Very nice, Stan!

I like that rather rough look.

[CaseChaserXX]

Here's some I'd like to share a few pictures of.

[Another Knife Collector]

What a great group of knives everyone's shown here!

Here's an old Case I just got.

[CaseChaserXX]

Very Nice, I only have a few Fixed blade knives, I think your talking me into looking around for some

Stag knives just keep showing up here. It is amazing material! And it's like snowflakes; no two alike. Here's a nice single backspring Case from the late 1960s.

[Gunsmoke47]

I really like that Case Charlie!

[jonet143]

cool knife charlie. is that case's vintage stag?

[upnorth]

I'm not sure why it's so white, Johnnie. It makes it look like North American deer stag, but as far as I know, it is Sambar. I don't believe it is re-handled.

[muskrat man]

Nice case Charlie, not to try and detract from your beautiful knife, but it looks to me to be professionally rehandled, but i've been known to be wrong before.

[jonet143]

looks very much like the later stag case knives with v preceeding the pattern#. they did not seem to toast them.

[upnorth]

Well, I never say never! It could be, MM, but Tony Foster has seen it, and neither of us can see anything that tells us rehandle. There is a touch of yellow at the edges, on both sides, which you see on Case stag. It's almost like it was very lightly burned, then mostly buffed off.
The rivets inside are all there, including the shield's rivets, and they don't look messed with. Nickel-silver liners.
Here's its elder brother!!

[muskrat man]

could have been buffed off Charlie, either way they are both beauties

[upnorth]

Thanks, MM!! Could have been polished off for sure.
Does that "V" indicate genuine stag, or carved stag-bone Johnnie??

[muskrat man]

one of my favorite buck creeks

[jonet143]

the v was vintage stag. at least for this one.

[Another Knife Collector]

Very nice ones everyone. Here's my Hubertus, must be an older one, marked west germany, has very rough unpolished stag.

Thanks Casechaserxx, its definately made with the same quality as the pocketknives of the same age that Case made.

[knifeswapper]

I am a big advocate of just leaving stag alone; but I just got these exclusive Red Stag (dyed) trappers (1 and 2 blade) in from Canal Street and really like them. It is like a combination between the old Case Smooth Rose bone and Stag.

[muskrat man]

one of my favorite Schliepers

[upnorth]

Thanks for showing the "V" Johnnie!
MM, I see why you like those German knives. Nice stag examples!

[muskrat man]

thanks charlie, and another
