Stagmania

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Thanks Phil! ::super_happy::

I love to show off (in case you haven't noticed) and because I collect primarily the canoe pattern most of my stag handles are on canoes.

Q, that's a fine herd of horns ya got there!! ::clapping:: The scales on those two lock-backs are particularly outstanding! ::tu:: The Case Bros. is a real looker too. Excellent showing!!

Speaking of Case Bros.....here's one shaped like a canoe (go figure, right?) ::rotflol::

Thanks Doglegg.

When I first started taking pictures of my knives for cataloging purposes I used a plain white or light blue background. That got old pretty quick plus I started posting photos on forums so I try to use props to make the photo interesting without distracting attention from the knife.

Thanks Quick Steel.

I've been told that Case only uses Sambar / India stag.

Very nice old knife Joe. I can't make out any maker's markings in your photos (if there are any). The stag looks like it might be European, reminds me of older Hubertus offerings. But that's just a guess. ::shrug::

Thank you, Charlie.
I was thinking European as well but I really don't know.
There is no stamp on that tang. As far as I know that is pretty unusual.
Thanks for the Hubertus connection. ::handshake::

You're welcome Joe. Back on page 6 I posted an old scout knife from the '60s I believe. It's tang stamp reads "Olivetto". It has stag similar to what is on your knife. Also, like your knife, I have been able to find out nothing about it even though it has a tang stamp. I did find an Italian cutlery company with the name Olivetto but a different logo.....they never answered any of my inquiries. ::shrug::
