Large Stockman Recomendations?

I vote for the Mooremaker 3 7/8 inch punchblade stockman in either Delrin or Buffalo Horn. These are made for MM on contract by Camillus. The bone and Stag MM's are made by Queen. I don't have anything against the Queens, in fact I have never held one. However I have the Delrin and Horn models, and they are my favorite carries. I also have a Case large stockman in CV. Nice but not enough snap in the springs. Also too rounded and overpolished. I also have an Indian head from the Olbertz Solingen factory. Very nice but the MM's a little bigger. MM's 1095 carbon is great as well.

If you want something kind of fancy that also makes a great user, Fightin Bulls are great but you have to watch what kind of steel is used. Wendell Carson makes these knives and sells them on ebay under the name Knifeman 110. I think a lot of the parts come from Queen and Olbertz. I think he uses a lot of 420 HC but also other steels as well. You just have to watch that if it makes a difference to you.
 
I keep finding the buffalo horn and the delrin but no bone. Who sells the bone versions of Moore Makers?

What should I expect to pay for a buffalo horn version?

You can get them straight from Moore Maker at:

OR I have seen an Ebay seller that regularly carries Moore Makers and has a good reputation.

Cowboy Knife Sales, here is his Ebay store.

Another Ebay Store that carries Moore Makers and has a god reputation is Sooner State Knves:

Yeah, I was going to mention them too, but I thought he was looking for a 4" or greater stockman. The delrin or buffalo horn Mooremaker cannot be beat, and the round bolsters make for a good pocket carry and are comfortable to use. The Queens have a square bolster and I find Mooremaker working models made by Camilus to be easier on the hand and pocket--not to mention pocketbook.
 
I personally, have the queens, moore makers stockmans, etc. etc. etc. but I still prefer the old tradtional case large stockman in CV.

The "fit anf finish" of Case in general, is not as good as it use to be, but you can get places like shepherdhills to hand pick one for you (at no extra cost).
 
Here's another great place to buy Queen, Schatt-Morgan, Mooremaker and others. Bill Horn is tops in my book...will take anything back if you are not satisfied...price are competative . Incidentally in an email Bill told me he expected to have the Camillus made Mooremaker in soon, but that was weeks ago, and I still only see the Queen made Mooremakers in bone listed.

Bill Horn has bone handled Moore Makers and they are cheaper than at the Moore Maker site. Also, the two I ordered from him on two different occasions arrived in MN 48 hours later.

IIRC, the bone handled Moore Makers are made by Queen, and the Buffalo Handled versions are Camilus.
