- Nick my friend- ok...LAST ONE!
This worn but stunning old Dogleg was gifted to me by the seller of the last shown Camillus's to me - I am extremely fortunate to own the knives I do and at times wonder if I deserve them- but I guess we all must do that at times....
Another Sta- Sharp- Oh man I must apologise if there are some out there who do not like Sta-Sharp's as this must be a needle stuck in the Record for you at this moment of time- but please bear with me my friends and this one is the last for now - well Camillus anyway.
The seller stated to me- and I agree whole-heartedly - that this particular Knife is quite rare as it is Genuine Stag - being what I would deem as the same neighbourhood as finding an early Schrade in Stag- is very hard- in saying that I have probably seen more Stag Shrade's- be them few compared to Stag Sta-Sharps? ( Opinions are MOST welcome ).
Not only being a rare Stag - but one with a harder to find Stamp on the Tang of
STA-SHARP (
over)
S.R & Co. and
7065 on reverse of the Tang Although I expected this to be an earlier production Knife, this Dogleg- what I would say carries Black Stag - reins from the same era with this Tang Stamping 1927 - 1940.
VERY worn down Blades- Pen is almost a Talon, the Main still retains is original shape- almost- but with heavy surface Grinding - and still......
This gorgeous old Knife in my opinion commands a knife enthusiast to stop and admire this Knife Threaded Bolsters, End Caps and Federal Shield in Nickel Silver, Gorgeous Stag, Swage work - Coined Liners throughout with major File work / Coining work on the Center Liner - this was a very high Quality Knife - and kinda still is as it hasn't disappeared yet- and I am going to make sure it wont in my lifetime.
I would also very much like to say to my friend - of whom I purchased these Knives from - Thank you for taking your time to take me under your wing so to speak- your Knowledge, your passion - and simply you - it's a pure pleasure to be able to converse with you - be it through emails - and I am extremely thankful and want you to know I buy certain knives- to keep - these are are definitely them. Your most kind and thoughtful gifts too are amazing and this knife is such a great example of your thinking when gifting a Knife that evokes such passion and attention to the knife. Many, many thanks my friend.
