Your choice of traditional folder for woods

What model of stockman is this and where can I get one?! It's an absolute beaut ;) High carbon blade?

Well if I had to choose one slipjoint then I'd take a Victorinox farmer but a Case medium stockman is my traditional slipjoint right now and it's pretty good. A GEC of some sort would be great but I just can't justify the price, if I had the cash I'd get one though.

My Case med stockman with a Buck Vanguard in the first pic and a Kellam wolverine in the second, along with a Gransfors wildlife hatchet.

Fixed blade of choice nowadays is an ESEE Knives RC-4 but that's not really very traditional...
 
Thanks for letting me know, I figures it out about a half hour ago though xD.
Man that things beautiful, I'm unfamiliar with queen cutlery and from what I've read tonight their fit and finish is not always up to scratch but damn is that thing pretty! I've found one on the net for $62 and think I'll just pick it up for the hell of it even though I just got a classic sebenza with ironwood inlays a couple of days ago!
Best,
Gabriel.
EDIT: oh yeah, nice bead bro! :thumbup:
 
Alright, next time I'll head out doing some bushcraft or camping, I'll try my Parker-Frost large stockman :D
 
Now that knife is moose. Looks like Ebony handle moose, alot like BF knife 2010... :D I'll be waiting mine to arrive, once they start to ship 'em out :)
 
That is a swell center moose, model 1902, from Vintage Knives in Mississippi, made by Queen Cutlery from what I hear. Out of production now though, only 100 or so made. Ebony scales, pinned shield, 1095 blades, solid as a rock. One of the best pocket knives made by Queen or anyone else in the last 50 years in the opinion of most of the guys who got them.
 
Yes, I was going to recommend the forthcoming forum knife:thumbup:

CASE Large Stockman in cv is utterly reliable and gives blade choice too, but there are alternatives: Queen Cutlery Copperhead is a very good stout knife yet not too bulky. Another good sturdy Traditional is Schatt&Morgan Harness Jack in carbon, you'd be surprised how often a punch can come in handy:D

Think about a Victorinox Farmer knife
A really good camping knife
It has a strong main blade, then a punch, saw, bottle opener and a can opener
And a ring for a lanyard

Or a 4" or 4 1/4" stockman

My Queen 4 1/4" Cattle King is on my if only one knife list.
 
For me this summer it has alternated between a Buck 307 and a Case Moose for out door traditional fun.
 
As far as Nessmuk combo's this is what I took hunting for my whole day out last fall:

Case Damascus Stockman, some fit issues but cuts like heck and I've never cared for how big the original Nessmuk slipjoint was, as it seems to overlap the Nessmuk knife in size. The trio works very well in my experience, as all cutting tasks can be covered. Skinner/Cooking knife, then the three blades of the slipjoint and the chopper diversity of the double edged hatchet.
 
For an outdoor slippie I'd either use my Case amber bone CV stockman, Buck 303 cadet, or my Boker appaloosa carbon whittler (incoming). From what I've read, any of these knives hold a good edge, sharpen up easily and look good.
I plan to put the 303 cadet in my motorcycle jacket pocket for camping trips and such. Mostly because of the fact that it's a little cheaper than the rest and the 420HC is practically maintenance free while still being a good blade.
Only problem is that I can't stop researching different pen knives to add to my collection...

As for a traditional fixed blade, I'd probably go with a carbon steel Grohmann number 1 or number 4 (depending on how large of a knife you prefer) with rosewood handles.

For me it would be my Buck 110 with my Queen Country Cousin or Buck 701 for the smaller chores around the camp site.
