This should make Blues Blues head explode but I’m good with it. I’ve got a 21 slot Nalpak Pelican 1300 that’ll be here Wednesday.

Here are the ground rules:

1. Looking for nine (9) knives total.
2. Will only consider USA made OR true German Böker Tree Brand.
3. Love Case and Buck.
4. Would prefer bone, stag handles, staying away from man made handles.
5. Would prefer “Stockman” or like models around the 3.75” to 4” length closed.
6. Blades must be SS.
7. Authorized dealers only...can be eBay.
8. No used knives.


Thanks in advance.
 
Case, Buck, Bear and Sons, eventually Schatt and Morgan, if the new owners ever go into production and improve their quality significantly, based on the photos I've seen, and GEC, if you want to spend that much, and can find one before they are sold out to the flippers. (some patterns/runs sell out inside one or two minutes of being released.)

While not USA, there is Grohman, out of Nova Scotia, Canada. They make a couple traditional folders, not just the Canadian Belt Knife skinner.
Another German brand to consider is PUMA. I'm pretty sure they still make a stockman, and Euro Scout/Camp/Sportsman's knife.

You might be able to find a New Old Stock (NOS) Utica Stockman or Barlow. Utica is still going, as far as I know, but dropped all the traditionals from their lineup a couple years ago.

Thank you! I was unaware of Grohman, but after perusing their site I will definitely have one of those. I might try a Bear & Sons provided the dealer has a good return policy. I’ve read some things, but they may/may not be accurate.

In any event, thanks again.
 
I collect Tuna Valley knives, made in Titusville, PA. There's a large variety out there. This is their newest pattern, lots of different handle and steel combinations.
