Over the last 18 years, we have never strayed from what made us successful when we first started manufacturing stag knives in a small garage. Even today, SILVER STAG blades and finished knives are primarily manufactured by hand in our Blaine, WA. shop. We use the highest quality domestic tool steels and natural raw materials to manufacture our extremely functional and durable line of fixed and folding cutlery designs. We take great pride in our work and every year we get more efficient at manufacturing a higher quality product, while broadening our design selection and building additional features into the SILVER STAG product line. PRODUCT LINE SUMMARY The SILVER STAG product line consists of over 80 different cutlery designs that range from 1” to over 21” in blade length. The majority of the line Retails in the $70 to $140 range. The SILVER STAG line is categorized into one of twelve “Product Series”, and each product series is defined by the design and materials used in the manufacturing process. These series are; CROWN, ELK STICK, SLAB, TOOL STEEL, DAMASCUS, FOLDING, POINT, SCRIMSHAW, CHUCK WAGON, FRAME , SWORD, and ENHANCED. THANK YOU If you are an existing SILVER STAG customer, we sincerely appreciate your support and business. Your testimonials, reorders, and referrals have always reinforced our commitment to strive for excellence, and exceed your expectations with regard to return on investment and customer service. If you are new to our company, we appreciate the time you are taking to learn about Smith & Partners, LLC, and SILVER STAG knives. American manufacturing has always been the back-bone of our great nation. Please be assured, when you purchase a SILVER STAG knife, you are not only guaranteed a very high quality American made product, you are also supporting 15 hard-working SILVER STAG team patriots, their families, and small domestic suppliers. DISTRIBUTION SILVER STAG Knives are distributed through high quality sporting good, cutlery, and specialty stores. You will not find SILVER STAG products sold in big box or mass merchant discount chains. We expect all of our dealers to sell at our MSR pricing and adhere to our MAP pricing policy. New SILVER STAG dealers must meet certain criteria to become an authorized dealer. Please call us if your company is interested in becoming an authorized dealer. We would appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your opening order. We have many years of experience working with our retail partners and we know why our key dealers are extremely successful with the line. Our most successful dealers are able to share our manufacturing techniques and product features with their customers. In addition, they carry a good selection, sell at our MSR pricing, use our merchandising materials, and consistently restock what sells through. When dealers follow these simple guidelines, SILVER STAG is a very profitable line for their store. It is important that your sales associates read this catalog and become familiar with our products. Please feel free to call the factory direct during Pacific business hours if we can assist you or your team with product training. We are committed to dealer support. PACKAGING / MERCHANDISING Every knife ships in its own individual box, accompanied with a high quality leather sheath and warranty card. UPC stickers are available upon request. New dealers have the opportunity to purchase one of our locking counter display fixtures. The fixture is very attractive, saves counter space, and has proven to sell incremental product. The fixture holds 14 to 20 knives and locks from the back. If a new dealer orders 13 or more knives, we sell the display fixture at our cost, and subsidize it by providing our new dealer with a no charge knife that can be sold for approximately the same cost as the display purchase price. (Fixture Dimensions: H =24”, W = 15”, D = 7”). Consumer brochures, feature plaques, and antler display stands are available for glass case merchandising. Locking Display Fixture PRODUCTION PROCESS We design, engineer, and build our own products. Every SILVER STAG team member manages one of several production work stations, and contributes to each and every knife built. To gain production efficiencies, and to keep our products reasonably priced, we build large same style production runs and avoid one of one custom designs. We are experts at transforming raw sheets of Tool Steel into extraordinary razor sharp tools. Please review the following summary of our manufacturing techniques: 1. We design our blades and cutlery designs using CAD Software. 2. The CAD files are transferred to our CNC Plasma or Laser cutting machines. 3. The profiled designs, blades, guards, and component parts are cut with the Plasma or Laser machine. 4. We build prototypes to review functionality, durability, comfort, feel, and aesthetics. 5. We use a CNC surface grinder to remove the mill scale from the profiled blades and components. The surface grinder also regulates blade and part thickness. 6. The blades are Hollow or Flat ground “Free-Hand” using Bader grinding machines. 7. The blades are polished “Free-Hand” using compressed rubber and cloth wheels attached to grinding machines. 8. The blades are precision heat treated to a 58 to 62 Rockwell Hardness. 9. Shed antler and hardwoods are cut, shaped and incorporated into each design by hand. Pins and epoxy; accompanied with our proprietary hands-on assembly process guarantees strength and durability (lifetime warranty on all of our fixed blade knives). 