I was not sure whether to put this in traditional folders or here. Sorry if i guessed wrong. I need some advice. I have spend hours researching and now my head is just spinning.
I am looking for an affordable but well made, think Rough Rider or similar, pocket knife for fireside whittling. I have XL hands so would like something close to a 4" handle. I have been looking for a knife with a clip, sheepsfoot or wharncliffe, and pen blades. A coping would be welcome but just bonus material. I know Case makes such a beast in the medium stockman but they are out of my price range right now although I may just have to wait until one can be worked into the budget.
I found this layout in a knife by Frost Wild Turkey Cutlery but can not find out much info on the company or the steel used so am dubious. Seems as though most knives in this configuration are sub 3" size or have a spey instead of the pen like most RR stockman knives. Or they replace the clip with a spear point.
Any suggestions folks? I need to keep it under $25 as I just bought 2 new Beckers and an old Camilus before the whittler bug bit me. I do not mind used, and in fact, plan to hit a fleamarket this weekend where an old fellow has a lot of old knives. I just need to know what to look for. I do not care about collectibility or rarity either.
I appreciate the assistance.
