I posted these on the Union Cut thread, the last one, the "Bearcat", model 238 has the gnarliest stag possible. The other two aren't too shabby either. KA-BAR/Union Cut. used some of the nicest stag on their hunters. All the stag Bearcats have incredible gnarly stag.

There is nothing like vintage stag on an old knife... :)

Here's a gnarly one to add -

Wostenholm English Jack - 4 & 9/16" with a very full blade... most likely dates 1890-1900 or so...

Very nice. ::tu::
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
