It was a busy weekend, and you all were totin' some beauties.

You can't go wrong with peppers & onions in my book! Deer bologna sounds "interesting". Very cool that a Club knife was made with Whitetail antlers....forgive me, but what is the difference between Whitetail antlers and Sambar Stag? I'm guessing the texture? Where does Sambar Stag come from anyway? I read the whole joke thread about "Sandbar Stag" on here, but seriously, what is it???

Kim,
When it comes to antlers, the differences amaze me.
Sambar Stag comes from the Sambar deer in India. They are a huge deer, and they have very long straight antlers that have a lot of texture on the outside. The inside has a soft "pith", but it is just a very small area in the very center.

Elk has large, straight antlers as well, but it has a thin hard outside with a very large pith. I have used Elk and Moose both on pocket knives, and any pith along the edges catches the particles from sanding & polishing and looks bad.

Whitetail can look great on a knife, but their antlers are smaller, tends to have less surface character, and are so curved that it is difficult to get a piece flat enough for a knife handle. This Imperial is a small knife. I feel lucky to be able to rehandle two knives from one antler.

As far as tanning hides, it can be done with current methods to make leather, or hair-on tanning (my parents used to be taxidermists, and they did this to preserve the skin for mounting deer), or traditional buckskin tanning like this:

Thanks,
Bill it's a great old Imperial,some folks that are just familiar with the Imperial shell handle knives don't realize that they made knives that were as good as any made by any company back in the day.

That old soldier might be a little worn around the edges, but is far from worn out! Those Schrades were built right!
