Thanks JFowl : I certainly have to agree with you on the 18s !!!! I also obtained another one in Sangria and with a sample size of 2 //// there is absolutely nothing about either of them to complain about . They feel little , but they Do Not look little. GEC got it right in the ratios on sizing it down IMO.
Will : Thanks to you too my friend !!! As you know , I was afraid that the 18s were a little small to get Really Good Stag on a repeatable basis . I really have not looked at the other ones other than what was available at CK , or what I call My Knife Shop. I just know what I look for in Stag and when I went through CK's selections , I never saw any others that had what I look for. I am fully aware that differant people look for things about Stag differently than I do and that is fine. I certainly do encourage other people to post their Stag 18s because I Can Not Be the only one that was lucky to get a Stag 18. I think that there was at least 91 of them made.

Nice Pacific Hardware, Lloyd! I've got one, a barlow in smooth bone.
Really cool old knife there. I love those pin heads.
Looks like somebody carved their favorite paper size into the handle

Thank you. The springs are stout; solid 8 pull on both I would say. It takes some attention to get them open, also they snap into the halfstop position with authority as well. This is still new, and I expect it to get a little better after a while. A Northfield with Long Pulls may have helped with opening, but I am happy with the Tidioute version.

One of the best Mondays to date. This took alot of moving parts in a deal but it is finally here. Having one of Ken's older builds (Thanks Jake) to compare to this newer one from 2013 cements Ken as one of my favourite knifemakers.

After the Easter break, this Nothfield Blackwood Coyote finally arrived to me here in Europe.
At first I was aghast, this knife is tiny with a capital 'T' I was expecting a diminutive knife but this was a bit of a shock, the more so as I have small hands for a man and I don't dislike small knives either. But..
.After the initial shock/prejudicial reaction had worn off I examined the knife thoroughly. Extraordinary finish on the one I got anyway, nothing sharp except the edge, wood radiused beautifully like some polished pebble.
Snap: Very good/loud even on a mite
Pull: Around 6
Half-stop. Yes
Gaps when held up to strong light? No
Blade centre: Yes
Pins flush: Yes all 6, no horrible sink holes as can often be on GECs
Shield flush with scale material: Yes
Sharp enough to shave arm-hair: Yes
Blade play: No
Good match mark/pile: Yes, wood dark with some deep grain.
It's growing on me rapidly but it is a Lilliputian
:thumbup:
