Comment by Ron"TUNA"Dumeah on April 16, 2012 at 18:07: Another by Mr. Trevor Ablett. Ettrick shape. lambsfoot. Stag handle. Overall length six inches. Really great stag on this as well

Comment by Ron"TUNA"Dumeah on April 16, 2012 at 18:03: This one is made by John Maleham, it has traditional work back with hand file work into the steel down the back of the spring. The stag is such that I have never felt before. Really nice feel to it.
