Here's a few pics of my newest that arrived in the mail Saturday. LT Wright Frontier First model in a flat grind A2 steel at 5-1/2" oal. I love the stag handles and the black liners add to the looks. Been wanting a small fixed blade for some time to use as a belt or neck carry and this one will work both ways. Used it right after unboxing to cut a deer skin lanyard and it sliced thru like butter. Made a quick antler button from a deer shed this morning.
It's small handle requires a three finger grip and putting my pinky finger thru the strap between the butt of the knife and the antler button assures that it won't be accidentally dropped. Really like this knife, one of my smarter buys for sure. :)
Thanks for lookin'

Thanks doglegg, I gotta say I've only had it for about 48 hrs but I bet I've taken it outta the sheath 50 times already to fondle and stare at and have convinced myself that I'm quite please with it. :D

Here are two Puma White Hunters with vastly different stag handles. The popcorn stag is on a near mint pre-1964 model.

I know 'popcorn' Stag is highly prized by many collectors but to me it looks like the knife handle has neurofibromatosis, a condition of small rounded white-ish tumors all over the body. The rounded 'popcorn' bumps on the Stag really do look like the 'bumps' of 'elephant man disease'.

LOVE the popcorn stag knifeknut, beautiful look, great grip texture, beautiful one of a kind like no other. Like cave mineralization on a stalactite. That is mother nature's artwork that no man can reproduce. Looks gnarly, groovy and fabulous. Sweet knives both, but that bumpy stag is the killer. Sweeeeeeet LT also Sunknife, love the bead and the thong addition.

Great shot, thought it was "knife photography" for a second. Excellent.

Here is a fixed blade I picked up yesterday that is a bit of a mystery to me. A drop point hunter with 1/8th thick concave ground blade,brass half guard and black Micarta handles. Leather sheath of seemingly good quality. The only mark is a number (61707) stamped into the tang.
My first thought was "Pacific Rim" origin but now I'm wondering. The fit and finish seem to be very good. Any ideas who may have made it?

Here's an old Solingen-made Freidrich Plucker Jr. knife that was gifted to me by my wife's uncle. He was stationed in Germany in the fifties, and picked this up. Knice old knife I think.

The ball and claw pommel is a classic design element. Do you know what the handle material is. I'm thinking sterling silver?
