Stag Saturday - Let's See Some Traditional Stag!

An Old Groover, 73 liner lock from 2008 one of my first GECs and used a lot.

STAG...durable, functional, and beautiful, usually reserved the most expensive knives intended to be pampered, collected, and treasured. Here are two examples of beautiful stag, one that fits the criteria outlined above and the other the exact opposite. It's purely utilitarian in design and function but, surprisingly, dressed in a pretty nice piece of stag.

Very nice S&M :thumbsup:
The other one is obviously a specialty tool. What is the purpose?

This week I've had a couple of stag folders in my pockets.

It's a hoof knife used for trimming the feet of livestock such as horses and cattle. I've been unable to find any references to the maker, KOPF MFG CO. I was hoping someone might recognize the mark. T-A
I googled "Kopf Mfg" and found this 1934 Turf Goods catalogue #19.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1934-Tu...-Catalog-no-19-Kopf-MFG-New-York/183858603857
The title page states: "This catalogue has been carefully prepared in listing the best and most up-to-date line of racing goods ever offered to horsemen and trainers." There's a picture of the index, and you can see under "K" that page 112 has a "knife, Farrier's". Too bad page 112 isn't included among the pics in the listing.
