Silver Stag’s Hands-On Approach

The Silver Stag knife product line consists of a broad assortment of semi-custom-crafted American-made hunting and fishing knives, which for almost a quarter century have been manufactured by a small team of sportsmen in Blaine, Washington, all of whom take great pride in their work. What separates Silver Stag from its competition is their hands-on approach to manufacturing, attention to detail, and their practical and functional blade designs.

“Our experienced production team exclusively uses high-carbon D2 and 1095 plate tool steel to craft our blades, and every blade is primarily ground free hand,” says Brad smith, president of Silver Stag. “In addition, North American antler and select hardwoods are incorporated into the finished knives, giving every knife its own unique custom character.”

Smith notes that over the years, the company has been awarded with many industry projects, including the design and production of exclusive limited-edition knives for the NRA, NWTF, and RMEF.  In addition, the company builds a small line of knives for Ruger, Shiloh Sharps, and the King Ranch.

Silver Stag’s most recent addition to the line is the Guide Caper. This game-processing model features a 2.5-inch hollow-ground D2 steel blade and is fitted and finished with hand-profiled and polished whitetail antler scales secured to the full tang design with brass pins. SRP: $179, which includes and high-quality leather belt sheath.          

In addition to hunting and fishing fillet models, the company also manufactures survival, camp, and an assortment of utilitarian folding knives. “We’ll build customers a knife using their own cherished antler,” Smith says. “Details can be found on our website.” (silverstag.com)
