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.

Charlie, those 23's seem to have been made to be rehandled and that one is a good example. Very pretty knife. Glad it is yours. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Muskrat Man gave it the new stag scales and a polish job. He did a fine job. ::super_happy::

I love the little 5107W CV Rancher. Got my first one from a dealer when it was released in 2011 and recently picked up another one dated 2013. These little guys are getting kinda hard to find now; must be popular (probably because a lot of people like CV steel).

It should look familiar too QS, since I had a senior moment and forgot that I had posted that knife just back up the page a bit. ::facepalm:: ::rotflol::

Thanks Tom!

This old knife has some cool stag on it. It was brought to America by an Israeli immigrant in the '50s. The cutler's name is Olivetto but I haven't been able to find any information on it.

Well, Squach, a beauty like that can never be posted too many times...it's always a pleasure to look at again....and again! :lol:
That shadow stag Olivetto is pretty sweet as well. ::tu::

I just happened to notice that this thread is in the "Case Knife Collector's Forum" but we seem to have veered off of strictly Case Stag--which is fine by me since a lot of Case stag is really not all that interesting due to their tendency to remove so much bark/character when hafting (except on the older models).

Although increasingly hard to find (especially on USA made factory knives), I prefer a stag handle that has gnarly bark that extends from bolster to bolster. This 1994 Hen & Rooster 212DS comes pretty close to meeting that criteria.

Your spear point Bowie looks very well done. The stag seals the deal.

I agree. The stag on that H&R is nice. Here's one you might like.

If you're talking about my post on the previous page QS, it's a Case Rio Grande Camp Knife and it's quite a handful.

Q, I prefer "big bark" as well, which is one of several reasons I favor Bull Dog knives.
