Capt. That's certainly nice use of the grain feature in the coco. Outstanding.
Cheers

This is an 80's vintage 12-9 #14 Grind in Crown Stag with finger grips. This knife is perfectly balanced and a pleasure to hold. The finger-grips are an option no longer available on crown stag knives. That's too bad because it really is a nice feature on this handle. This another crown stag knife in my collection that remains as one of my favorite Randall knives.

Best,
Warren

Warren, Tom was correct. You are The Crown Stag King.
Beautiful knife and presentation.

That is a fantastic knife Warren. You have some great crown stag.

Tony,

You saw all of these knives with your own peepers. I just got around to taking some decent photos. It was a rainy weekend and it seemed like the thing to do. Thanks again!

Steve & Kevin,

Thanks for the reply and your kind words.


Best,
Warren

We talk about no two Randall Made Knives being the same.

Check out these!



I like the shape, color and more uniform "bark" of the stag on the top #12. Looks like the leather washers are either fewer or thinner than the bottom knife giving more space to the stag.

I like the thinner guard and larger diameter grip of the bottom #12.

As for the blades the only difference I can see is the deep Randall stamp on the bottom blade. We have discussed that elsewhere on the forum. Seems it is found on some newer blades.

Tom,

I'm not sure if this is what you said but this is my preference. Put the stag from #1 on the #2 knife everything else the same and that knife is really great. In fact they are both great but placing these two side by side really shows the subtle differences in knives. Thanks for posting these two bowie's.

Best,
Warren
