Well, burnt stag will loose it's burnt look after pocket time. But, all stag mellows over time, red stag will loose some of it's red color after pocket time as well. When I buy a stag knife for EDC I plan on this though, it adds more character to the knife, for me atleast.
I like seeing a relaxed burnt stag knife with a dark patina stained blade, like Robert's moose, an excellent example actually. The new knives are gorgeous, but they don't have that look for me.
OK, maybe I was a bit harsh . It was late and maybe I had a bit too much togetherness with my family yesterday. I do have a half congress and I like it pretty much, but I would still really like the addition of the extra blade on the Conductor to make it a true whittler. Sorry about that GEC!
I think that would be pretty interesting Luca. I would like GEC to bring back the spiral cut red and black buffalo too. When I first saw it a few years ago I thought it was just plain ugly. Then it started to grow on me and I bought two #23L's in black spiral cut and I love them. I would definitely buy a #72 or #73/73L in red or black spiral cut buffalo now. A #72 in rams horn would interest me too. They could bring back the Brimstone too especially in a #72/73. One other knife I have been waiting for is a clip blade Hogan in abalone in the Northfield line. And why can't GEC just go ahead and add the missing blade to the Conductor and make it a good ole whittler? The Conductor seems like a half congress to me, half useful.
Personally, I really liked the "sarpnt" jigging, not the color, but the step and repeat circular drilling of the jigging pattern, and I'd like to see that reintroduced in another color, say black, my favorite. I thought it was very "modern" and graphic pattern. And, like Tom, I definitely prefer the clip blade on this knife.
Jean-Francious,
Yours is a beautiful example. The Rams Horn and Brimstone were all excellent handle types from that year also. (But ya'll know I love my Beavertails)
