Hey all,

I just picked up a Henckels 4 bladed 4" Stockman and I am impressed :thumbup:
This knife is a beast, albeit a polite one in blue jigged bone. Fit and finish are excellent, it walks and talks with the best of my knives, came fairly sharp out of the box, and is one of my few crinked blade knives with little or no blade rub. I like the addition of the long thin drop point with the standard set of stockman blades

I'm sorry I don't have a pic (yet), I just haven't had time to photograph any of my knives. If you're looking for a stockman that's a bit different and well made, check this one out!
 
I have 5 of the 4 bladed Henckels myself. I bought them a couple years ago on close out. Very nice knifes indeed, like some German made knives they do sometimes sneak out of the factory with a very weak snap. In case you did not know they are made by Boker.
 
I have a few also. Knowing they are made by Boker when I purchased. I put them above recent Case knives in every aspect and below GEC. In some ways they can exceed GEC IMO. All of mine have zero gaps and zero blade play. They all have great snap. They are all underbladed but it doesn't bother me. Most of them are not as flush where the backspring meets the back square. They don't have pinned shields and I have one that came with the shield already fallen off. On the other hand I have my pearl whittler that has seen tons of use and its as good as the day it was new. Better actually ;)

All in all I really like mine.

I hope to see a picture.
 
Didn't know they were made by Boker, though I had an inkling when I saw the bone jigging style, just like my Boker Copperhead. The lack of gaps was something else that impressed me, and for the price I'm happier than a you know what. :D

This one will see lots of pocket carry for sure. For a big knife it isn't overly heavy or as bulky in my pocket as I thought it would be as soon as I opened the box.
 
I've been edcing one for a while now. It's blade selection is great! I really like having that extra long skinny clip blade. (it doesn't look like a drop point to me?)

That's the one! I'm never sure whether to call that style of blade a muskrat/Turkish/California clip or a drop point. All I'm sure of is that it will be very handy for fishing this summer!
