I think in the Gaddis book it says that Bo used stag handles from other knife sets that were on the market at that time. Think he removed those handles and applied them to his work.

Given the finger grooves and size, I am not sure this was on another. If so, it was a biggin'.

So it's been just 24 hours since Tune revealed the Holy Grail with over 440 views. What a great first day MItchell.

Come on Burnie!! Where's my holy grail?!? Get back on the search!!

Awesome find Tune!! I'd keep that one if I was u!!

Scott it just happens that I have a couple more awesome finds that I've kept for myself. I'll photo and share them later this week. Granted there not as awesome as the Zach, but there pretty cool.......

Mitch, Absolutely amazing!!!

I believe I have seen these knives if I'm not mistaken Burnie? And beauties they are!

I didn't make that very clear. Bo's first knives in 1937. By 42 he was supplying his own handle material. He probably had to scrounge some but he found it.

Ok. I'll bite. Why would stag suddenly become something requiring scrounging? As far as I know, it was on no strategic materials list for aircraft or tank manufacture. Or even knives. Or was it?

Mitchell, you can do an x-ray of this beautiful knife?
