Good morning!

I have had a number of folks ask for a BF 24 Stockman slip. I enjoy making these slips and this thread is to gauge interest and whether I should just go ahead and keep the tradition alive. :)

Probably not my smartest move here (if ya know, you know 🤣😂), but hit up this thread with your requests and if you would be interested in joining a pre-order. :)

What color of leather? Thread color? Slip shape? Whatever ideas you have, I want to hear them!

I do have a beautiful soft caramel colored leather that would be absolutely amazing to match the BF 24 Stockman…

I will listen to all ideas and suggestions. If there is enough interest, I will keep the tradition alive! I will make a prototype (or 2) and open a pre-order thread.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Happy New Year.

A man of the people right here! 🤣

In all seriousness, I didn’t grab one of these so I’m out on suggestions. That said, more S&F work out in the world is never a bad thing!
 
I love the pocket slips that I've gotten from you Coleman, but I have to say for me ... I would have to pass on a pocket sheath for this big ol BF '24 Stockman ... BUT ... a belt sheath for it ... well now ... 🤔

I felt the same as you, JJ. I had a few requests for a slip through DM, so I figured I would throw it out there.

It is possible to make a belt sheath, but it wouldn’t be for a while. :/
What are your thoughts on a slip with a clip?

I'm interested, caramel color with dark green or red thread. You pick the shape?

I'm happy to see folks wanting to keep the tradition you started with a quality pocket slip for the BF offering. I'll be anxious to see what you come up with. I always enjoying seeing your new projects!

A slip with a clip might be a viable option, but a slip for this one should stay put and ride fairly high even without a clip. I've gotten in the habit of carrying a modern folder with a clip and a slipjoint 90% of the time so I don't know if I would use any pocket slip often for this one and I think this one will be a real user.

I carried this big BF 91 stockman in my back pocket along side my wallet over the weekend and it worked pretty well. I can see how this 81 could easily be a one knife carry option though so my opinions may change after a bit of time with a big slipjoint like this.

I carry a small Sebenza in a slip with a clip that you made (and it's the perfect carry for me), but it's my "Sunday carry/going out" knife and isn't fighting for pocket space.
 
You already know that I am very interested in keeping the tradition alive. I’d be down for a nice slip with a clip. Leather choice and tread color to be determined based on options. Thank you for considering this project and am looking forward to seeing what you come up with😉
 
Hey, Coleman. I did not see the value in the 2024 BF knife, so I did not get it. I have a Case Model 75 large stockman (4 1/4") that I might like a belt sheath for. If you do one for the BF knife, it could work for my Case.

Cheers, Brian
 
So this is currently where I’m at… these do not have a clip, but they could. :)

I threw this one in there for the fun of it…

I did try a quick belt slip, but not loving it. So that is gonna be put on hold…possibly indefinitely.

What are your thoughts on above slips? :)
They are in squeeze slip style and only sewn 2/3rds of the way up so if need be, you can get a grip on the 91.

Hey brother, I've sent you a message on just such a thing. I think there's a great idea here.

I think I’m gonna go with the Caramel leather (it’s so nice!) and just a regular slip, or one with a pocket clip. :)

You will see an order thread shortly. :)

For Sale Thread 'ALL SOLD and Closed - BF ‘24 Stockman Slip - preorder'

Well, folks, it’s that time again!

I’ll be doing a short run of slips for the big ol’ BF ‘24 Stockman!
This year, the leathers of choice are, super plush and great feeling, Caramel colored oil tanned, smooth and weathered Black/Green and brown python print. These will be lined with veg tan leather as most of my slips are. They will have natural edges, burnished and smooth.

I’ve been extremely busy this year and am glad I will have some time to slide some of these in.

There will be lots of options this year, so please read carefully so as to choose exactly what you want. :)

  • Love
