I’ve been carrying my stag almost daily and am really enjoying it. It’s my knife if the year so far.

Same here. I carried my beer & sausage a couple of days after the new slip from GEC came in, but I’m back to the stag 74.I’ve been carrying my stag almost daily and am really enjoying it. It’s my knife if the year so far.
Very nice... it looks like it really brought out the grain in the wood. While I don't like a glossy finish on wood, a satin finish on wood sanded down like you did, to "really fine" grit looks fantastic. Almost like you can see down into it...Spent a little time today on my previously 'brushed' Ironwood Mustang. Used some strips of 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit sandpaper - and then a few polishes with some Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish. I'm pretty happy with the results.
Wow!Gave this sweet little thing some run today - still the best matched covers I've had on a GEC. Very lucky to have it!

I can't decide if that would bug me or make me happy! My immediate response was that's awesome! Almost looks like Osage on the one side.-deleted-
Holy Smokes that is a real "Twilight" knife. Stain and gloss finish is over rated. "You can't out do God's natural beauty." One drop of oil and the color will pop. Put that beauty in your pocket and you will get attached to it.-deleted-
I do not know what you traded but you got something pretty nice in return Greg. Congrats !!!!I missed out on the recent 74 drop but was fortunate enough acquire this one in trade thanks to a fellow forum member. Got it in yesterdays mail
and polished it up this morning to get a bit of sheen. Flitzed the bolster scratches out and hit the scales with some 1000 grit w/d sandpaper.
Coated scales with a beeswax and mineral oil mix, followed up with paste wax. No issues with this one that I can find, excellent blade centering,
perfect pulls and snap, nicely fitted shield, gapless liners, etc. My first knife with burl wood scales, can't stop admiring it.
