I'm having a hard time picturing how it would look as a shadow. Would it even be wide enough to get a large pin through?

Well,one might ask,how many shadows do you need ? You know...
But I'm kinda like a clumbsy guy w/ the custom knives & I do carry them & it seems to me,the shadow being lighter & configured for no holding back.Mainly my concern is what ends up in my pockets w/ the knife.

The knives they (Tony & Reese) make in stag bone & Ivory are so gorgeous,I love those too

I wanted to see what others thought
I asked 2 guys personally,Rick & Scott & both thought I was not nuts

Vince, how many custom shadows do you actually have?

Right now,I have 3 & one being built & another ordered .

Never ever,had a 3 blade stockman shadow,though. But I have had & handled a few Tony & Reese multi blade folders & I'll say,hands down IMO,I thought they all were the best.

Very nice pruner Dan.

Vince, didn't we see a shadow stockman by Tony recently? I think BossHoss had one a while back.

I thought Kerry posted one on here a month or so ago.

Yes,
I posted pics of the knife a ways back.
Jon had that one,but prior to him owning it,I was offered it in a trade for a Reese knife.I did not do the trade,though.The knife was a 4" size.

I like that smaller size & the blades on it,all 3 & I like the way the tip of the clip is straight.
I like the grippiness of the green canvas,the way T&R Bose finish that,as well

BTW,If Tony were to see this & beat Reese to it,I'm in.

I have a few years under my belt on the wait now,so...

I've tossed alotta ideas around.

I like the way the two secondary blades lay in the handle,with the main open,it seems practical for a stockman

I like the swedge on the main clip,too

Vince, that DOES give a whole new meaning to the phrase, "show us yer nutz"

Geez,I thought I asked for ya's to take it easy on me,besides,do you really wanna see that

Order it Vince. It would be a great EDC.

**SharpNJ** · 07-12-2010, 04:59 PM

Vince, I agree with wagglebee - when I think stockman, I think bolsters. But, it'll be your knife, not mine, so if you like it as a shadow, go for it.

(Of course, if you're ordering it with the intention of it being my knife, I'll be thrilled to carry it no matter how you make it up.

)

That's one thing about traditional knives,though,if you remember,some Co.'s made stockmans(aways back in time)with no bolsters,synthetic scales & those "birdseye" pins on opposing ends.

I can picture it,& I want it!

I'll take seconds if SharpNJ doesn't like it!

Vince - I would think you were nuts if you DIDN'T order one! LOL

As you get older, the time just flies by!

Just get on the list AGAIN and then you can wait twice!
