Scott,
Nice butcherin' clever. Looks like the handle is Sambar stag and one of the rosewood family, like: Brazilian rosewood, or Cocobola, or Desert oronwood?? Am I close? I have killed over 220 whitetails, but only 3 elk and 1 mule deer. They are a bit nastier to process. I killed my big bull (365 B&C) near Jimez Springs, N.M. and he went about 900 pounds!! I would have preferred a "Trailblazer" or a 6" "Trapper", but neither of those models were around at that time. I used a 6" Model #4 and a 4" "Zack" "Glades Hunter" at that time (bi-centenial, 1976).
My last hunt, at the Kieva (same place) was a cow permit hunt and it was 4 years ago. I used a "Trailblazer" and my trusty 5" Model #7, with a number 6 grind. Both did an excellent job. I surely could have done the entire job with a Trailblazer or a "Trapper". Just a little more "fuel" for the fire. Well: Off to bed. I'll post the thread for stage #2 in the morning. Best to all, Captain Chris Stanaback
