I just received this #81 Northfield Abiline in African Blackwood yesterday - a beauty to say the least. This is my third Stockman now. This one is 4" closed and I particularly like the long-pull. The fact that the spines of the main Clip and Spey blades are flush with one another makes this one more sleek. Typically it seems the spine of the Spey blade rides a bit higher than the main blade in the Stockman pattern. On my #66 Calf Roper and my Case large Stockman this is def true.
 
"We can provide the tools for the next generation. We can give them a break from the continuous feed of worldy propaganda, so they can actually contemplate a bit. We can help them put aside their smartphones for a little while, and experience the thoughtfulness that has wrought all the greatness on our planet. Their own thoughts! Imagine that!!

Give them books! And teach them how to read with contemplation!

Give them knives!! And teach them how to use them safely and creatively. Even if you just make a pile of shavings, your thoughts are your own when you whittle a stick. Not some search engine's, nor anyone else's..."

Sometimes minimal is satisfying. It's not expensive, nor flash but it is a flinty and very well-finished knife. Takes up little room, is very grippy and sharp. No issues on this one whatsoever. Buck knives are in many ways an American version of SAK: well-made,consistent and dependable. Thanks, Will

I've been carrying that one's twin the last few days. Has yours been reground or something? Your clip comes back a lot closer to the nail-nick than mine -- looks good!

Thank you! To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure as I won it some years ago. :D It does look a little different from my yellow one but not much, and it takes a devilish edge! I'm very fond of this modest little knife as it is so well finished, it gets a lot of my time.

Regards, Will

Very cool, the bone with the blues and whites looks like ice in that pic.

And this one. I just took pictures of it.
