I would love to see a liner-lock in stag. #73’s and stag are a perfect pairing.

I'm going to go against the crowd. I came back around to traditionals because they generally have more than one blade and I don't need a lock. Were I looking to buy a single-blade locking folder, there are some really good knives out there in the modern world. Better steel, better locks, better materials, better construction, lighter weight, etc. If it's to be a Trapper, I prefer the traditional two-blade slipjoint design.

Stag is wonderful, but so is gnarly ram's horn. This #73 was made for Bulldog USA in 2009.

Thanks. The double pull is nice but it’s the stamped blade that gets me. I sure wish they did more of them.

Sorta. Folding hunters are generally 3/4" to 1" longer than the 23, and they don't have the spey blade, rather a drop point ... I need a sheath for a folding hunter. The 23 ... almost.

That pattern wouldn't be the same without that hard snap. I have a two blade user 73, the pulls are a solid 8 or so, it's a stout knife and I love it for that.
I'm surprised they were showing it off... Bill specifically told me not to let it out that it was 23s, but I guess that was a few weeks ago.
I sure wish it was a single blade!
The Allegheny Mountain Knife Collectors Association club knife will likely be a 23 from this run also.
