I have a 1977 version of the 6347 that's a great stockman. Don't know if yours is a "47" pattern or a "75" or "92" (any of which are excellent).

Send me the pix via email and I'll post 'em up for you from my personal (non-bladeforums) account.

Elliot, mine is a "87PE" pattern that I really like. It looks like it was used well by someone who took care of it and used it but didn't abuse it. I find myself reaching in my pocket for this one instead of my GEC dog leg jack when I need to cut something. Wish I could hear the stories of where this knife has been and what it has seen through the years, as it's older than I am.
 
I'm finally home. I haven't been here since December 7.
I'm finally carrying my 2010 forum knife. It is as close to perfect as I could have hoped for.
I am also carrying my new Henckles stockman that I was given in a giveaway and an Old Timer 8OT that Karen found for me.
I'm in heaven right now so I may not take pics for a while. ;)
 
Today I'm toting this excellent Schatt & Morgan Gunstock which was recently acquired in a trade. This knife is all kinds of smooth and excellent.

Thanks, Mike. We based it upon Ken's father's Case "Texas Jack" (1970's vintage) with some modifications to the jigging and secondary blade at my request. I'm very pleased with the way the knife turned out and it's much nicer than even the images convey. :thumbup:

If I get the chance to work with another maker on a new knife, it may be something like this. I like a stockman due to the sheepshoot but the spay/pen is often not used. The blade choices you made on the same frame is the best of all worlds. I like the wharncliffe better than the modified version as it has that sharp point in addition to flat edge. Great job!

Thanks, Luciano (and Trand). It's hard to tell in the images but the modified wharncliffe blade actually has a very slight/subtle curve up to the tip. Not what you'd really call a "belly".
 
Elliott, just saw that jack, man! that must be a crazy slicer, the tips look pointy and very useful for edc
compliments and great taste as usual

My most carried traditional, an Al Warren in s30v. I wish more traditional knife makers would use this steel.

 
Today I'm totin' my recently aquired old Utica/Kutmaster stockman that I picked up at a gunshow the handle appears to be made of some sort of fake jigged bone either way it looks and cuts good and will make a user.
 
Elliott, that Coats jack is super! Maybe one of those is my "ideal knife"...

That's a fine specimen there. I know the S30v is great steel, but those scales are magnificent. Are they dyed stag or something else? - Ed J

Once I got past the overblown aesthetics of this one I found it to be a sturdy and satisfying EDC.

I used the Furtaker Trapper in the kitchen making dinner, but the brand new Conductor's going to be in my pocket tonight at work.

Thanks, guys. Ed, I'm leery of calling anything "ideal" but I don't think you could go wrong with one. It'll do whatever you ask of it and D2 is a great steel (imho).

Thanks, Ed. I like it a lot, but wish it had a shield. The scales are dyed jigged bone. The knife is 3 3/4" closed.
 
Back to this one today. I sure love a slender little muskrat clip for opening mail!

I use the sheepfoot for cardboard and rougher tasks, and the spey . . . I don't think I've ever drawn the spey. I guess it's "for flesh only." :p
