All About Pocket Knives

Won this on e-Bay a week ago and finally got it this evening.I have quite a few letter opener knives and many PAL ones but this is the first stag handled one I have seen.It is in near mint condition and was reasonable in price.If it had been marked Remington it would probably have sold for 5 or 6 times what I paid for it(under $30).
The tip is blunted somewhat and I thought it may have been broken but on closer inspection it appears to have been made like that(unless it was a very clean break;no evidence of bending).
Anyway it makes a great addition to my growing collection of letter opener knives.

Very nice, its always good to find a vintage blade with an etch.

Etch is nice but LOOK at that stag.

I have never seen a stag opener knife in person either.

That is some of the best looking stag I have seen on any knife!

What year is that thang anyway?

I have quite a few letter openers that are made of stag and a bunch of PAL and Remington letter opener knives but this is the first one I have seen in stag.PAL bought out Remington in 1940 or 41 and for awhile there were some knives with Remington tang stamps and PAL etches(called transition knives)so it I had to guess I would say late 40's or early 50's.
The stag is definitely well matched and not very thick like a lot of later stag knives.A definite asset to my collection,

Thats a SWEETY!!

That IS some bee-utiful stag, but don't it wear a hole in yer pocket?
