My only stag right now, LT Wright coyote.
I love this picture (I kinda have a thang for playing cards
, but it's a sweet composition regardless).
Reasonably or not, I still miss Blind Horse Knives, but am glad to see each of the founders moving forward with new production.
I love stag.
They become more special when they are made by friends.
"Given by friends" renders a knife a certain kind of special; I can only imagine how "made by friends" inestimably adds to each piece's value. :thumbup:

Lovely knives all, Bastid, but I especially like the wharncliffe whittlers. The one on the lower left looks to be on a different frame than the others.

Now, set them all upright and take a top-down shot, please, so I can see the width of the beautiful stag, as fitted to each knife.
Thanks for telling, Sarah! What a tasteful, yet earthy, old knife! Congrats!
(The Traditional Sunday Picture Show is a recurring thread I haven't started "following" yet; don't have time to read 'em all lately.)
I know what you mean about keeping up with threads; I miss being able to, but am glad to find y'all carrying on here (and there, and over in that one) whenever I can get here.
I had hoped to get here yesterday, the Actual Saturday, to post yet more follow-up pictures of my sma' stag beauty, but here we are today. I'll take it.
(Some of the images are repeats, but I wanted to put them all here together.)
The knife in question, a 3.5" Sheffield from the early 1900s:
The blade is the dickens to photograph, being all shine-shiny, but it is all there, reflections at the tip notwithstanding:
Here's where the magic happens: note the deeply channeled character of the stag...
... and understand that it's hafted this slimly:
Abutting a two-bladed TC barlow for comparison:
"Tasteful, earthy, yet old"-- great description!
