Traditional of the month: Stockman

Stockmen are my favorite pattern, using the term losely, I admit. Here is a photo with one each of 13 different sizes and patterns.
Some are really cattlemen, some are sowbellys, one is a railsplitter, etc., but they all have the stockmen pattern of blades.
Some of these (Cubans) I have many multiples of different handle materials, but this is all the patterns and sizes.

From the left: MM 3-1/4", RR 3-3/8", UN-X-LD 3-1/2", RR 3-9/16", RAT 3-5/8", RR 3-3/4", MM 3-7/8", Queen 4", GEC 4-1/8",
UN-X-LD 4-1/8" 4-blade, Owl Head 4-3/16", Bulldog 4-1/4", MM 4-3/8"
 
Second task of the day for the small stockman: opening the package containing new hunter green bone for a rescale job on an old Camillus jack.

Hi Doug!

I have never seen these bone blocks before... Please, post about how you can rescale the knife. I would be glad seeing more if this... :)

Kind regards

I have neither the skills nor the equipment, so I'll be sending it to a craftsman who does. I'll PM you more info so as not to sidetrack the thread.
 
Thanks for asking that Humppa, I'm curious as well. I have a couple of my father-in-law's knives that could use some refreshing (a Schrade 340 this faded delrin, and a Western stockman with a busted bolster pin) and am curious where folks get parts for working on slippies. Sorry to derail the thread, but at least the knives I'm looking at fixing are both stockman!

There's a mail order place, but it occurs to me I shouldn't name them. The maintenance and tinkering sub-forum might be a place to ask, and/or a maker's subforum.

Here's a Camillus, a Western, and a Utica Kutmaster to get us back on topic.

Culpepper & Company have jigged bone for knives handles, you can buy it on-line, great service.

I really need to get my self a stockman.

I had a Scharade old timer about 28 years ago some one took it out of my jacket pocket when I hung it up at school. Never replaced it.

It was my first knife.
 
I have a few as it it one of my favorite patterns but every time I try to put something other than my GEC 56 in my pocket it comes back out again. The Case 63032 was my only pocket carry for many years. Look at the blade wear on the pen.

I very seldom carry a stockman so this is a good excuse for me to step out of my comfort zone. I'll be carrying this old dude for the duration.

I have already been carrying one, does it count? It's the right knife in the right month.

Used my 6318pu to scrape my pipe, received some nice tobacco today, used the sheepsfoot and the punch to start a new peach pit carving, and usd the clip to prep my mirepoix for soup.
 
I've got too many to just go monthly, so I go weekly. I'll show my stockman colletion though....
