Stockman roundup.. Lets see 'em...

[knarfeng]

I've heard rumors to that effect. What is the fifth knife from the top in the left column? Thanks, Frank!

- GT

That's a 4" Queen in 1095 and stag.

 

[5K Qs]

Thanks for the ID, Frank.
I like the slim profile; I'll bet it carries well. And I like that type of stag almost as well as the more gnarly kind. With my rudimentary sharpening skills (or lack thereof), I think I'd prefer 1095 to Queen's D2, although I've never actually had D2. It's a good-looking stockman. Same basic frame as the knife 2 spots above it?

- GT

 

[knarfeng]

Yes, it is. It was an SFO at one of the larger knife emporiums.

 

[300Bucks]

Well, I will try for something different, maybe. How about a bone and green malachite handle Buck 301 from 2008. 300



Or maybe a 303, 2002, Black pearl.

D2 is a great steel for knives, don't need any skill to get sharp, and it keeps sharpness long...

Love that carhartt! How is the fit\finish on it. Looks like another one to seek out and buy!

I love the as ground blades. The bolsters have a nice brushed finish as well. No gaps. Snap is good except the punch is a little weak.

Newest addition to my stockman Family. Shrade Walden 8OT. I passed on a nice Uncle Henry Stockman because I already had a nice haul, but I'm kicking myself today for not grabbing that one as well. Maybe next time...

I got one about the same age.

I would say this is a very early 8OT [Pre 1965], looking at the Match-strick... Ken

If I can figure out how to post pictures with my "smart" phone (obsolete iPhone 4s), are the Rough Rider stockman and Buck 371 stockman welcome in this thread?

 

[jstrange]

^
I cant see why not.

 

[afishhunter]

Never mind.

 

[knarfeng]

The guideline is that we talk about the knives and not worry overly much about where they are made. OK to mention in passing, but not OK to make a big fuss about it.

That rule was developed at a time when discussions that started out as being about knives often devolved into accusations and political statements about the evils of certain Pacific Rim countries. I remember some of those threads. There will be no return to such goings on.

Some folks don't buy knives from certain countries, and that's OK.
Some folks do buy knives from certain countries. That's OK too.
It's not OK to preach about why either is correct or incorrect.

I'm looking at a GEC #66 Calf Roper because I believe it has a longer main blade than my Case Humpback Stockman. If anyone knows the length of the Calf Roper main or has both and can post photos, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks,

Alan

 

[LastRodeo]

Just so happens I have a 66 stockman in my pocket today. Main blade is 2.5".
