Reverse Gunstock Stockmans

[lithicus]

When reading about Case patterns, I came across the old 32 (not to be confused with the 032). I was impressed because it was the only case knife with 3 blades and half stops on each one.

This quickly became one of my favorite knives of all time. I later found a slightly larger 4 inch Queen reverse gunstock stockman. And just this morning I picked up a Fight'n Rooster in stag.

I think this is an underappreciated pattern and I'd love to see everyone's pictures! Maybe there are knives I'm unaware that I would like to add to my collection. So, post your pics!!

None of your photos are showing up for me, but here is my favorite Schatt & Morgan gunstock stockman, a 4.3" jumbo.

Oh weird the pictures show up on my phone but not on my computer! Hopefully this works for you guys...

EDIT: I updated the original post. So, I'm hiding these duplicate pics inside of a spoiler tag.

I do love these Queens! Hopefully you guys can now see mine above. I believe my Queen is from 1991, the first release of Queen's Keystone series. I believe I found out about this particular reverse gunstock stockman from some of your posts actually black mamba !! So thank you!

They're showing now, and well worth the wait! Here are a couple more I foolishly let go some years ago.

This Rough Rider stockman seems to have the same basic shape as your reverse gunstock stockmans, with 2 blades pivoting on the thicker end of the frame, but mine doesn't have the well-defined "bump" characteristic of a gunstock pattern.

That is a great little pattern, GT! I've had a few of those myself. 3-⅜" closed.

Thank you Charlie!

Winterbottom bone I believe! 1993 Series III. Very nice! Yours has a pen blade instead of a spey, like mine. I much preferred these models with the pen blade!

This one has me stumped!! It has 2009 on the spay blade. But, the bone looks a lot like the Corncob bone from the 1994 Series IV. Interesting!

I believe this red bone one is from the Series II in 1992. That stag is gorgeous and apparently from 1992 as well!

Oh interesting! I was not aware of this pattern. You're definitely right... it's not a gunstock. But, it's not far off! It almost looks like a serpentine sleeveboard
