From Cattle Knife to Stockman!

BUMP!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Finally I get to post here!, I am sorry I don't have a lot of Stockmans at all to really...
Western, Jigged Bone- the most common Blade configuration of the Stockman...

Henckels J.A, Some Vintage examples small to big...

Small J.A Henckels Stockman - No Spey, instead a Pen Blade..

Slightly Bigger J.A Henckels - with the Spey this time, amazing Quality built Knives these Vintage J.A's...

The bigger Tank, over 4" inches closed and a solid beast of a Knife! "Premier Stockman Etched deeply into the Clip-Point..

Some of my examples of "Cattle Knives" in Charlies CATTLE KNIVES Thread.. POST 67 +

Nice collection of Henckels, Duncan. They made some good quality knives!!
Nice Stag!!!

The wondeRful Build of these Knives is simply amazing, Camillus or Schrade perhaps, Sears so I am thinking Camillus, I think the pins tell the secret Calvin explained one day- cant find it right now.
A rather more plainly finished Knife- in the manner of Handle Material- if this was Stag, jigged Bone etc- people would climb over themselves to get such a Knife- The Walk and Talk is superb on this Knife- Tough Tank of a Knife...I like it very much!

mmmm a Bowie Stock Knife eh?

Heres a nice solid Tank -of-a-Knife by Richartz Solingen ( Whale blowing spout of water on Tang )

Often I just get out a Magnifying glass and look at the Jigg work- trying to pick up different tales in the workmanship- untrained eye and untrained in what to look for Im afraid- but I appreciate Jig Work like you wouldnt believe- this example is stunning in the Hand.....

Rather full Blades, Deeply Etched into the Cip Point " Premium Stock "

Another Stock Knife, this example with lovely Horn Scales is by Sheffield's C. Johnson, Western Stock Knife deeply etched into The Clip...

Here is the Three Premium Stock Knives Of Henckels, Richartzs and C.Johnson together as comparisons, all very big SOLID Tanks of Knives, all three having a Serpentine Frame 4+ inches closed, all the standard Blade configuration....

Henckels again, I love the deep Valley in the nice Stag..

Henckels Clip Point Etch...

Richartz Clip Point Etch...

C. Johnson's Clip Point Etch....

The three together for easier comparison..

I consider the Stockman with a Punch the close " intermediate" of the Cattle to Stockman, this is my personal opinion simply because of the Punch.

I was gifted this Standard Sized Western Stockman, Harry is one cool guy- I can still see him standing there at the Rendezvous handing me this Knife- amazingly built, Someone attacked the Knife with a Grinder and the tip was broken on the Main, this Sweetheart of a Knife rides shotgun with one of his bigger Brothers on edc day with- this thing slices through anything!
I really like the Bone...
Before the "re tip" ( check out the mean wee Swedge on the Spey! )

with Punch..

After the "re - Tip"

A very Standard Stockman that has been there and done that,
Ulster Knife Co. Stamp

 

[Campbellclanman]

Wee Slender Pocket friendly ( Sunken joints ) Old Timer Stamped Ulster, Still a Stockman ...

Here...Here we have one of my most favourite Knives, one of Charlies SFO's, side by side with his 77 Washington Jacks this being one of THE most beautiful Stockmans or knife as a fact I own,
The Colouring of the gorgeous Jigged Bone is outstanding, The Slanted Bolsters, the sleek Frame.... outstanding Knife! I love the shape of the Spey- Just real Class!

Campbellclanman, that Old Timer with the sunken joints is fantastic.

I can join the JA Henckels stockman party with these two. The little reddish brown one is about 3.25" closed and is pretty pocket friendly. The Premium Stockman, much less so.

There is something heartwarming about an old, well-loved Stockman!! Thanks for the pics, Duncan , Tomboy and Gev!!

You thought right! A real looker. I can't make out the maker?

I don't know anything about Edge Mark other than I like this knife. I picked it up of the exchange a few years ago but don't remember who from. You can clearly see my research was extensive.
