It's about time for another stag fix. Let's see what you've got!

Nice stag handled Case Knives in this thread. Here's some Case stag I own - hard to find just the right handle when collecting stag. OH

Just a bit of second cut stag. OH

Some real beauties in this thread...I can look at stag all day and never get tired.
Sometimes just the right light really brings out the character in stag.
Here's my antique stag Copperlock mod in late afternoon sun filtered through a window screen.

Lots of very nice Case stag being shown. This is a Case Tested XX 5165 with high pull and flat ground blade.

Here is a XX 5165 flat ground blade..

Glad I could finally get it to you John!

Here is a Case XX USA 3rd model (1967-1969) Bulldog 5172 with honey / amber colored stag.

WOW! That is a stunner, Ralph.

Full House of stag 07 mini trappers

Q, thank you for the comment on the Bulldog. Your crew of 07's is very nice. The example 4th from the left is has super nice color and texture!

What's better than cabin fever? Stagmania!

These pictures are of a Case Tested XX 5171L switchblade. When the blade is closed pressing the lever springs the blade open. When open, the blade is locked open and the pressing the lever unlocks the blade so it can be closed. The 71 is the large variation at 5 3/8" closed. The Tested 5171's have a variety of marks that are used on the lower bolster including "Case's Tested XX" like this example has, plus "Case Tested XX" and the circle mark with "Case XX Tested" stamped inside the circle. I don't know the significance of the various bolster marks, but would guess they are an indicator of age. For example, I would expect the circle mark to be older because it was used in the Bradford era preceding Tested XX.

That's a rare and beautiful knife Jerry!

Ken

Jerry ,you have outdone yourself on that one ! What a beautiful example of a rare old Case!

That is very nice Jerry. Some amazing stag.

Jerry, Awesome Knife, doesn’t get any better

Can't add much to what's already been said Jerry,A+

Some stag of all types

Thank you to all who made gracious comments on the pictures of the Case Tested XX 5171.

Zach, your Case stag knives are super nice and represent many of stag variations that Case used.

Thanks, just need some xx 2nd cut

Zach, how do you get the blades to stay open just a little bit? Do you put something underneath the blade inside the channel, perhaps?

Absolutely gorgeous stag...I especially like the orange-y red stag on the knife in the last photo. That color really pops.

Nice stag show.