10. Each knife is shaped, sanded, and polished using belt sanders, buffing wheels, and hand tools. The finishing process ensures a comfortable balanced feel, while providing each knife with its own individual uniqueness, character and beauty. 11. Each knife is sharpened by hand, then cleaned, oiled, and inspected. The finished knife is fitted to a high quality handmade leather sheath. The forge welding process for our Damascus blades is much more complicated and can be reviewed in detail on the following Damascus product series description header, or on the video link located on our website. PAGE 4 Our blades are ground by hand Each handle is selected and cut to best fit each knife style Each knife is buffed and polished by hand before it gets shipped SHEATHS All of our Fixed Blade knives with blades under 5” include a high quality leather belt pouch sheath that can be worn vertically or horizontally. All Fillet Designs also include a high quality leather pouch sheath. A leather tie is included with all pouch sheaths, just in case the customer would like to tie the knife handle to the sheath for additional protection. All of our Fixed Blade designs with a blade over 5”, include an upgraded hand laced snap sheath that can only be worn vertically. Our Damascus and Product Enhancement Series designs include an upgraded hand laced snap sheath. Please note, there are a few pouch and snap sheaths available for some models regardless of the blade size and can be special ordered. Please check for availability. Lastly, belt sheaths are available for our Folder designs and sold separately. Dies are made for all of our existing sheaths and we do not make custom sheaths. All sheaths are vegetable tanned cow hide leather and 100% made in USA. WHATS NEW This is our boldest roll out of new designs, new product series, and design enhancements. Please review the following summary of new SILVER STAG product line refinements and additions: • Over the last year, we have been incorporating beautiful hardwoods into some of our most popular designs. Due to the overwhelming positive response, we have expanded the use of Maple, Walnut, and Cocobolo to existing and new designs. • We recently designed and engineered our first “Liner-Lock” pocket knives. They are unique, exceptional, and a must have! • We designed a new “SILVER FRAME Series”! These D2 steel knives are unique, extremely utilitarian, and offered at a great price point. • We have expanded our popular “Chuck Wagon” Series with new “Full Tang” Chef knives. • We have added a new “Enhanced Custom Series”. This new series will feature new and existing designs that include File Work, Wood Inlays, Jeweling, and Mosaic pins. • We have designed and engineered a new pivot pin for our folding knives that has improved their performance and durability. • We have added great New Designs to most of our product series. Additional information on our new products and features can be reviewed under each Product Series header. New designs will be high-lighted throughout the catalog. PAGE 5 CROWN SERIES - D2 steel is an air hardening, high carbon, and high chromium tool steel possessing extremely high wear resisting properties. D2 steel is commonly used in the machining industries to manufacturer dies and punches that repeatedly cut other materials. D2 Steel is extremely tough and durable! The high chromium content provides good corrosion resistance, (but it can and will rust if it is not properly taken care of). The blades are heat treated to a 62 Rockwell hardness and are guaranteed to retain their factory edge for extended periods of heavy use. When it does come time to re-sharpen, the blades will hone to a razor edge. In our professional opinion, there is nothing better than D2 steel. The following Crown Series features North American Deer and Elk antler crown/burr handles.

This extreme high carbon steel hones to a razor sharp edge (better than any stainless steel), retains its edge (better than most stainless steels), and is easier to sharpen, (compared to stainless steel). This steel is often used to manufacture car springs, files, and hand tools. SILVER STAG 1095 blades are heat treated to a 58 Rockwell Hardness. Traditional jeweling is applied to the blades. This process involves taking a wire mesh bit and pressing down on the blade with a drill press to create swirls on the blade. The indented swirl pattern on the blade surface assists the blade in retaining oil for corrosion protection. You can’t go wrong using one of our Tool Steel designs for extreme field work. The smaller designs include a leather pouch sheath, and the larger designs include an upgraded hand laced snap sheath. The blades need to be oiled after use to prevent rusting.

The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce layers, (SILVER STAG Damascus = 150 to 250 layers). Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process, (SILVER STAG offers a random and twist pattern). The blades are hand profiled from the layered steel billet block. The combination of layered hard and soft steels creates blade flexibility, toughness, and produces invisible serrations on the edge that aid cutting. SILVER STAG Damascus blades are extremely functional and durable. The nickel in the 15N20 steel keeps corrosion at bay, but the blades can and will rust if they are not occasionally oiled. An up-graded, hand laced leather sheath is included with every style. STAG TWIST (DST2.7) Blade L = 2.75” / Overall = 6.75” Twist Pattern – Full Tang Slab with Moose or Elk antler The perfect design.

