The Order Of The Cattle King (The Mighty Stockman)

Nice, deep stag on the Calf Roper dynamicmoves! Here's another one from Northfield.

Thanks Black Mamba!

^^^ That Stag #66 is a beauty Jeff. Mine is blood red bone and it's arguably my favorite GEC - battling neck n neck with my longpull spear Charlow "If I could only keep one..." knife.

One of the many knife patterns I enjoy carrying and using

The 3 smallest ones (Queen, Schrade, Ulster OT) have pen blades instead of the spey





The yellow bone Boker was EDC'd for many years it's held up really well, the 5 blade Moore Maker and Case 6318pu both have punch/awls



This knife I bought many years ago when I couldn't find a Case 64047p

Pete, that sowbelly stockman is a beast. What a great knife there, I'll bet that is a real workhorse. Love a sowbelly and have been eyeing those 5 blade versions for a while now.

Before finding this place, I carried a yellow delrin CV medium Stockman for about 15 years daily. I got another in Chestnut bone, CV bladed also, about a year ago and I've carried it often as well. Something about the stockman pattern just feels right to me and I think of it as a great every day, do anything kind of knife. My Chestnut is the 63032 pattern which replaces the spey blade with a pen, which I prefer. If I had to pick one knife to use for the rest of my life, it would be a stockman.

Used it in the garden tonight cutting twine to tie up some tomatoes.

This Sowbelly in smooth tobacco bone is from Rough Rider, really nice knife. Kindly sent to me by Uncle Andi :thumbup:

Been carrying this Buck 303 since Sunday - my favorite carry size (unless I'm hunting). OH

Another inherited from my brother. Just starting to get the edge back on these blades.

Interesting picture, Zieg! I think I see some cosmology going on in that picture.

 

[The Zieg]

Gevonovich, I was surprised how well that pic turned out. I have an old Nokia flip phone with a pretty poor camera, but the light was right and I had propped the knife up on a fence post, biting into the upright just enough to keep it from falling, so the angle just happened to be where those clouds were. I guess Vulcan/Hephaestus wanted to highlight the tool!

This morning's coffee and the trusty large Stockman always at the ready...

 

[johnny twoshoes]

Here is one I enjoy.

The Queen #9 is one of the great stockman patterns. Four inches closed, serpentine with round bolsters, it's big but very pocketable. This one in carved stag bone.

 

[jone]

I only have one right now, but searching and have been for a few months for another one.
Here is an older Western that I've been using quite regularly. The size is smaller at 3" closed and the spey is replaced by a pen, but it works for me. So for now, it's this one and still searching…
