I just happen to have had this one with me today :)

 
Man, I love this thread! I look forward to admiring your stag every Saturday!
All the examples posted today are noteworthy, IMHO, but I'll just single out two that really induced some longing: the photos, without any written description, posted by Sarah and Brent, are magnificent. :eek::thumbup::thumbup::eek: If either of you has time to write a bit about your knife, I'd sure appreciate it!!

OK, back to work.

Thanks! Here's what I know (from a previous post, snuck into the Traditional Sunday Picture Show last week end :)):

The knife arrived Friday, in a passel of surprises from a friend.

It is 3.5" long (closed) with a full blade...

I need to take better pictures of the pile side stag, and of the knife's profile (width). I've seen sleek, well-fitted stag before, and stag with a lot of character, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one this slim with this much character.

Thanks for asking!

Thanks for telling, Sarah! What a tasteful, yet earthy, old knife! Congrats!
