Thanks a lot, SAK Guy!
This week at work was pretty tough and discouraging, but the arrival of this knife (and another "shipment" I ordered recently) sure helped to balance things out a bit!

Thanks, Harry! You should get one. The stag IS nice, but I think Europeans and Americans "process" their stag differently. I think stag from American makers tends to be darker and "gnarlier" (if that's a word), while European makers tend to have smoother and lighter-colored stag. (Of course, I'm basing my generalizations almost entirely on pictures! )

I took delivery on a new Remington Sportsman Series Insignia Edition Peanut this week. Seems like a very well-built knife, and I think its burl wood covers are very appealing; I can just stare at them while I move the knife around to catch the light in various ways. It's like a Work of Art for under $10!

But the main reason I bought it is to match a Remington canoe that I've enjoyed immensely since I picked it up at a gun and knife show last spring!

My newest addition is a 735111T in Burnt Stag. These are the sellers photos, if it stops raining I hope to get some of my own.

The 73 seems to be another quintessential must have knife..and that one is a stunner Ron! I've taken an extreme liking to a drop point blade as well

Tim - Thanks buddy! A must have, carries a lot like a #47, which I know you have a fondness for.
One big difference between the two is the pull. The 73's tend to be quite a bit more than a #47, which is a problem for some people.

GT It may also be to do with the type of stag used or rather, the breed of deer. Much contemporary European Stag appears to come from the Red Deer which gives a smoother , whiter more pithy antler not unlike the American Elk. Whereas, Sambar Stag from India is often more gnarled and complex, it may be naturally darker but American and Japanese makers frequently dye it with amongst many other things, potash, or torch it. All stag ages or takes colour dye very well but European makers seem to leave it whiter looking from the start.

Thanks, Will

A Winchester and a Boker. The Boker looks like the new Washington Jacks. It is a little bigger.
