Besides the Buck Solitaire, does anyone else make a single blade stockman? I would like one about the same size (3 7/8")
 
Hi ASBOB!

As much as I know, stockman knives are traditionally made with three blades. I´ve never heard about a onebladed stockman. But I´m open for more info. The Buck Solitaire isn´t a stockman for me (personally). To me, it´s a single bladed knife with the typical Buck/Camillus frame.

Well, but maybe I´m educated in another way...

Kind regards
Andi
 
There are plenty choices for a one blade traditional knife, with clip point, spear, wharncliffe blade options, but as Andi said above, these aren't stockmen.
What would you prefer, scale, handle, blade type and steel ?
 
Case made a few a while back, But you can still find them around.It has Antique peachseed
jigged bone. Here's a pic. it's the middle one Med. Stockman

A premium stock knife(aka stockman) is typically made with 3 blades. Most common configuration is clip master, sheepsfoot and spey blade. You often times will see a punch or pen blade in place of the spey blade. There are also four and five blade premium stock knives.

Asbob,

I think the proper term for what your looking for would simply be "jack" which happened to be built around a serpentine stock knife frame. Another alternative for you to consider would be a two blade knife sometimes referred to as a "Texas Jack" or "Premium Jack". You would have a clip master and pen(usually) secondary.
 
ken erickson- I thought a "jack" pattern had at least two blades opening from the same side, and that a single blade knife was no longer a jack? Was I misinformed?
OP- Aside from the few already mentioned the only other one I know of is the single blade stockman made by Gerber. Not really my thing, but you might like it.

I would have to say, yes. There are many single blade knives that are considered "jack" patterns. Many Barlow's for example are single bladed and are perhaps one of the most recognized of all jack knives. Also consider the "English Jack", commonly encountered with a single blade. Where it can get confusing is when you throw in the mix, double ended jacks, pen knives etc:eek:

How much is your budget? Hiroaki Ohta makes a very nice version of the knife you are looking for.

OK, thanks! I guess I just thought wrong, and I didn't look it up (heard from a friend) so it was always a huge possibility that I was wrong. Thanks a bunch for clearing it up! :thumbup:
 
For 3 7/8" you'll want Case's pattern # 6147. That's the top one shown in Jason's pic. I've got one in red delrin. Very slim and pocket friendly.
 
In some ways, GEC's pattern 73 single blade might well fill the vacancy. Plenty of handle choice: stag, woods, bones, acrylics. Double bolster or Barehead according to your preference.
