Ken Erickson stockman​


SOLD $1295 shipped conus, Paypal fees included​

I have been wanting to make a five blade stockman for a while now. Around the holidays my good friend Elliott (blues) sent me a copy of Collecting Case Knives,identification and price guide. While looking through it I spotted a Case 6592. This is my rendition of that knife. I like this pattern as it contains a punch blade, fitting for a stockman! While being a handful at 4 inches, 4 1/4 oz the knife is surprisingly thin at just over 5/8 (.645) at bolsters. Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I did making this one! Challenging for my first 5 blade knife but also very rewarding. While this being a prototype and my first 5 blade I wanted to point out that the master leans slightly to the pile side. You can say "I will take it" here, pm or email.

Thanks for the kind comments guys!

I am not able to add more than ten pictures to a post, here is one of the pile side scale.

That's really incredible work. Maybe the nicest I've seen for sale here. Being new to slipjoints, I know how much of a pain it is to do one blade but five blades is just insane.. I can't even imagine the patience and the skill it must have took. Congrats on the beautiful work.. YOU"RE THE MAN!
 
Holy Smokes!! Now That is a knife!! Very Nice Indeed!!
 
Great Knife Ken, do not understand how you can do such fine and detailed work.
I am loving the jigging and the color. Really looks like the old ones.
Thanks for putting it up, someone is going to get lucky. I wish I had the funds, but alas, I am broke.

That is fantastic. If only the fun money would allow, but as of yesterday morning I am broke.
