Beautiful knives and big
Love the stag on them and all three have pleasing blade shape ,thanks for the look at these .

Love it ,never seen one like this.
Looks almost french or Belgian but has the Maltese guards .
The patina is great and love that button ,a rare and unusual one for sure .
Thanks for sharing .

Happy Birthday Terry .
Wishing you all the best my friend and thinking of you over in England .

Look after yourself

Love that ghurka knife you posted with the ivory dots .
That's a high quality knife and a nicely finished blade.
The larger top 1 looks like a first world war example ,a large cache of them was found in India ,again a good blade ,really wanted one .

I have a few but my best is a 1930s ...

Terry I'm after 2 stag antlers to make a display for my Samurai swords so wish I could come on a hunt with you .
I will probably be able to pick some up over here ,want the skull aswell with antlers attached so I can lacquer it in black and gold .
They make a great japanese sword display .

Hope ...

Glad your on the mend Sammy and not in too much pain .
There's life in the olde dog yet .
Hope you and your son are keeping well mate .

She's a beauty .
Love the lines of it and the scales are really special .
Reminds of a shell wrap type pattern but more vivid .

Congrats mate .

I started out to just get a Johnny Cade shell puller knife but kept getting distracted by French and Italians ,along the way .

Buying was hard here in the U.K so I ran a gauntlet with customs and condition ,but never looked back and I am happy with what I ended up with .Problem is for me ...

Nice stag on that AKC Luke .
They are really nice knives with good proportion wish I would have snagged one .

Thanks boots

Luke I hope more people share their stag knives here ,Seen many variants of stag ,nice material to carve aswell ,almost like ivory
That's a lovely Bowie you shared nice stag and love the fuller in the blade,those german knives sure are lovely quality .

Thanks for the look mate

Not surprised your still getting messages ,that's a rare old bird .
It's great to see older posts pop up though ,would have loved that knife myself.

Thanks John
Also love the warty stag I have on this weidmannsheil .

Luke I made the knife you are asking about from an old thin butchers cleaver ,the stag was from an old meat carving set and the knife sharpener had snapped .The guard was from an old horse brass that I fashioned into a guard ..
The cutout was done by me and used to have a filigree fleur de lis in it ...

Was looking through some of my old knives and thought I would share these pictures of some older stag grips .

I think stag is an amazing scale or grip material from nature and the older it gets the better it is .

Wish that was true about myself

Think so hearandgone 'said it was Rex on the listing .
