Four Inch USA-Made Stockman: The Ultimate Jackknife

[Mens Abdita]

I really love my 858OT. It has a remarkable great walk and talk. All three blades are about a 5, and it has a very satisfying snap when closing. I really should carry it more often....

I never acquired one of these. Prices on nice ones on the 'bay are high. Always heard good things about this sturdy knife, thanks for sharing.

You've got a nice collection started but you're still missing a few
Buck offered Sawcut grey workman in '86 , red jigged bone in '88, Sawcut red in '89, Sambar stag in '90 brown Buckbone in '91, brown bone in '98, then the Cherry wood chairman signature series, the brass and rosewood, & black laminate.
There was also a darker smooth red.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Camillus 88 with the lock on the clip blade.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Camillus 88 with the lock on the clip blade.

It's probably because they're not particularly common or at least not commonly known about.

I've never had one of the slide lock Camillus knives so I don't really know how they work, but I'd expect the Camillus 88 to be fairly popular if they were more well known.

De•sighed•dead to carry my Bicentennial (1776-1976) Imperial stockman a bit more for the 2026 semiquincentennial (1776-2026).
Size is the same as the venerable Old Timer 8OT.


I am shocked I remained in the census long enough to see USA's 150 "birthyear" ... I expected to only hit 53-54 ... yet hear i is at near 71. (While I r not complaining, me ex- wife, younglings, and most of my siblings are ... "upset" ... that i r not 6' under yet ... coarse fir 2 err 3 of my sibs, i is 6' under s'far as they's concerned. oh well ... they's loss my gain, I suppose ...

Also hard to believe this Imperial is 50-51 ("Earth") "years" old. It in bester shape than I was @ that age.
("older" in Mercury & Venus "years" ... or "younger" for Mars and beyond "years")
