Great Stag around here!!! ::ds::
The only reason I have this lockback is because of the handle material. It's not really a pattern that I would normally seek out. :roll: But I just couldn't resist the stag.
She's a hand full at 5 1/4" closed , AJAX CUTLERY SHEFFIELD tang stamp. If it were a coin it would be classified as "harshly cleaned" or over buffed. ::td::

Does anyone remember where I read the post about how the Sheffield makers processed the stag to color ,soften,press,and whatever they did?

I read a great post or link to some of this history ,just can't seem to get the right search result.

If I remember right,they formed it after softening it,which allowed the shape of the stag to come right against the bolsters.

I hope someone finds it .

I do have this,but I thought I had read more:

Beautiful stag with great character, which certainly holds true of all the previous posted knives.
