Since this thread has come back around, I'll post a few more.

Elk stag: full length figure, great color, nicely rounded, proper thickness, almost perfectly matched.

Sambar stag: well matched, good texture and roundness, moderately thick.

Nice popcorn: beautifully matched, bolster to bolster. This shows the German method of rapidly thinning just the ends of the stag covers to mate up with the bolsters, giving a very slightly thicker handle.

Smaller knife: thicker slabs suit the smaller knife, well rounded and well matched stag.

When these 13's first came out, didn't really know what I wanted in stag but having only a seconds to scan and buy these caught my eye as being "different"....anyways, looking back now can't decide if they are ugly or cool? My preferences have changed since but all stag is unique in my book.
