Stagmania

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Some real beauties in this thread...I can look at stag all day and never get tired.
Sometimes just the right light really brings out the character in stag.
Here's my antique stag Copperlock mod in late afternoon sun filtered through a window screen.

What's better than cabin fever? Stagmania!

These pictures are of a Case Tested XX 5171L switchblade. When the blade is closed pressing the lever springs the blade open. When open, the blade is locked open and the pressing the lever unlocks the blade so it can be closed. The 71 is the large variation at 5 3/8" closed. The Tested 5171's have a variety of marks that are used on the lower bolster including "Case's Tested XX" like this example has, plus "Case Tested XX" and the circle mark with "Case XX Tested" stamped inside the circle. I don't know the significance of the various bolster marks, but would guess they are an indicator of age. For example, I would expect the circle mark to be older because it was used in the Bradford era preceding Tested XX.
