GW #2 Stag Knife

Post by emily briley 8 »

I have a nice stag Knife of unknown origin. I'm posting it in this forum in hopes that someone might have some information about it, it's maker or it's history.

Note: It's been in our family as long as I can remember and I'm 54, so I'm also unsure of it's age.

I have attached pictures. Thank you, in advance, for any information about this cool knife!!

Was anyone in your family with the initials “GW”? Likely not telling anything you don’t already know. Hand/home made knife. Appears to be the second one the person made. Beginning makers often use electric pencil engraver to mark their knives. Appears to be a well made knife with attractive handle. Hope someone can help with the id. Might mention the State the knife came from if you know. That can help
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

A beautiful knife!
Handmade knife, looks like Sambar Stag handle, and a handmade sheath.
I have no idea of the maker, but he did well if that was only his second knife!
