Whoa! If it were me, I would hang on to this for posterity. What a great collection of stag and different blade/bolster configurations. Plus, with two 2 wee 'uns, the 25 is a perfect diminutive size as your kids grow.

Pmew the Wharncliffe gives me heart palpitations. The Sheepfoot beside it is what i just bought in burnt stag. Should be here tomorrow according to tracking info.
 
Reasonably sure I did. And it's had some pocket love too...
 
I have one lone 252212 in kryptonite and spear point. Beautiful. Great fit and finish. Pull is about a 6 both blades. User!
 
Some beautiful stag #25's posted here lately! I've shown these before, but here's a new photo of my pair of Stag #25's from 2015.

I lay down to take a nap today after my physical therapy (I had a quad bypass done last Wednesday) I woke to a notification that my package had been delivered YIPPEE KI YAAAAA!!!! Shrugged into my robe slipped into my slippers and walked out into the rain to the mailbox. Sure enuff my GEC 25 Sheepsfoot 25 ez open burnt stag knife Is here:) (wheww that was a mouthfull)
I of course have been CoonFingerin and Hairy eyeballin it since. I tried to take pics to post but haven,t gotten any worth posting. I dunno if it,s even possible with my phone camera but I will try agian outside when the sun comes out.
First impressions, this thing is little! But I bought it looking for a short blade as I have found I never use all the blade on any of my knives (kitchen knives excluded, I use all the 10 inches of blade on my chef) Impressions of the blade. Just right! And man is this thing way pointy. On par or maybe exceding my Case wharncliffe mini trapper, tho you wouldn't know to look at them side by side.(I had to poke myself with them to determine the answer) No blood was spilled. Now on to the handle thinking self, how am I gonna be able to hold on to this thing? Turns out..... no problem in fact it may be just right, time and use will tell. FF,awesome,pull maybe a tad stiff but not to much so (soapy water and use will help that) The snap crackle and pop of it opening and closing Ahhhhhhhhhh.... Mmmmmmmm... Oh Yea (imagine the sound of Barry White,s voice:). This seems to have turned into a review and I surely am preaching to the already converted sorry.
Now to a little tinsey weensey whine.
I would have liked for the scales to have been closer to book matched. The color,thickness, and shape are not ummmmmm... matching. But that probably is what you get in a custom and not a production knife.
Don't get me wrong I love this Knife and probably have since seeing them here. My ocd is the only thing keeping this knife from being perfect.
Off to huff n puff on my spirometer,hoping the sun comes out and to more COONFINGERIN and Hairy Eyeballin.

But what really catches my eye is that wonderful Smooth Oiled Bone Sheepfoot, dazzler!:thumbsup::cool:
 
I dunno why but every pic I upload comes out 2 of the same then I hafta edit out the dupes. I am doing them thru my adroid phone.

Any ideas folks?
 
Nice one FOG2 FOG2 ! Thanks for the pictures.
Every piece of stag is different, but I can find something I like in each one!
Good luck in your recovery.:thumbsup:
