Yeh, no kidding! That may be the best combination of blades I've ever seen, and I never even heard of that one. What a gem!

Dennis, I'm really diggin' that appaloosa, too. Is it a big horn?
 
Some very cool lookin' cattle patterns in here. I may have to break down one of these days and find one for myself...Thanks for sharing those images, fellas. :thumbup:
 
Jeff -- Maybe you can tell us which ones are 2-spring knives and which ones are 3-spring knives. I wouldn't imagine any of them are 4-spring knives but then again .............. .

Ed, only the 3-blade whittlers have 3 backsprings, however they are narrower than the springs on the 2-spring, 3-blade knives (stockmen).
I took measurements of thickness at the center pin from each type, averaging 3 knives for each: 1 acrylic, 1 smooth, 1 jigged.

3 Backspring Average = .603"
2 Backspring Average = .583"

That's a difference of only .02, or 1/50 of an inch, and you don't have to krink any blades!
 
Dang, I got too many Cubans to count :) .

Here is a collection of 2007 Stockmen.

Thanks for the info Jeff. I had a Whittler and got rid of it because I didn't like it's thickness/girth. Even though it's a small amout, the third spring is a deal-breaker for me. I'll have to look into getting one of the 2-spring stockmans.
 
Ed, if that small amount makes a difference, then you should look for one in bone, and even smooth bone, as it is the thinnest of the bunch. In fact, the 3-spring jigged bone I measured was .002" thinner than the 2-spring acrylic was.

Nice spread, Eric, I especially like the brimstone bone, but alas, I'm still looking for one!
 
That Appalosa Bone on the knife Dennis showed us has turned my world upside down!! It looks almost mythical....They need to do some more knives in that.
 
one of the most awesome 3d's in a while, never seen so many knives of the same pattern!
man! liking the pattern even more now...
