Stag regardless of the type only gets better with age and wear

Some great pieces here, well done boys.

I like natural and burnt stag. Here's my contribution, S&M Keystone #69 in burnt sambar stag. I looked around to find one that had the best figure for my tastes. Thrilled with what I ended up with!

It's carried regularly and I'm excited to see it pick up some character in the future.

Beautiful stag shown here.
My favorite handle material.
As long as the pith (the porous core) of the stag isn't showing... IMNSHO the knife might as well have a bent blade too.

My favorite piece of stag that I own


Won't see stag priced like this again...

Note the pith in the center.
