thank you 
I’ll post some more later but here’s the one in hand while I drink my first cup of coffee on the beautiful Sunday morning. View attachment 1333213
Here are three sizes of Camillus stockman. 303, 301 and 307. View attachment 1333215
Here is a group of Schrade med. Stockman from the mid to late 60’sView attachment 1333226
Not to be left out, here are some Camillus from 71-72View attachment 1333233
Here’s an interesting photo I just took. This photo represents the birth and evolution of a model/pattern.
Pictured are the first Med stockman Schrade made for Buck and then from top to bottom the evolution to the model you get if you buy a new one today. We see Schrade transiting to Camillus then the subtle changes Camillus made early on then the Camillus version that lasted from 72-86. Then the Buck take over in 85 and the small changes to that knife as they learn. We see Buck leaving Cali and the knives they now make in Idaho.i could probably bore you with a lot of info on blade steels and grinds as well but I’ll save that for the Buck collectors I’m just a Schrade and Camillus guy at heart.

Sometimes they are the beater, and other times the backup.

A pair of Gene Shadley 5 blade stockmans. You don’t see these in stag or black lip pearl often
always difficult to photograph black lip pearl.

A friend of mine, Dick, several years older and a retired state trooper, always had a Case bone-handled stainless steel premium stock knife in his pocket. After his passing several years ago, his widow has made me the caretaker of many of his knives, including these two:
These are gently used collectable pocket cutlery to most people, but they're pretty special to me. So Dick, I'm sure you're watching; I'm taking good care of them. And no, Susan didn't give them to me; I paid her a nickel a piece! T-A
