Hi there. I'd like to purchase a nice stockman for my BIL, and I plan on getting stag scales. I don't have any good knife stores near where I live, so I will have to purchase it online. The only problem is that most sites only show you "representative" pictures of their knives, and not the actual one that would be sent to you. While I totally understand why they do this, it does make it very hard to ensure that I'm buying a knife with really good stag, since I can't see it first. I know that I can ask the retailer to pick out a knife with the nicest stag (for the limited number of retailers who will do that), but even if they do hand select, there is still no assurance of exactly what I'd be getting.

Finally getting to point (you were hoping, huh? ;)), can you recommend an online retailer who posts pictures of the actual knives and not just "representative" knife pictures AND who has a decent selection of traditional slipjoints? Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW, I'd like to keep the cost of this whole undertaking to <$250.
 
Take a look at Great Eastern Cutlery. They have a Cuban Stockman in their lineup that might be just what you're looking for. I can't help you with a list of vendors, but all the GEC knives I've seen with stag had outstanding scales.
