That is beautiful stag!
Thanks!
Thank you sir, it is!
I carry a lambsfoot...

...because I saw the light!
How 'bout you?
Beautiful!!
With regard to Wright quality levels. I was in the Famous Sheffield Shop yesterday and handled about 20 Wright knives. They were all of a good standard of fit and finish. I was really impressed though admittingly I did not look too carefully at the stag as a really don't care for it on a knife handle..
I received 6 knives from them yesterday.... I’m happy with the level of fit and finish for the price. They aren’t at GEC levels, but neither is the price. I think the most annoying aspect is 3 of them have off center blades but none of them rub. Overall I’m very satisfied!
I've seen far too many!
Good effort I think they use what they can find. The export ban on Sambar hit the Sheffield cutlers hard, and left them searching to find a half-adequate replacement. They could probably have fared better, by consulting the internet for example Fat chance unfortunately I keep hoping things will change
Here's a photos showing the Pere David stock-pile in the cellar
Thanks a lot pal, I think you did well to hang onto that one
We've all seen the light now Vince! Nice pic
They maintain higher standards than most retailers, but I think the quality of Wright's knives has increased massively over the past ten years I just hope a day doesn't come when old guys say, "Wright's? I remember when they produced a good working knife at an inexpensive price, rather than this fancy stuff I can't afford!"
That's a great pic OG
I have to remember to keep one of those tins for myself!
Sure is Taylor
I must say, Wright’s could definitely benefit from getting better and more diverse handle materials, but again, for the price, they aren’t bad. I’m kind of surprised at the premium they list Snakewood and Ironwood for. I would pay that for ram horn, which is generally pretty cheap.
Nice, Taylor, patina is going to further enhance that beauty.
Thank you...you're going to start the tease already? Just let me know when to send my money!!!
That's what you get when you go flying the Shuttle upside down
Another great looking Lambsfoot with Stag.
Great looking stag, but the asymmetrical part would drive me nuts!
Drool worthy horn there, Dennis, nice picture.
Very good use of the light there, Vince.
OG, nice photo, shows off the great Ironwood on that knife. We had about the same amount yesterday, mostly gone now.
Yep, very nice.
I'll bet that is a neat place to scavenge around in...no telling what you might find.
See, I knew that asymmetry would drive someone nuts!
Because I do not have another one yet, I'll show this one again in bone...
Nice one! Lime green bone?
