Hi and warm welcome to the forum. Thanks for showing your knives. What is the knife third from the top on the right (folder with stag scale and large bolster) please?
 
sambar stag is top rated of the stags.primarily comes from india
red stag comes from colder european countries german,check.,hungary & i beleive england
our deer & elk stag is much more porous, making a less strong handle
 
It sure is confusing isn't it? Stag is made from deer antlers. The bone comes from cow legs. You can cut it, stain it, burn it, jig it or send it on a holiday and it all just gets down to antlers and legs. Personally I never use the terms stag bone or genuine stag. Stag is stag. Putting genuine in front of it is akin to putting genuine in front of the word water or highway. It is what it is. Bone is bone. If you jig bone to look like stag it is still bone. I call it jigged bone. That's what it is. I've never understood why people put up with hype that attempts to make something out of something else.


A+ in English 401. Thank you for the well written post. :thumbup:
