The City Stock!!!

I think Bill always saves the best jigging for you waynorth waynorth 🧐

He does it himself right? in that special room not open for tours or prying eyes 🤓


Dont tell anyone as its a secret,he does it at night alone, under candle light, in a room in the loft while listening to old wireless radio shows. 😁
 
Looks good, but I have to ask, wouldn’t the sheep’s foot blade be infinitely more useful in the city than the spey blade?
Of all the blades of a stockman to omit, my preference would be to see the spey gone and add a second sheep’s foot or coping blade.

I can understand the lines flow better without the sheep’s foot standing proud, but to call it a city stock whilst retaining the only blade designed for country chores like castrating critters makes me scratch my head a bit.

Plenty of stray cats in the city need sorting out. 😁
 
Keep going!! I like big families!!
Our first great-grandchild was born last month!!! The more the more wonderfully merrier!!
I have 5 siblings myself, unfortunately with the cost of living we will be 4 and done! 3 sons so far and decided to find out gender this time. 4 boys for us!

Congratulations on the great grandchild that’s very exciting news. Hope all is well there.

Jeff @black mamba turned the spear into a sheepsfoot. One of my favorite knives!!

Of course this one has 2 backsprings..... Looking forward to your release Charlie!

I bought an ebony and a micarta and chopped the spears into sheepsfoots just like that. I ended up selling both a few years ago. There was another guy that also did it. (Edit to add… I just saw you ID’d the modder) I cant remember if I got the idea from him or he did from me. Either way I think it made the knife a million times better
 
Here is the main inspiration for the City Stock!!View attachment 2629533View attachment 2629534
Schrade made a nice version, (above) and Case also made a City Stock, on their #47 frame!! This is the 05247SP!! Case XX over U.S.A. makes this knife from 1965 to 1969!!Case City Stock A.jpgCase City Stock B.jpgCase City Stock C.jpg
A nice knife, with a single spring, and the round bolsters of the ubiquitous Case Large Stockman!!
 
This is my first and it’s a boy, I decided to settle down much later in life and convinced the wife to start all over. I have 2 step kids that are 20 and 17.
Sounds like this will just top off the family then. Enjoy the ride mate they’re great fun!

Congratulations, mine is due in the next couple weeks.

Congrats y'all!
Me & the wife are currently childless but we do have a nephew due here soon, maybe in the next two weeks. We're looking forward to it 👍

Also on a knife related note I'm looking forward to this release too 😂

Maybe I can snag one for him for future use🤞🤔
