Outstanding Rob

Yes I do but its been many years since I've made one. Every year for Christmas I think I'll make some and never do get round to it. Took me a while to find a pic:

Here's another:

And some current knives:

I wasn't sure Dave, that's a fine array of stag goodies my friend

I have wondered that myself, I thought maybe to break the wire cage on champagne corks. I don't think so though, my family were farmers, carpenters etc in Rural Champaign County Ohio and the thought of them sipping champagne doesn't quite fit.

A lot of European beers used to come with caged corks, some still do

Mentioned this one in another thread. Figured I’d give it some pocket time. In a knife purse, of course

Way on the other side of the spectrum from gnarly…but this Case Classic from ‘95 has its charm.

Yes, a red stag #72 from 2010.

Absolutely stunning Jeff. Crazy about red stag. Thank you for sharing pics of this gem, one for my dream list.

I've been carrying some of my favorite stockman examples this week, and a couple of them have stag handles.
Both are Rough Riders, one a medium stockman and one a sowbelly stockman:

I received this answer in the Kitchenware section.

I found this on a site that sells antiques.

Quote- "The point or tip you see on the cap lifter was designed to aid in the removal of the Baltimore loop seal. The Baltimore loop seal was invented in the 1880's by William Painter and used into the 1900's. It was a small rubber seal used as a stopper on glass bottles which had a wire bail/loop extending out of it which required a tool to ease in the removal of the stopper" -end of quote.

That was part of the description attached to the item pictured below. Have you checked to see if yours unscrews to expose a corkscrew?
