I think it says STAG with an etch of a deer.

Just received this old veteran of WW2 from Scott (TripleF). A Camillus Engineer's Jack with brass liners.
I just can't get enough of these old jacks.
The rest of the troops are in the background.

Everything on this page is gorgeous, congrats all, fabulous photo fodder. Man.

lol - with all the blades open on that Engineer's Jack, the liner well looks big enough to use as a lunch bowl...

wOODWALKER, You have a real beauty there in that Case.

Not sure if this Kent or my CAMCO are the smallest knife I have.

Now that is one unique skinner!

Don't see many chunks of abalone that big!

Today I got a couple that I was anxiously awaiting!

The first is a Camillus #47 pen with scissors in yellow cracked ice. It also came with a little suede sheath.
The second is one I have been trying to buy for quite a while, it is a Camillus #864 'Silver Sword' executive lockback. I really like this one! It is a very well made, solid little knife.

Queen put out a Gamekeeper series in the 70's. These knives had Queen Steel or Stainless blades. The knife I have has 2 Queen tang stamps. On the side with the etch of the moose it has a sideways Q, over Titusville, Pa. over PH-D2/.....on the pile side it has Q Steel over No. 399 over U.S.A. I would guess that it is a second issue of the knife but I have no idea when it was made. The Abalone handles appear to be made up of several layers of Abalone with a clear resin coating...nothing like the Abalone acrylic that is available today. The coating was applied after the knife was handled as the pins are covered as well. I have no idea who did this but they did a heck of a job.

I bought the bottom knife on 3/20/17 and it has proven itself worthy of a backup. It's the knife that made me compromise my preference to only carry Made in the U.S.A. knives. Top knife arrived yesterday.

A.G. Russell Gentleman's Pen Knives.

A.G. Russell Gentleman's Pen Knives. Rick those are nice!

This Russell Barlow arrived yesterday. Dont know much about Russell Barlows other than they have a long history.

This showed up yesterday. It's an Imperial key knife. Beautiful shape, great snap, never sharpened. The key has a half stop. The key is uncut so I'll have cut for the Camaro in my avatar.
