What makes these ACSBs so cool, is how they all look so different and unique like Stag.
Nice group shot, Kevin. After looking at many different patterns one at a time in isolation, it's easy to start thinking all ACSB looks pretty much the same. But when looking at them side by side in a group it's clear that no two are exactly alike, even knives of the exact same pattern (see the two #51T Mini Trappers I posted earlier and the two #41s below). When I look at most ACSB, I still have a hard time believing it's not genuine stag; it often looks more like stag than a lot of stag I've seen. Queen #41 Copperhead (Lansky1 Wharncliffe mod) and #41L Mini Hunter (Liner Lock)
Thanks Q! Love the Copperhead Wharncliffe Mod. and the #69 Bomber Jack in your other post is Fanstastic!

Great show everyone! I agree Q... What makes these ACSBs so cool, is how they all look so different and unique like Stag. Here are my Queens & a Moki.

F A B U L O U S!!! Wow is all I can think of at the moment.
Last one in my ACSB collection (for now). This is yet another knifeaddict1965 acquisition bringing the total number of ACSB knives I got from Kevin to four (#2, #20, #40, #64). I know I said it would be hard if not impossible to choose a favorite, but I must admit I am especially attracted to the coloring on this Canoe--the Amber is so vibrant it looks like hot embers glowing in the dark after the flames of a campfire have died down. It is so mesmerizing I barely notice the upside down shield--which, truth be told, only makes this one even more unique and extra special in my book; it's all a matter of perspective.

Queen #64 Canoe
Haha... I was so taken with the beautiful ACSB, that I didn't even notice the shield was upside down when I got the knife. That just means it's a rare one of a kind and would probably be worth at least twice its value on eBay.

Wow! How did two whole months slip by without me visiting this thread?
Really love the Teardrop #06L, TMK...definitely one of my favorite patterns.
And I'm so glad you showed it next to your 2012 Chattahoochee Cutlery Club knife so folks can see the difference between ACSB and a jigged amber bone handle. Often it's helpful to see a side by side comparison.
Here's another side by side look at some ACSB (large toothpick) and regular jigged amber bone (tiny toothpick)

Beautiful pair Q, really shows the difference between Amber bone and Amber Carved Stag Bone. Such cool color.
Toomany, that's a gorgeous TDrop. Congrats on that one big time.
Really enjoyed going back through the thread. Every contribution here is a looker. Thanks to everyone who posted.

Thanks so much, ~Q~. I did that because I was too lazy to take a separate picture of the teardrop! Ha! Those two you have are awfully nice, also. You have a great collection, for sure!

ACSB is magic.
You got that right!
So nice to see a Canal Street in this thread. That Muskrat is gorgeous! I've been looking for a CS with ACSB (that I can afford) to add to my collection...have to keep saving my nickels and dimes, they are very popular and don't come cheap.
