All About Pocket Knives

I like the old George Wolstenholm I*XL knives.
The old ones had such awesome gnarly stag on them they were among the most beautiful stag knives ever made.

This Wharncliffe is much newer, but I thought it would look good in stag, nice gnarly stag. The handle was shrinking a little and starting to warp.

I had this stag taper from a carving set. This piece came from the fork. I cut it in half, after getting it off the fork (no small task) & flattened the pieces on the sander.
Here are a couple quick scans. I will try to get good pics tomorrow.

Nice lookin work Dale!
Hay i've wondered about recycling stag off somthing like that--i got alotta stuff rat holed to work on if i can just get all theses bikes out of my way and set me up a spot fer workin knives--
That knife looks great

Thanks. One of the reasons I posted it was so other people could see what can be some with old material.
BTW- the old cement the cutlers used is a real bear to get off!
I had to heat the fork with an oxy-acetylene torch to get it hot enough to get the glue to loosen.
Tough stuff!!

Great job on that knife Dale, the old I*XL knives are some of my favs too......and you certainly did that one some sweet justice.

Quite nice, Dale.

Looks very "modern", similar to some of the customs I see being produced by today's top makers. That stag came out great.

Excellent job.
