Well, I need the opinions of the esteemed traditional group. I'd been wanting a sow belly pattern for some time, and figured why not stag and CV? I didn't have the option of handling so I had to order sight unseen. I must say blade grind, centering, walk and talk are all very nice and no fit/finish issues whatsoever. But the stag, the stag just isn't speaking to me. Is it too cold, too gray? Too untoasty, too bland? Talk to me folks and give your honest opinion. Will it develop character over time with use? Did I expect too much?

Brian, I am envious of that combo. If I could go back in time and buy only a few knives at the start of my sharp-thing enthusiasm, I might just go with those two.
Driving across the state today to help my son move. I'll have the Vic Climer and the peanut with me for today's tasks.
Great-looking knife sir![]()
Thanks, Jack. It's a really nice overall size @ 6.8", with a 3" blade. And I'm blown away by that piece of bocote. It's nicely offset by red liners, which you can't see in the pic.
