I am pretty hooked on Ivory, but, the stag looks awesome. Great work as usual Ken E.

Taking out that Ivory knife to see it cracked like that,musta shocked the $hit outta you Elliott !
Nice stag redo,though.
Great knives Ken!

Elliott, I think the knife looks even better now - that stag gives it more "personality".
 
I have a hard time thinking anything is any classier, or better looking than Ivory, but I believe that knife looks better with the Stag. Nice redo Ken :thumbup:

Then you would have a 'guttie' folder. No more cracks! ;)

That ivory thing is a bummer. I haven't had problems myself, but sure hate to see it when it happens.

Ken did an awesome job, and I love the new look. Wouldn't expect anything else out of him. Good team work, guys. :thumbup:

Elliot, what a transformation on that knife :cool: ...My personal opinion is that Ivory only when very, very well aged is nice...until then...I can take it or leave it...its a temperamental damn material to use because of its cracking.
But look at what that Stag has done!! wow...that is one huge improvement...what a great before and after :thumbup:
 
Not to berate the knife in its original state, but it looks incredible now with the new scales and shield... :thumbup:
 
That's the problem with setting ivory transverse like that, but, Ken did a great job rehafting and I like the stag better. :thumbup::cool:
 
So were carrying it as backpocket knife and hadn't shed the extra holiday pounds yet? :p

Sorry, Elliott. It was a shame about the crack in the ivory but the new stag is absolutely stunning! Kudos to Ken!
 
Elliott,

WOW, What a cool transformation!:thumbup: You should be darn happy that you are on Ken's Christmas Card list, so you can just pick up the phone and say..."Ken..I have a little problem!" :eek::rolleyes:

Ken did an outstanding job--Way to Go! :p Who knows why that ivory cracked, but now you still have a great slippy! :thumbup::D;)

Yup, the grain was running the wrong way.

A nice re-handling job, but I'm an ivory man, so I would have loved to
see another set of ivory scales on the knife. Nothing really comes close
to the look and feel of ivory, it is a unique material. :)
 
Thanks folks for all the excellent observations. I sure appreciate it. :thumbup:

Thanks, Mike. It already had that shield but I didn't show that side as it wasn't the one with the crack (when I first sent it to Ken).

I agree with everyone that Ken did an awesome job fitting the stag and shield and making the knife look like better than new. :cool:
 
Elliott,

It's like getting two new knives from Ken. Not surprised that he did such a great job hooking you up.
