Who carries a Stockman

I have a large Case CV and a medium Schrade 100th anniversary that was put out right before they sold off the company. Camera is busted at the moment so I'll try to remember to post pictures once I get it working or replace it.
 
A stockman was the only knife I carried until I started "collecting". I still have a few in rotation and if I had to choose just one, a large stockman would probably make the cut.

For years I went back and forth between Trappers and Stockmen. I have a few other options that I mix it up with now but I still love a good stockman.
 
Without a doubt my favorite pattern. I carry one regularly. The blue bone gets the most pocket time.

 
This one still gets carried more than most. I have to clean and oil it at the end of most days, but that goes with the territory of doing stuff outside when it's hot & humid... which is most days of the summer season down here.

MMM, superb photo! I have your knife's twin near me as I type. It is usually my daily carry (with a Buck 307 as the chief competitor). The Old Timer 8OT is a great knife, with lots of character, especially those Schrade Walden matchstriker years.
 
Boker (USA), CAM, Camillus, Old Timer, Uncle Henry, Case, Imperial, Ranger, Buck. I guess I do like them ;-p I carry a 3 7/8" - 4 1/4" stockman about half the week. Love using these bigger ones, but they are kinda big in the pocket. I much prefer the way the round bolster/california clip mediums carry.
 
I carry a vintage scharde 108ot mini stockman everyday with a larger modern folder, i picked it up at a antique store like new for next to nothing, might end up getting the medium
 
I carry a stockman, is usually one of these.

Most of the time a Buck 303
When I'm feeling fancy, I can carry this:

the only stockman i have is a yellow buck 301. dont carry it all the time. i actually prefer a single blade knife. but the 301 is all right.
 
I've been known to carry a stockman on occasion.

Stockman? I haz one.



Okay, maybe more than one. It's pretty hard to catch me without at least one on me. This one has seen many years of pocket time.
