Warren,
As you know, Mike ordered this knife from me a few years back. He had sent me some stag and indicated that he wanted me to use it for his orders which were in the loop. I told Mike that he should give the shop stag a chance for a couple of different reasons.
1) What the shop had been providing at that time was pretty good.
2) Some of the stuff he sent, while looking good, wouldn't measure.
3) Randall shop-supplied stag has a lifetime warranty.
Well: Mike listened to me and this knife came out with 100% Randall shop-supplied stag! Unbelieveable. I told Mike it was a good thing he received it without me "peeking" into the butcher paper first. There might have been a "problem" if I had seen that one. No...Not really. Mike was ecstatic when he received this knife. I just can't believe he sold it!! Great knife, Warren. Now hang onto it!!
Best, Capt. Chris
