At least one of these I know The Fort will appreciate. Actually, I bet Lance appreciates them both! View attachment 2866801View attachment 2866802View attachment 2866803

Yes sir Dave! Those two are right up my alley! I actually had my IXL Schrade stockman out yesterday, admiring it.

Western Stockmans

 

[DaveHS]

Nice pair of Stockman.

Since they have three backsprings what is your theory for the undersize Spey and Sheepsfoot blades ... the same size as found on a two backspring stockman?
I've never comprehended why they can't use three full length blades when each has its own spring.

A two spring Trapper, Moose, Muskrat, and (2 blade) Folding Hunter all have full length "secondary" blades the same length as the clip primary.
Why "can't" a three spring stockman have a full-length Spey and Sheepsfoot (or Lamb Foot, or Ram Foot, or Wharncliffe) blade?
Why do they insist on a half full Spey and Sheepsfoot blade well? I doubt adding equal size blades would increase the weight more than a couple grams at most, so weight can't be their excuse.

Steve, I have wondered the same! We need waynorth to weigh in on these weighty questions.

I think the charm as well as the utility of the stockman is because of its three different size blades.

I love the wharncliffe secondary on my Osage Dixie Stockman. Fun to mix in the sweet 29 sheepsfoot.

The 47 Case is a great Premium Stockman pocketknife. I have several, here are a couple 63047 from 1978; one well preserved, the other well used - both loved. OH

The Dixie is a great interpretation, and I wish GEC would start offering Osage Orange again. I have 3 Dixies and prize them but I would really like a smaller version too, but it has yet to materialize.........
