Stag Saturday - Let's See Some Traditional Stag!

[Mikael W]

Saturday was too busy to post a pic.
The day ended with cutting out the profile of a leatherpouch for the 78.


I already have a pouch for the user 78, but I'm gifting two 78's to our two girl's boyfriends.
I bought one in Ebony and one in White Bone, both singleblades.
The small pouches I want for these are no longer availible and I'll have to make them myself.
Of course I used my own 78 to cut the leather.

Regards
Mikael

Thanks guys, it is an unusual knife, they are timber scribes, the end is a u shaped gouge and was used to mark lumber, timber, crates, etc. They were made by many English and American knife companies, this one probably dates from 1900 or so.

Thanks a lot for the info, Augie.
I've heard the term "timber scribe", but I don't recall ever actually seeing one in person or in photo before.

Got this at the flea market (one block from the house) this morning.
Some wear on the box but the set appears new and unused.

Very nice, robinpeck ! I'd have jumped on that one myself.

Antique stag carving set. Roe Deer antlers. I picked this up at a general auction in Vancouver, B.C. about 30 years ago. I think I paid $20. Blade is 9 in. and marked "Virtue & Co. Stirling" (Scotland, I assume) Silver is hallmarked to Thomas Turner, Sheffield, 1888. I used this set quite often back when I was doing a lot of deer shooting, cooking and eating venison.

It will be Sarurday when I get home from the cinema. Thought my Queen pruner needed sime pocket time. While I prefer the Northfield in fit and finish, the size of the Queen fits my big mitts better for working. They both walk and talk very nicely

We'll go with the 66 for the day.

 

[Falling_rain]

Well, another 66 and one more beer after dinner.
