That beauty is just begging to be added to the Sunday Stag thread, Greg!gsmith7158 wrote:Well I notched #2 of 7 in my quest for a discount set of 1978 stag red etch knives Yesterday. A 5347 that was a steal. The Red Etch set will complete my quest for all of the 70's stag sets. Only 5 to go!
I'm quite certain it's peachseed bone and it has threaded bolsters, which was not common on the later delrin models so that's another good indication. Listed as a walden and blades look pretty good. Bone or not it should be good for the price of lunch with a tip. 
Thanks OH ! I have been trying to get the best the best looking stag at the cheapest price for this set.Old Hunter wrote:Greg, that is a FINE looking Case 5347 - nice stag! OH
That mini trapper is a handy little puppy.

Jerry, stretching it to two knives (plus the Case tribal spears I reserved today, total impulse buy -- oh and the two 72s that arrived todayjerryd6818 wrote:Tony, I love, love, love that pattern. I wish I could afford to buy one of each handle material produced. Sigh.

The rotten banana bone was the only thing that could have flipped me on the 66. I know they haven't announced two of the bone styles yet but I'm rolling the dice it won't be RBB. I still want one, I just need to teach myself knife-discipline.jerryd6818 wrote:I'm all set on 66s. I have a Serpentine Jack in Rotten Banana Bone and have decided that will hold me.
I know, I know. The only saving grace this time was that it wasn't an equal-end pattern. I already put in reservations on the Big Jack and on my phone I thought the 66 was a cattle knife. When I realized it was serpentine, I decided to skip it. Got enough serpentine stockman knives to choke a whole field of steer.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:What's the matter with you, a perfect medium stockman and you don't want one?
It'll be bittersweet to see everyone's lovely new knives, I know it, but them's the sacrifices of a middle-class knife addict!
