Just picked this 5-4 up a week ago. I was going to flip this knife but once I handled and saw the stag in person I cannot see me getting rid of it now! Gotta love that knarly red stag!

Know that feeling well, probably 90% of my collection was purchased with the intention of flipping...Hey that's really nice, I'll just throw that in the safe and flip the next one

My #5-4" with Brass furniture and Ironwood handle:

WHOA Ken!!!
That's a really "Classy" looking #5! Very Nice.
BTW, do you take these photos in a light box? Nice even lighting with no hot spots (reflections)
on the blades.

Ken,

I see you've been busy lately getting a few new knives. That is some really highly figured IW and is very complimentary with the brass furniture. Thanks for posting your knife and another nice photo.

Best,
Warren

Here´s another one with a cocobolo handle, blade is 5", has a nice overall balance

Great wood handled 5's fellas...it seems wood is more popular than ever these days.

Rob

Outstanding wood is, well, outstanding.

Interestingly, my dad's definition of a knife handle is stag, stag, or stag. And, if stag is not available, then stag is perfectly acceptable. Hell, of the half-dozen Randalls that he owns, all have stag handles.

Whenever I buy a new Randall with a non-Stag handle, I need to convey its options, specifically its handle material, to him in a way that make it appear as though its handle were some form of Stag.

Ken,
Sounds like your Dad is a man who knows what he likes!
Like I said ... "classy" looking #5 ... with a great dark brown stag handle!
