Greetings all,

From the earliest days of my knife nuttery, the combination of a stag handle and a damscus blade has ranked among my very favorites. The waxining and waning of of good stag supply over the years has meant that I couldn't always scratch that persistent itch, but in terms of custom orders it probabyl sits behind only walnut / carbon as my most requested.

So how about sharing some pics for us all to enjoy? It can be a knife you made, a knife you own or just a knife you admire. So long as the handle is stag and the blade is damascus, post it up please!

I'll start with a few, past and present.

1) Russ Andrews.

When "bowie" is added to the "stag and damscus" description, the results usually make me smile. This one puts me into a fit of giggles.

2) Bruce Bump

This one was mine, but now resides in the RogerP wing of the Murray White Museum of Modern Knives:

3) Ron Newton

A blast from the past, this piece is long, lean and lovely.

So let's see some more, please!

Ownership is NOT required my friend - if you have seen anything in that combo that particularly strikes your fancy, feel free to post it up.

Dave - thanks for the pics - many excellent examples there!
 
Great thread Roger!I will chime in with some of my favorites that I have made in the past, although most of mine are elk stag and not sambar.



And one I used to own by Dave.
 
Nice knives John and thanks for post what is perhaps my favorite feather chief of all of them I ever made.
 


There is no other knife that I want more than this. It's nigh perfect.
 
I have no stag Damascus bowies.

Do folders count??





Or small EDC's



Or Hunters?



That's all I have with that combo.
 
Great stuff gents - and yes, folders definitely count.

I remember that Ruth Jr. S guard piece well, and the stag Sendero is an absolute honey.

And that Rhea.... :cool:
 
Bill Bagwell, damas storm at sea

Gotta have some Sobral in this thread! I fell instantly in love with this one when I first set eyes on it;

 
The one's that impress me the most are the ones which look like the maker shaped them to the knife, THEN had them stabilized/colored-if that makes any sense to you guys.
