Who Makes A Good Traditional Stockman Pattern?

The Queen Cattle King in 4 1/4" in D2 in either Amber Stag bone, Zebrawood, or if you look in Maple
A full sized knife that I carry into the field or woods, and I use a leather pouch

The Queen Premium Stockman in 4" in D2 in either Amber Stag bone, Zebrawood, or if you look in Maple
A solid knife not so large more of an EDC
fits in the pocket easier

The Queen D2, once you sharpen the obtuse bevel is superb
PH heat treat
It stays sharp forever
 
I sold a really nice Ontario RAT large stockman, with a punch instead of a spey blade, to a member in Canada. Made by Queen. They also made a nice railsplitter. I have an older 301X stockman with bone scales and 425M blade steel. I have been thinking about giving that to my brother in law, he grew up on Buck knives. I have a really nice old Boker stockman with pocket worn smooth jigged bone scales, lots of life left in the spey and sheepsfoot blades, the main clip has a little bit of snap left. I bought a really nice Queen cattle knife with ACSB scales, and was gifted a nice large stockman from Queen with ACSB scales from a buddy on here. I have a couple of older Imperial cattle knives with really nice jigged bone scales. Got one of the Schatt and Morgan Heritage premium stockmans, beautiful looker but the edge and snap leave a little to be desired. Got a Northwoods stockman with a bent backspring I still have to send in to Queen for repair work. I have pics of all of these somewhere. I am about to get a money order for a Northfield UNXLD 81 Abilene stockman with African blackwood scales. Looks like a thick beast for the coat pocket.
