The stockman punch thread

Just seen this thread and I couldn't agree more. This model is PERFECT FOR ME. I love the stockman but never use the Spey blade. The awl is awesome for scrapping, poking, light prying and many other uses. Sheepsfoot and clip blade is the 2 best blade shapes for me also. Throw in a awl and perfection!!

Agreed. I had the amber bone version and liked it so much, I bought one in yellow. Case Punch Stockmans.jpg

I recommend that you get the whole set, cut it out. :) Ever since Case discontinued the CV Swayback Jack, I realized that if I like a knife a lot, even if it seems like a popular model, it could become scarce so it couldn't hurt to pick up a spare.

WValtakis-I recently learned they do make whittler patterns with an awl. Go to the large auction place, type in "whittler punch" and see what comes up-I was shocked, pleasantly so.
Thanks, Neal
 
Here's an example of an old Premium stock knife with a whittler construction. The term whittler is modern and wasn't used back then. It was just called a premium stock knife. The smaller versions were sometimes called junior premium stock knives.

The word "whittler" is now used to describe a wide range of patterns that have a main blade riding on both springs and secondaries on separate springs. Some pen knives. Some stock knives. Etc.

The equal end Tuna Valley knife is a cattle knife. A stock knife is always serpentine.

Would love to have a few of these. Thanks for the pictures Jake, catalog materials add so much! I wonder-did the Anglo-Saxon go one to be the sleeveboard pattern? Wlfry Jr might get a kick out of the budding knife.
Thanks, Neal
 
I was perusing a site, actually looking for a cam-lock I thought they had(what brands used it? Camillus exclusively?) and happened upon a four bladed Sears knife w/punch. Such a useful addition!
Thanks, Neal
 
Thanks knarfeng. I bought a split back Rough Rider the other day. I was surprised by how much knife you can get for $10. However, I'm a Case Stockman snob. I guess. I just haven't found a better one.

And to keep it on topic, I cut up some ham for my mac and cheese today at lunch with my Case yellow handled Stockman with punch. I also reset a gfci breaker with the punch and trimmed a fingernail. Good all around knife.
 
Thank you, guys. Neal, The Cam-lock was only from Camillus. I think the "Cam" stands for "Camillus" but I may be mistaken. Basically the retro power switch disengages the liner lock. Much older knives from Remington used a button to accomplish the same thing on several patterns including radio knives and stock knives. Fitting for this topic, Remington made a stockman with a locking punch and a button lock release--it's very rare.

Thanks for the heads up:) Unfortunately all the ones I found replaced the coping blade with the punch instead of the pen blade:( My coping blades (modified to wharnies) are the ones I use most often.
