Thanks for re-orienting me on the "provenance" of your stag lambsfoots, Jack!Thanks GTThey are all examples of sambar stag from Wright's, but all knives I own
At the top is my latest wee staggy, which I've had a few months, the one below that I got last year I think. Both these knives I've ended up with as a result of picking knives up for other people!
The next knife is a candle-end, the only one I've seen with sambar, which I spotted by chance at the factory last year. Finally, a "Senator", which Wright's re-handled for me, and which I've had a few years
Great pic of your Union Jack my friend, sounds like it has had an adventurous day

Sorry, GT. I must have missed this.
I do not think you should have any structural issues as I typically pass the thread back and forth a few times before trimming. You should be able to trim the frayed edges without ill effect with some small sharp scissors. If for whatever reason the leather starts to separate, please do not hesitate to send it back to me (on my dime) and I will repair it. I have opted to use a saddle stitch with these recent slips and I think the stitching is far more secure. But I will not know for sure until folks have pocketed them for awhile.
I totally agree with Jack, Dylan. Thanks for the advice, and thanks for your VERY generous offer, but I have no intention of sending the slip back for repair, and certainly not at your cost!...That really is above and beyond Dylan![]()

LOL, love it! "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife nor his knife nor his ..."Dylan & Jack, those are a couple of champion-caliber stag lambsfoot knives!You're making it hard for me not to break the Tenth Commandment: something along the lines of, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife nor his knife nor his ..."
(Just to be clear, it's the knife part that's currently challenging me.
)

Thanks for the advice, and thanks for your VERY generous offer, but I have no intention of sending the slip back for repair, and certainly not at your cost!You did all the impressive initial work, and from now on, if any repairs are needed, I consider it an opportunity for me to learn a little bit about leather work!
Congrats, K kfalk ; that's a very handsome stag lambsfoot!I love the way the swayback design makes the "bulbous butt" on the handle.
Any chance we can see the pile side sometime soon??
