Steve, glad to see another one pop up, they are great looking Congress knives.

Terrific knives John and Steve. Great information Eric. Love the discussion.

The O.P. knife has the same type of stag that i have seen on other SCC and early S-W knives. The stag on Steve's knife above does not look like Schrade stag that i have seen previously.
I hope Eric sees this and comments.

Roland I wouldn't doubt the legitimacy of that knife at all, it's just a LOT more pocket worn.

I agree with Eric.

Thank you Eric & Paul. I very much appreciate your confirmation of this as Schrade stag.

Finding an existing thread on Schade stag is about as tough as finding one of the knives. The 972 is a beauty and the OP stumbled upon his pretty much the same way I found my stag congress - it was an auction listing that cruised under the radar. My last second bid was exponentially higher than what the knife sold for.

Beautiful Schrade Cut Co knife but not a "congress". It is a 4 blade senator, a top of the line knife and often the most expensive pattern sold.

Beautiful Jason, great buy, stag Schrade's just don't become available all that often, I expect most are buried deep in collections.

Beautiful knives guys. You teaching this old dog new tricks. I've never seen, nor did I know that Schrade Cut Co made any stag handled knives. Especially with this jimping. Now I will have to keep my eyes open for sure.
