So I have to ask, I'm really interested in one of the Wright lamb foot in stag, but I don't want to buy 3looking for good fit and finish and nice gnarly stag. How do you accomplish such a thing?

There's always Dr Glennbad! ;)

I've just made a post about stag in the Wright's factory thread: Visiting Arthur Wright & Son (Pics) (Also see Vince's post above) :thumbsup:

Probably the best stag I've had personally is on this one, but I think it is atypical, and if you want gnarly stag, you may have to go for an older knife :thumbsup:

Very nice Lambsfoot there, spycycle.:thumbsup:

And with a carbon steel blade too, I presume?

That bocote looks fantastic.:thumbsup:

How do you find the fit and finish?

If you intend to use this one, i'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it. :)

Jack, this photo looks like that horn has a light source hidden within! No doubt in my mind, one of the best examples I have seen yet my friend! :thumbsup::thumbsup::D
 
Thanks Ron, very kind of you :) It was definitely one I couldn't pass up. The longer blade is interesting. I have a few older ones like this, and though personally I think I prefer the smaller blade, I'm sure that others would prefer the larger version. Definitely worth a try :thumbsup:
 
Thanks everybody! It's going in my pocket and off to work today, time to really test the pattern!

Thanks, yeah the bocote is a real treat.

Blade is carbon steel, produced by A. Wright as JB mentioned (the little 'foot' at the kick is mostly hidden by the bolster) and required a decent amount of sharpening/stropping to get the tip nice and sharp.

The finish is great - the handle isn't polished, so the wood grain has some really nice texture to it, and I imagine it will age very nicely. The brass liners and bolsters have a coarse satin to them for a matching feel. There are some gaps along the backspring that I wish weren't there, but this will be a user for me, so it also isn't the end of the world.
 
Thanks for the report Spycycle, please let us know how you continue to get on with it :thumbsup:
 
Nice to see this thread approaching 40 pages! Baaaa! :D
