Case backpocket

[glennbad]

Here's a Case backpocket I did in stag. The original covers looked like this..

And here is the finished product...

Dog gone Glen.... you sure had a nice pile of beautiful stag to work with here lately.
You sure 'nuff spruced up that Case!
(Now it's a FRONT pocket Case!)

Glennbad, I've seen enough of your work to know I shouldn't be impressed but expect that kind of beauty but you get me every time. Man that is lovely. Absolutely 'glennbad'!!!!

Gnarly dude ! Looks super.

Gorgeous knife, excellent work.

[Doc B]

Oh, man!!! I just thought it looked good, to begin with!!!!

[hardman]

That is a fantastic mod to that knife. Gnarly stag for sure. You could remove paint from an old barn with those scales. Nice work, beautiful knife!

[bladebuddy]

Good golly gosh Glenn!! That is some beautiful stag on that backpocket. Looking forward to my sodbuster mod you are working on. Thanks for showing us. Steve B.

Great job Glenn. It’s definitely nicer now, but it wasn’t too shabby to begin with!

Awesome scales. Looks great.

Outstanding Glenn!
The way you chose to lay the stag out on the handles and the way that you hafted it is a perfect 10 out of 10!
I'm betting you probably had to thin that stag quite a bit didn't you? That's always a bit of a challenge.
Great job my friend!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Yeah Dale, stag layout and hafting is a bit of a gamble, eh? Even after taking off alot, it was still a bit fat, but I made it work. I've had to scrap a few choices here and there on projects, as it sometimes doesn't turn out the way you envision it. I am also of the school where I don't think the mark and pile side have to match. I try to make them compliment each other in terms of fit and handling. I pretty much let the stag show me how it wants to look.

Glenn, I absolutely love your work with stag and am not just a little bit jealous. What a beautiful masterpiece!

[1967redrider]

That's a beautiful custom job, and the stag is perfect!

[glennbad]

Thanks for the kind words!

[samb1955]

Big improvement in my opinion.

[TPK]

Looks awesome glennbad! You have a way with stag!

[Reverand]

That is one to show off to people! Really top-notch work!

[Colonel26]

Glen you do great work as I well know. In the oddball that doesn’t like gnarly or fat stag at all, but I do admire the talent involved in your work. Very impressive!

Glen I have some questions If you don't mind me asking?

I really like how the stag on this knife is colored. Does it come just like that or do you color it somehow? And, can you pick the specific pieces of stag that you buy or do you just order some stag and you get what you get? Just curious.

The stag on that knife, as well as most of the stag I use, is stag that I have bought from dealers like Culpepper or Masecraft. I'm not sure if they dye it in any way though. I also use amber stag, which is clearly dyed, and I have also experimented with dyeing my own stag.

As to picking out stag, sites like Culpepper don't generally let you see the stag you are getting,but you can request certain types when you order (craggy, smooth, etc.) I appreciate being able to handle the stag before buying though.

Impressive Glenn !! I recently dipped my toes into the backpocket waters - REALLY like that knife & am actually liking carrying alongside my wallet in the back pocket - problem is I keep forgetting its back there as I can't feel it.

[stockman]

Man that is NICE!
