Maybe I should have titled it differently; Who doesn't?
This one was made for me by ABS Mastersmith Roger Massey(one of the nicest guys and best makers you'll ever find). I provided the stag, and it was originally supposed to be his version of a Randall Model 3; a large hunter. I had forgotten how large(and, how choice) the piece of stag was, and called him up to verify exactly what he was making. Luckily, he was just starting on the knife. I then asked him if he could stretch it out into a small fighter. Roger never ceases to amaze, and damned if he didn't get an 8" bladed fighter out of it! Blade is 8" of forged, marquenched 52100, with nickel silver fittings. The balance on this knife is unbelieveable! It will rest on one finger, directly behind the guard.

Just picked one up myself.
