Re: Epic STAG THREAD
Here are a few of the stag fixed blades I’ve made over the years. One on the far left is elk.

Re: Epic STAG THREAD
Appreciate it quick steel. I worked in a body shop and always kept a knife going for times when I didn’t have a car to work on.

Re: Epic STAG THREAD
Thank you for your reactions Olddad, Gary, Reverend, and Dan. My Bulldog knives give me a lot of pleasure. A knife like this is hardly practical, but I think it's a fine demonstration of the craftsman's skill.
Re: Epic STAG THREAD
You are very welcome, Garry. It is always a pleasure seeing representatives of such a nice and diverse collection! By the way, I always have a hard time gauging the size of a sunfish without a reference...how long is that one?

Re: Epic STAG THREAD
Personally, I'm not a fan of the Sunfish/Elephant Toe pattern, but if I could find one with gnarly stag on it like yours, Garry, I would be proud to add it to my collection. Truly outstanding, top grade stag.

Re: Epic STAG THREAD
In this case it is the epic nature of the entire knife that brings the stag to this post. A Master Craftsman was turned loose on this 5 bladed tribute to the Bulldog logos used over time. The stag scales are evenly balanced, the runups are tight, fine walk and talk, and perfect blade alignment. I don't know if it is still possible for the Olbertz factory, or any other, to produce this level of quality today.

Thank you Nev. I don't know what caused the double posting. Too late to delete it now.
Re: Epic STAG THREAD
Thing of beauty QuickS, that's incredible how they got the five springs to line up so well. And great antlers.
