Vagabond Compact Hunter
« on: December 24, 2014, 11:16:00 AM »
Here is a cute little knife that will look familiar. It's just a small version of my Vagabond.
   

Here it is with the regular Vagabond.

That's a fantastic little knife, Lin. I've grown to be very fond of smaller and smaller knives like that. They really do get a lot done. Merry Christmas, sir and thanks for sharing.

That would the perfect size for the first hunting knife. Love that stag handle. Lin do you know if Schrade ever used real stag horn? If so do you about when they quit using real stag handles? I have old one just wondering how to tell if is real horn. Merry Christmas.

Thanks guys. Yall stay safe.   :campfire:  

I don't know Robert when they changed. I would assume all makers used natural stag early on unless they are new comers.

Man Lin, you make THE most beautiful stag handle knives. Can you show a pic of the top and butt end?
