GB, on your Goucho knife, is that spanish notch just decorative or does it serve a purpose?

I believe it's just decorative, but there are a lot of opinions out there about them.
There is a pretty cool photo of notches, choils, and integrals in this old thread at knifeseek.com: http://www.knifeseek.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38778

Great, thanks for the link. Those are fantastic knifes! All I have is a Kabar. The damascus knives, as Bawanna would put it, makes my pants poke out in the front....LOL.

I confess my ignorance. What, technically defines a stag handle or gun grip? Does the material need to be antler, bone, or ...? I’ve wondered.

To me, it's a handle or grips made of antler from members of the deer family (Cervidae). I'd guess the usage of the term "stag" came about because antlers are mostly found on males.
