you call them with the order number and they can then note it on the order.
Of course no guarantees...... And I heard it somewhere, but I don't know for sure.

I have done it in the past via email. I just gave them my order number and they put a note on the order.

It must work then.
