Nice stockman!! Actually, "Real Nice Stockman" !! Yeah, I'm a sucker for sowbellies too. I got this knife from Bill in Eugene a year or three ago. I was watching the cutting contest they had there and one of the tests was to cleanly cut a piece of 1 inch by 3 inch piece of paper (not sure of the exact size at the moment) that was inserted into a paper clip and hanging from a string. A formidable task for sure. Well, I got the idea to try it in my motel room with the paper in a clip tied to a piece of string and the string was tied to the lamp shade on the lamp. I had the sheepsfoot blade in the photo at ready. When the paper stopped spinning and decided to hang still, I gave it a quick slice and about a third of the paper just drifted to the floor. The top portion was still in the paper clip. Shocked the hell out of me. Now that is darn sharp! I guess you could say it was Rupled too.
