Yes some stag that looks 'delicious' in fact:thumbup:

Testament to the durability of the material, all my stag knives will look like that in a century's time when we will all be long dead

Wish I knew a way of accelerating the ageing process on stag..... Any tips from forgers gratefully received

Those are beauties, Duncan! Stag, it seems, gets better every day you handle it!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Mike, and Charlie, thank you, I just LOVE old Stag, and Charlie you are bang on Stag just gets better and Better.
Mike, I have a few of the good ol' wooden Handled Sheffields etc, They are the most solid tough knives with some of them having massive springs etc, and the snap that will remove bits from your hands lol, they are so old, and yet so neat to look at.
William, ..gee I dont know if anything but time gives you the richness that age does on Stag, I try to tell myself that looking in the mirror these days....it doesnt quite work with us Humans ( dammit )

My pleasure Gents, believe me the feeling is always reciprocated when I look at both both your guys knives.

Just had a very enjoyable time reviewing the wonderful stag posted here. Thanks everyone.

This is the Admiralty Pattern 301 which was the GI British Navy knife circa WWI.

Thanks very much for the comment. It was made by Joseph Allen & Sons.

Such grooved stag on a utility/senior service knife as well!

Interesting that it has a copper bail, any reason for that? Thanks for letting us see this one S-K

I love stag on any knife. These are spectacular.

Noddy, I hope you still have that GEC Moose with the slant bolsters and the 48 single blade? Really fine looking antlers on them!:thumbup:

Thanks, and yes, I was lucky with them. They going no place

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment. Sorry, I don't know the particular reason for the copper bail. This was typical of British Military knives from the 1800s through to about 1940 when they were replaced with steel bails.

Here is a photo of Jos Rodgers stag stash circa 1900 that may be of interest to followers of this thread.