For example, we redesigned the back springs, designed our own unique hardened stainless steel pivot pin, and fine-tuned the assembly process. They have always been good, but now they are exceptional! We recently finished engineering and building our first two new “Liner Lock’ pocket designs. The initial response has been phenomenal and we are very excited and proud to add these exceptional new designs to our Folding Series. The entire series is manufactured with D2 steel blades, brass liners, and stainless steel components. The blades are double disc ground and hardened to a 60 Rockwell. Several styles are available with antler or stabilized wood scale handles. The Folding Series has broad appeal and are designed for everyday carry and use.

PAGE 22 TESTIMONIALS Bought one of your Sharp Forest Elk Stick Silver Stag knives this past summer. Finally got to use it on my first Mule deer in Wyoming. Great knife! Still razor sharp after field dressing and skinning this deer. I’ve always been partial to D2 steel knife blades. May buy another as a gift for one of the grandkids later. Thanks for a great product!! And made in the USA too!! - Bob Hubbs I have been using one of your crown style knives for two years, on everything from deer to fish and small game and I haven’t put an edge on it yet. It is by far the best knife I’ve had in 40 years of hunting. I was curious as to whether or not you guys would come out with a kitchen set of knives. My wife could really use a decent set of knives and I know the blades would surpass any others out there. Thank you - Kevin I received my Silver Stag Big Gamer today. I had to write and tell you what a well crafted knife it is. The whole fit and finish is perfect. Balance is just right and the crowned antler handle seems like it was made for my hand. This knife was made by a truly gifted craftsman. I had some engraving done and it was flawless and perfectly displayed on the antler handle. This is not my first Silver Stag because I’ve learned when you buy a Silver Stag knife you are truly getting not only a well made useful tool but a one of a kind piece of art. I can’t say enough about your fine knives. Thanks for making a very nice American made knife. Sincerely, Bob Hendricks Outdoor writer/knife enthusiast Dear SS, I received my knife and I’m just emailing to thank you for your brilliant customer service and your dedication to your product quality. I will certainly be purchasing more of your product and recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again, - Michael Awesome knives. Skinned and deboned 6 pigs so far and no need for sharpening anytime soon. Awesome blade. Holds edge real good. A must buy. Worth every penny Thank you guys. Your work is superb and Silver Stag customer service is second to none. I’m very happy with my choice to shop through your company. Thanks again, and I’ll give my high recommendations. Thank you, - v/r Inbody, Jared T/SSgt USAF I just wanted to let you know that this morning I picked up the custom D2 bowie from the post office that you made for me. It is super nice and extremely sharp! I am once again very pleased with the work that you all do. - Aaron , SSgt, USAF On Saturday, January 18, 2014, I was at the local NWTF chapter Hunting Heritage Banquet and saw the 2014 NWTF Knife of the Year. It was absolutely gorgeous with the Damascus blade and elk antler handle. I kept staring at it. So when the Live Auction started and this knife came up, I just had to have it. It will hold a prominent place it my display. I will be looking for more Silver Stag knives in the future. Sincerely, - Carl Tressler I bought my first Silver Stag in the mid-90s (and have bought more since for friends, business associates, and MYSELF!). The blades are amazing. The steel is really, really, strong and holds an edge like nothing else. Utility aside, they look great. I’ve seen similar hand-made knives at Gun Shows for twice as much. Lastly, no two look alike--which is how I convince my wife I always need another one! ha ha BEST KNIFE YOU WILL EVER OWN! This is just a feedback email thanking you for your services. As a hunter from Australia i would like to say i have recently replaced my field knife set with 4 recently purchased and assorted ‘silver stag knives.’ Your products to put simply are the best on the market hands down in my opinion. I will soon be buying another for my dad he loves them too. Work like a dream in the field and slice through hogs like butter. Thankyou and keep up the great work. - Jim Beehag This set is extremely sharp and the gut hook does not get clogged up the best part is the it is 100% USA made thank you silver stag and cabelas So I just received my cascade hunter stag and must stay right out of the box it is extremely sharp and the craftsmanship is outstanding! Next I’ll either get the deer meet for dinner backstrap blade or the combo! Great knives! - Chris WOW!! The knives are really nice! Thank you so much for helping me with these special groomsman gifts. I will defiantly recommend you to other people in the future.
