Hey Folks,
Being the novice but enthusiactic knife nut I am, I find my tastes in traditional knives constantly changing. This seemingly uncontrollable trait is very bad for my bank account but good in that my meager knife collection is growing in leaps and bounds. Two months ago the "Stockman" pattern would have been near the bottom of my list of favorites but after reading all the posts in the recent Stockman thread, I have found myself suddenly looking at and buying stockmans. This leads me to 2 or 3 questions that I have concerning stockmans. I will appreciate any information you could give me concerning these questions. One thing I have really come to appreciate is the vast knowledge that many of the members of this forum has and their willingness to explain some of my dumb questions. I appreciate being a part of this forum. My questions are:
1. I have noticed in many different writing on Case Stockman's that some are listed as "Preminum Stockman". What determines a "Preminum" prefix? Was there certain Case stockman patterns that were suppose to be of higher quality?
2. What Case stockman pattern(s) are your favorite?
3. Seeing some of the Schrade stockman knives that were shown on recent threads, I really have come to appreciate the look and quality of the stag Schrade stockmans. I have been unable to fully understand the Schrade numbering system. What are some of your favorite stag Schrade stockman numbers. I don't want to show my lack of knowledge and buy some immitation stag Schrade knive thinking it is real stag.
Thanks again for any help.
