Hi all,
I only have one (vintage) Stacked Leather Handle Knife (are they considered full tang btw ?)
Mine is a vintage CASE "CASES SPORTSMAN" Hunting Knife that measure 8.5" OAL with a 4.5" Blade
and 4" (albeit a bit too small/short for my XXL Hand) Handle due to it's Mushroom pommel.

The CASE Blade is also thinner than all my other (Hunting/Survival type Knives) with a thickness that appears to be 3/32's.
I rather like this thinner blade as I suspect it will be an excellent Cutter/Slicer
(I will use either an Axe/Hatchet/Tomahawk and/or my vintage 12" Blade Lamb Chopper/Splitter if I feel the need to "Chop".
Of all the knives I own, there is just "something" about this Knife (type) I'm loving. As mentioned, overall size, weight,
blade shape and thickness and "feel" of that old STACKED LEATHER HANDLE.
I dunno, perhaps I'm just becoming a sentimental old fool.
I hope to one day have a "Custom" made "Tribute Knife" made (with slightly longer handle) based on this style of Knife.
So, come on BF members, let's see your STACKED LEATHER HANDLE knives!
Thanks,
HARDBALL
