Nice that it's Barehead too, a lot of Stag character can get lost by docking the end with another bolster

Eugene Shadley knows how to select stag! And makes a fantastic knife! View attachment 1305167View attachment 1305168
yep, all bark and very nice.Not only does he select good stag, he doesn't grind off much of the bark to fit to the bolsters. It would be a terrible waste to grind the area near the bolster smooth to make up for a poor fit.
That really is some outstanding stag for a Case knife.![]()
