The drop point hunter got the nickname "Griffin" because Dave Griffin who worked in the shop came up with the handle, the single finger grip handle to replace the 4 finger grip handle. As I outlined above, it came about in an effort to save time versus the original 4 finger groove model.

As you can see from the photo, the bottom knife is one of the earliest DPH models. The subsequent SFG handled models have different shapes from knife to knife. The one in the middle I am uncertain of. I cannot tell if it is stag or not, but the handle looks like polished stag. If it is stag, it was not done at the shop but put on after the fact, probably by Griffin himself.

The blade shapes are relatively the same, but the model 28 has a choil whereas the DPH did not. You will note also, the photo shows the blade grinds of the 5 knives noticeably vary.
