Yep you did good, nice popcorn elk

Always wanted a Buck Sambar Stag handled fixed blade knife. But, these days, they are out of my price range. So, I decided to get the next best thing. I got a Buck Elk Stag fixed blade knife. The more bark, the better. I think I got a pretty good one. Not Sambar, but still nice.

Very interesting large knife, considerable vintage too with fine Stag&construction. Why do you call it a Red Cross knife though?? It looks like a Rope knife that might have been part of a Royal Navy sailor or officer's carry. If it's 1907 it's a fair number of years before The Great War.

See p. 132, BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH MILITARY KNIVES by Ron Flook.


This knife has no broad arrow mark, as I understand, because it was made for private purchase to be sent as a gift to servicemen. I can't remember where I read the rest of that story. T-A

My favorite piece of Sheffield stag

Every time I see this I think it's got just about perfect texture for stag. And they did a good job cutting it, with no bark ground off.

the-accumulator Many thanks for the pics&reference, don't own that book unfortunately. What is the full caption above plate 299 please? It says something about 'style' Your example is better looking than the caption, again , very interesting

Regards, Will
