Sure thing. These are some pictures the maker sent me all those years ago when he was working on it.

You can just pick up red stag antlers off the ground in Patagonia.

Very interesting example and your background to it. I like the quality of execution here, highly attractive pebbled Stag with spacers and well judged proportions: blade/handle and bolster size. File-work enhances it too, this is a quality piece and one that must be a pleasure to use. Sadly, many Custom knives can come across as almost 'anxious'- by this I mean too precise, too sterile, possibly never to be used.... this knife is certainly not like this at all. Basically, it succeeds. :cool: Nice tribute to the mountaineer as well.

Thanks, Will

George Mallory's knife was an "Oates Real Lambfoot"!!! I studied it, among others, before I asked Great Eastern Cutlery to produce a Lambfoot knife for me!!
I also used a "Joseph Rodgers" as a model/influence!!
