Sambar Stag Folder

Dave Kelly · Apr 7, 2004

Hi, The new owner of this knife couldn't decide between wood and stag for the scales so I gave him both. Here's the sambar stag version. Just out of curiosity do other makers offer more than one set of scales on a screw together knife. Thanks, Dave

Beautiful! I love the fileworked accent between the scales and bolsters.

Offering alternative scales is something I haven't seen before, but I like the idea. You could wear stag on those every day outings, or replace them with some classy wood or pearl for those special occasions.

Speaking only for myself.....HELL NO! I consider it lucky to get the first set to turn out right

What you just did is going the extra mile, I hope the customer realizes it.

Very nice knife by the way,great style and you put a lot of detail into it

I like the knife and love the stag, I personally couldn't imagine swapping the stag out for wood...any wood. But, that's just me.

Very nice looking knife. I only offer one set of scales on my folders.

I'm actually most impressed by the fileworked spacer. That's the first time I've seen that done, and you did an EXCEPTIONAL job of it. Very nice effect.... I feel a trend starting here, and I hope you get credit for it!

I've seen scale "packages" a couple of times, but that's pretty rare. Most often a buyer sends a knife back for different scales and winds up with a spare. Obviously, if they are epoxied, that's not an option...

I can see offering more than one set of scales with this type of knife but certainly not on the higher end knives that some of you guys make.

Steve, I can't take credit for the file worked stacked spacers. I've always admired them on fixed blades so I thought I would try it on one of my folders. Another maker by the name of Dennis Greenbaum (sp ? sorry) did something similar but his was a carved piece of art attached to the bolster.

Thanks, Dave
