Any brass 44s for sale?

My daily duties don't require much of a knife based on my current location (and wearing slacks), but if I had to choose a single knife based on overall versatility and appearance, my chestnut stockman would easily rank #1. My recovered Schrade 50T would be right behind it.

However, if I were to move back toward the mountains where visually larger blades are well accepted (and wearing jeans), I'd be totin' my GEC 73.

Sorry to overcomplicate a seemingly simple thread. It's just not that easy for me!

That shrade is nice

Sheesh, I'm trying to cut back and having trouble getting under 300! Large stockman for me, too. I have too many to choose from, but it would be one of these two in stainless.

WOW!!! I got to the game a bit late, so I don't own a GEC stockman (yet). I've wanted an Elderberry since I first saw them, but that one is making me have second thoughts.

Both. Depends on what else I am carying. I have a slip for my 23s that works.

Is that a DB barlow by chance?

For me it would have to be a big, traditional-patterned stockman. Favorite using knife of all is a Western 742.

Yes. Back when Queen was still making them in D2.

My 98 Texas Camp Knife. I’ll be eternally grateful to B BOHAWG for selling me what is essentially my grail traditional folder.

I’m still grabbing the GEC 71.

I found a Schrade 125OT on my way to school when I was in grade school. It stayed in my pocket every day until I misplaced it sometime in my twenties. I think if I had to choose one knife to carry, the 125 would be it.
