Sowbelly Stockman

[JohnDF]

I think it's a great knife.
That being said, it wasn't for me.
The excessive curves of the knife made it feel chunky in-hand.

I like the looks. If GEC ever makes one, might try to pick up a user.

The only Sowbelly that I have is a Case with a single blade, I really like it and it is very comfortable in the hand. I’m a fan of knives with one blade, but that’s just me.

My grail knife for a while was a BB Winchester 3 blade sowbelly stockman in jigged bone. When I finally found one , it was such a heavy pocket load that I gave it to my son. He was born and the knife made in "89.--KV

I discovered it by chance and fell in love.

It's a little heavy, but a really well made and beautiful design. You know when you are holding it that you have a heavy duty tool in your hand.

The Yellow Belly.

I just ordered a couple of inexpensive models to try them out: a rough ryder micarta sowbelly stockman and a winchester checkered bone sowbelly (not a stockman, as it has three larger blades). I'm excited to see what they are like in hand, and to try two brands I've not tried before.

I too am a fan of one bladed knives. A big fan actually. Just this weekend I bought two identical sowbellies, I love that red delrin with the patriotic shield.

This Case XX Classic is very slim in the pocket. GEC is well overdue for this pattern.

Nice one, Gev!
Isn't that shield usually installed in the opposite orientation?

That's how it was hanging from the tree

That is a captivating knife, Tim!


I like Sowbelly knives. At first, I was simply attracted to the aesthetics of its curves and such but the knife in hand is quite a wonder. I only have a few but they are terrific users. I've been hunting for a Black Box Winchester and a decent Case with Bone covers in CV for awhile now but I'm very pleased with the ones I do have.

That is a great looking Moore Maker! Love the blade configuration...... the cigar's not bad, either.

Those were made by Queen, same as this greenbone sowbelly whittler from Bulldog.
