Four Inch USA-Made Stockman: The Ultimate Jackknife

[Ironbut]

The bone on that last one is amazing.

Thanks. It's the chestnut jigged bone, but it was a little too bright red, (Says the guy with a bright red tractor & bright red pickup truck), so I used some dark brown dye to tone it down a bit. Here's a "before" pic:

Guess this is a much later one, likely stainless.
Bolster end to bolster end - exactly 4"

Paul, I have one of those, too. They are stainless, probably 440A, made by Schrade USA in 1995.

……..aaah, good to know. Thank you.

The fit n finish and general quality is utterly delightful

I suppose AI has its uses, but every time I think

AI will be the end of us whether it chooses to dress itself up as Arnold Schwarzenegger or not.

Some of these bolsters are rounder than others, but they're all stockmans and were all made in the USA. And 3 7/8" to 4 3/8" inches closed.

Are you kidding me, each of those are fantastic blades and look to be in great shape. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, Joe

I'm not ED, but here is a jumbo sowbelly stockman @ 4¼"

Western, as built by Camillus.

Kabar 1108.

Kabar 1108.

What is the closed length?
My 1108 stockman has a "regular" clip point, rather than the Turkish/California clip (I could never see a difference. Same blade different name?) and is 4 inches closed.

Well, I guess a 3 7/8" Sowbelly Stockman would fall in nicely the way this thread is going.

Mine is exactly four inches closed.

I can't see a difference between California, Turkish(, and yataghan) clips.

What is the closed length?

Mine is exactly four inches closed.

My 1108 is 4" as well. As I recall it is a Camillus #66 without the deluxe features.
