Thank You!

I like the detail in it and the fact that they hid the pins that hold it on so well ::nod:: 8)

Great looking knives Rocky! I especially like the stag Solingen , second knife in the first picture...with the red shield with the buck's head on it, very nice! That would be one to show off around the table in deer camp. Who is the maker on that one? Any chance you have a pic with the blades open?

Thanks Mike! This is a Premier edition Red Stag 1 of 300 this is #69. Made by Goodwin Cutlery in Chattanooga,Tn.
Beautiful knife! Don't know much about this Co. if they are based in U.S. and had them made in Soligen. Maybe we'll get a hit on this and find out more. ::tu::

Phew, that is one classy lookin' knife there Rocky! Even got the Red Stag on the main blade... Can't say I've ever seen Chatanooga on a tang stamp before! Outstanding looking stockman. Would be interesting to find out the Solingen-Chatanooga connection...

I think I might have posted one of these before, but when Bob posted the shield, I thought I would show a couple of the knives that go with them.

With the big day fast approaching, I haven't had much time to post this week. :|

Bob, didn't Blue grass Cutlery use a shield like this on some of their reproduction Winchester knives? I think I remember seeing a large 2 bladed Winchester trapper with a shield something like yours.


Rocky, the red handled Souther States knife at the top in the second picture, who made that?

I found a current made Winchester large Mountain Man Bob that has the shield like yours. So Blue Grass used them.

Here is an interesting crisp double finned "Bomb" shield on an old ebony handled 4" surveyor pattern double-ended jack, marked:

M. SELLER & CO. (arched) / S.S.S.

Not my knife.

Left click to enlarge.
