Brand new today :D
The action was sluggish. Blasted it with WD40 and worked it a few times and now the action is smooth with nice solid lockup. Typical CSC Pinch action :thumbsup: A little corrosion inside. Nothing serious. I don't think it ever saw oil 😟
The blade isn't even close to centered, but...eh shrug.png
One small crack that doesn't seem to go anywhere and isn't at a pin hole. Overall another nice Pinch lockback:)

I love the way these old, Stag knives were finished!! The Antler handles just "fill the frame!!"
From the top;
>I*XL Wostenholm small congress (4 blade)
>Needham Brothers Farm Knife (3 blade utility)
>Taylor Eye Witness (2-blade English jack)
>Harrington (English Jack, Germany) (a good imitation of Stag, with Jigged Bone) 😁 Called "Stag" in the old days

What Else
 
waynorth waynorth Fantastic line-up of The Old School, Charlie :cool: That big Harrington lockback certainly had very complex/random jigging which at first glance could look like Stag, especially when agéd . What skill and such a quality of Stag and fitment after all these decades. Fact is, Stag is really durable stuff - it can take changes in humidity in its stride, is more 'elastic' or springy than bone thus resists cracking or being dropped better and mellows so satisfyingly! Not that bone is bad either:D

Thanks, Will
