I’ll vote Danum as I have one! I’d love one of Stuart’s and when pennies allow I’ll get one.
Major vote for snakes knives too, quite a lot cheaper than my Danum but heck is it a great knife! Seriously good.
Current collection, my first stalking knife-Helle, then a F1 custom by Danum, snakes knife, Danum fallow catcher. More to come

Very nice collection JH83
What is the wood used on the Danum fallow, looks to have a good pattern and colour

Would be fair to say I have a preference / an addiction 
My wife bought me the antler handled knife for my 30th and Stuart built it to my spec, the handle is made from the antler of my first wild stag.
What I like about Stuart’s knives is that while the Portland series and stock patterns will do everything any of us need, and be a beautiful thing to own too, there is the option of a true custom knife.
My antler knife was designed by me with inputs from Stuart to be a knife to hunt everything, it was perfectly executed and I treasure it. It’s done muntjac - reds and I always enjoy carrying it. That being said when I’m out culling it’s a p120 on my belt every time, for fallow and up I think that’s about as good as a knife that’s been made so far.
To boot Stuart is a lovely bloke, who has become a mate, and I always enjoy speaking with him.
No shade on any other makers, I was looking at Guy Stainthorps knives at the stalking show and liked the look of them too, and the emberleaf guys make a great product too.
I think we are well catered for here in the U.K. for handmade knives!

Masur birch. It’s a lovely knife, sharp as hell.
I have been greatly impressed by the snakes knife too! Great steel, done dozens with it and it’s only needed a quick touch up!

Yep. 100% he made me a superb unzipper blade aimed at fallow and its spot on, haven’t had to touch it except a wash and brush up - exactly want I asked for and great workmanship

Dougster on here made lovely knives.Mine must be close if not over a decade.The first real custom knife I ever bought and stayed with me since.
I'd love to get a stainless liner for the sheath.
Perfect shape imo,handle is Welsh sycamore and will no doubt be handed down.
