You dressed that fellow up quiet well. Good job.

Nice and good choice of handle material! Terry

Fabulous looking blacked out blade, excellent two toned Mammoth, Mmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooohhhhhhyeeeaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!

Killer knife SafdE26, love those mammoth scales.

Safd that is a knife to be proud of. And the mammoth is spectacular.

Here's a few pics of my newest that arrived in the mail Saturday. LT Wright Frontier First model in a flat grind A2 steel at 5-1/2" oal. I love the stag handles and the black liners add to the looks. Been wanting a small fixed blade for some time to use as a belt or neck carry and this one will work both ways. Used it right after unboxing to cut a deer skin lanyard and it sliced thru like butter. Made a quick antler button from a deer shed this morning.
It's small handle requires a three finger grip and putting my pinky finger thru the strap between the butt of the knife and the antler button assures that it won't be accidentally dropped. Really like this knife, one of my smarter buys for sure.
Thanks for lookin'

I like it too sunknife. And the lanyard and button dressed it up.

Thanks doglegg, I gotta say I've only had it for about 48 hrs but I bet I've taken it outta the sheath 50 times already to fondle and stare at and have convinced myself that I'm quite please with it.

Thats a real doggone pretty knife sunknife
and like doglegg says, that button and rawhide cord
really finish off the end, nice Stag bark on it as well
Ain't just soothing pulling it out of the sheath to take a peek
several times like you said...calms a fella, it does

Here are two Puma White Hunters with vastly different stag handles. The popcorn stag is on a near mint pre-1964 model.

That pop corn stag pops indeed. Great looking handles on the two.

I know 'popcorn' Stag is highly prized by many collectors but to me it looks like the knife handle has neurofibromatosis, a condition of small rounded white-ish tumors all over the body. The rounded 'popcorn' bumps on the Stag really do look like the 'bumps' of 'elephant man disease'.

LOVE the popcorn stag knifeknut, beautiful look, great grip texture, beautiful one of a kind like no other. Like cave mineralization on a stalactite. That is mother nature's artwork that no man can reproduce. Looks gnarly, groovy and fabulous. Sweet knives both, but that bumpy stag is the killer. Sweeeeeeet LT also Sunknife, love the bead and the thong addition.

sunknife.. REAL Schweett Frontier First!!!!

Here is my Frontier Valley I got 2 weeks ago.. Went to L.T. Wrights shop and had this made.. Snakeskin micarta with toxic green liners.. 01 tool steel.. Since the blade was already finished I got to watch the handle being glued and fitted..

Great shot, thought it was "knife photography" for a second. Excellent.

Thanks iman!!! John

Great looking fixed blade jmh.

Here is a fixed blade I picked up yesterday that is a bit of a mystery to me. A drop point hunter with 1/8th thick concave ground blade,brass half guard and black Micarta handles. Leather sheath of seemingly good quality. The only mark is a number (61707) stamped into the tang.
My first thought was "Pacific Rim" origin but now I'm wondering. The fit and finish seem to be very good. Any ideas who may have made it?

Thanks dog... John

I'm a little late getting back but thanks for the compliments Stagman, I-Man and jmh58. Being a relative novice/newcomer to collecting its nice to hear a some feedback as I add to my collection.
Thats some awesome stag handles on your pumas knife7knut.
Also like your choice on that LTW knife John, nice that your close enough to a knife maker to make a trip over and order up what ya want.

Here's an old Solingen-made Freidrich Plucker Jr. knife that was gifted to me by my wife's uncle. He was stationed in Germany in the fifties, and picked this up. Knice old knife I think.

I like it.

Thanks, Dog

The ball and claw pommel is a classic design element. Do you know what the handle material is. I'm thinking sterling silver?
