Wow!!$123 for the 2 blade stag at KSF. I think maybe I have enough 14's.

Nice looking Stag on the few that remain. Greg are you thinking $123 is high ?
I paid $101 for the 2 blade with jigged Antique Yellow bone.

It's such a smallknife Roland. I'm thinking $123 might be better spent elsewhere.

I agree. I passed on the stag also...

The two blade elderberry and golden brown jigged bone versions are now available on SMKW. They are listed under the Cripple Creek brand.

They sure seem to be asking quite a bit on these... Just my thoughts.

Doc Holiday once said that my Hypocricy only goes so far Wyatt. Apparentlly my hypocrisy knows no bounds as I said I would pass on this stag 2 Blade 14. As has happenened before though that is not the case and I shall try to rationalize my purchase by noting that rewards points decreased my purchase price to $93 So what else could I do?

I can't imagine how much their stag handled one will be.

Frank's Classic Knives has the Elderberry and Golden Brown for $5 less than SMKW.

The Northwoods Harrison Bay is a GEC #14. The kudu one sold at $200 (o.k. $199). I have one from ebay for $220. The kudu is translucent, like acrylic. It is attractive but i would not buy a kudu again for this price differential. I'm o.k. with $200 for mammoth but not kudu. Giraffe bone has been 'better' than the kudu and close to on par with the mammoths & the mastodons.

I would agree with that assesment Roland . The kudu is no more than an acrylic handle knife at twice the price I feel cheated. KsF had better get their act together on this next round or customers will be lost.

It is difficult to pass these up with the awesome sambar stag that ALL these knives seem to have. I am kinda confused though, how come your picture doesn't have a clip point blade? Is this a different year's knife? Thanks.

Do you expect that the stag version of the Cripple Creek and the white bone Lick Creek will come out next week?

The Lick Creek has shipped from GEC according to: https://bladeforums.com/threads/new-14- ... t-18505431

The Cripple Creek stag not listed as completed yet on the GEC blog, ironwood and micarta also not complete yet.

Thanks for everyone's patience.
I can’t hardly wait to get one in my hands.
I just checked USPS tracking, expected delivery Monday for my knives (

or

I waver). Hopefully I can get some mailed out. Getting real anxious myself.

This is not my first SFO, but it is the first of the Lick Creek Cutlery Co stamped knives.

Thanks to all of those who have been supportive now and over the years, especially Charlie C and Bill Howard.

I was all set to post this last night and I don't know what distracted me . I didn't remember until I read this thread this morning.

Larry that photo was just a stock photo I grabbed from the net. Mine came on Saturday and has the clip and pen blades but I had to leave town this morning and didn't get to take any pics.

Were you able to get some of those jewels out?

wlf · Post by **wlf** » Wed Oct 31, 2018 1:14 pm

Expected delivery in CONUS of the first batch ( those contacting me around or before the end of July
