Learn me something about Simmons hardware hornet, my friends.

What’s the story with Simmons hardware hornet knives? I’m considering picking up a stockman but am curious. Are they carbon or stainless? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks y’all!

The Simmons Hornets are Solingen made with carbon steel blades. The medium stockman I had was VERY nice with smooth pulls and very good F&F.

Hey, don't listen to that guy! ^^^^^
He is obviously craaaaazy, I mean what kind of sane person would sell this knife!

Opps I forgot the serious part of my post.

I just got this one from Jeff a couple days ago and I reeeealy like it. 3 1/2" is smaller than I normally like to carry, 3 7/8" seems to be the sweet spot for me, but this one just melts into my hand. Like Jeff said, the F&F is very good. I will definitely be looking for others from this time period.

black mamba Jeff, do you know who made these?

My guess would be Olbertz of Solingen, Germany.

Who said he sold it?
He could have lost it, or given it to one of his descendants.

Nice stockman, by the way.
