Also Item # 1019. Looks like several sterling silver knives and a Miller Brothers cigar cutter knife. Interesting that one item is listed as a tusk. Thought auction houses stayed away from items like that.Also on page two there is a card of 30 Master knives(look recent)and have 7 bids up to $375.

There is no ban on warthog or hippo tusks, with warthog being often used and the items in the auction are made of.

Dennis; thanks for posting that. I'll definitely be watching it. Case put those stag displays together in 1984 or 85 to highlight all of the genuine stag handled patterns that were then in production.

The auction estimate was $400 - $600 and the winning bid was $800 (~$62/knife). I assume there was also a buyer's premium. Anybody here get it?
