Thanks Larry. Here's some more. That old well loved XX Trapper in the first batch was my dad's. The 10-dot 53087 below is one I carried briefly back in the early 1970s.

Sweet showing of Case Stag everybody. Really takes me back to when I first started collecting (as opposed to merely accumulating) knives...Case stag folders were my first serious collecting love. Here are a few newer ones that I have (the ones I can find photos of):

Here is my newest stag. I got it about 5 days ago. The knives I have
purchased recently have all been stags. I like other handles too,but stag
is just special--- no two are the same, very durable ( no out gassing), a
material that is hand crafted.

I love the CV material, slight bumps and bruises, age, and half stop on this:
Medium Texas Jack, 3.64 in, 56 gm, 1964 or earlier.

Lots of beautiful Case stag to look at in this thread. Here is a picture of three different Case 2 blade equal end patterns (30, 45, 94) in stag. These knives have been posted individually in other threads.

The 05230 1/2, 05245 1/2, and 5294J bear a strong resemblance, but are different sizes. The 30 pattern is 3 1/4 inches, the 45 pattern is 3 5/8 inches, and the 94 is 4 1/4 inches. The 45 and 30 are sometimes difficult for me to distinguish, especially in pictures. The 94 is a noticeably larger knife.

I have not seen a 2 blade spear main blade (i.e. not a 1/2 pattern) in stag for the 30 or the 45. There is a 05294 from the pre-Tested era.

I don't believe there is a stag rendition of the 3 blade 30 pattern in any Case era. There are 3 blade 45's in stag on pre-Tested examples and 3 blade stag 94's in Tested and earlier in the cigar variant (5394 1/2) and the gunboat variant (5394). The 94 also has a stag 2 blade gunboat variant (5294X).

Jerry all of those knives are of course quite beautiful , but what I find interesting is the stark contrast of the 3 handles from the same period . I suppose that's one of the reasons for stags popularuty. Each knife has its own signature. ::tu:: ::nod::

Thanks Greg. The first image I posted is a mash-up of 3 separate pictures and makes for a poor comparison. I would agree that every stag handle is different even front to back on the same knife. My observation is the "gnarliness" factor increase with size of the knife especially on the old Case stag because the stag is thin and well proportioned (which I like), but gets thicker as the size of the knife increases. These pictures are better to show size and thickness. The 94J has 2 backsprings while the 30 and 45 have a single backspring.

I was wondering how long it would take for this to flush you out Jerry. Looking at your knives is always impressive. I know you have more in that pile.
Great Knifes.
