Does anyone know where I might find a recent production knife as described in the subject?

I like the Moore Maker x305, but it has a spey blade.

I like the Ontario/RAT cattleman (has the right blade shapes), but it's unsharpened Queen D2.

Does anyone make what I'm looking for?

The Shapliegh's equal end cattle knife (a Parkers brand) is a punchblade stockman with a sheepfoot. It's also a very nice knife all around.

Here's one at an ebay auction that I'm not affiliated with:

Edited: The Ontario RAT folder also has this configuration. You can see one here:

I have both of these knives and I like them both a lot.
 
Hi Longbeachguy:

How are the backsprings on the Ontario? I've been tempted, but like my slipjoints solid and nailbreaking.

Best regards.
 
They're very solid, but not stiff. It's got good stong action in my opinion.

I should mention that the Ontario has D2 blades. I didn't notice the question called for 1095 first time around. The Shaplieghs has 1095.
 
Thanks for the links, longbeachguy. (FWIW, my sister lives down there.)

I've got a few Shapleighs on my watch list. Good tip.

The RAT is one I'm already considering. Though as I mentioned in the OP, I'm not a fan of D2, at least when I have to put the initial edge on it. I've read the reviews of this knife here.

I'm either too darn picky or I've already got too many knives. It's getting harder to find something new I actually want.

Para,

After the initial sharpening of the clip and sheepsfoot on the RAT folder, it's a darn fine knife for carry. I was a bit disappointed that it came as dull as it did but now I love it.
 
I know it's not a production knife but here is a nice 4" Bose Stockman w/punch, too beautiful to not be included in the talk about such things.
