I dare say that one ^ may be a more attractive color than mine, and I was very lucky to have Matt_WY to pass his along to me recently. Are your covers really thick? (pic for comparison)

This Amber Peach Seed 6347 Stockman arrived with the Crimson Peach Seed 6347 Stockman I pictured the other day. For some reason, I've been on a Stockman kick lately.

I actually prefer a bit more pearling in the knife than what mine has on the show side.



I’d say it’s perfect thickness on the covers for me.


My only gripe is that both blades have wobble when open, first I’ve experienced in a knife.

I’m not really sure what this knifes purpose will be yet, all my knives are users but I haven’t figured out its niche.

Mine are a bit fatter in the middle, and more assymetrical. I think a lot of people like the charm of that. My OCD says, hmmm

She's a chonky girl, but on such a small knife it also probably helps fill the hand better. They're quite Petit otherwise I find.

Beautiful knife my friend.

I do have a good thumb rest/groove to help grip them...

This arrived on Wednesday, a very welcome surprise New Year present from a man of taste Corto_Malt

Tire-droit en corne, carbon. It doesn't look quite this pristine now as it's been on kitchen duty yesterday and a nice piece of cork is in the well acting as a stop-pin. Many thanks to Yann.

Have been looking for a clip 74 for a long time and finally found a good one. So happy to have this in my collection…

I really needed another 34OT like I needed a hole in my head…but I really liked the darker color where it transitions to the bolsters.

Received about 10 minutes ago from one of the staffettes. She said she found it somewhere, but never uses it.
It needed lubed and sharpened.

Both blades Walk 'n Talk.

I think it may have had a rough life with it's previous owners.

The clip point needed tightened a little to eliminate wobble.

I haven't researched the company or tried to find a tang stamp chart yet.

Blades appear to be stainless, so post c.1916. Other than that ... no clue.
Covers are well worn jigged bone.

EDIT:
Found this in a quick web search (oldpocketknives dot com) they show several knives listed on ePrey ... might be a locator site for them?

The Challenge Cutlery Co of Bridgeport, Connecticut made pocket knives from around 1891 to 1928. Originally a trademark of a company from Sheffield, it was purchased by Frederick Weibusch & Co in New York (died 1893). Soon after the company adopted the trademark. Challenge made wonderful quality pocket knives known for its dimpled jigged bone handles. The company closed in 1928 with the death of its owner, Charles Weibusch. Eventually, the assets of the company would be purchased by George Schrade and the eventually became the Schrade Cutlery Company.

Just added my second Case SB single blade with green kirinite handles today. Ever since I saw Modoc ED single blade ebony I’ve been hooked. I think I like the satin finish the best and the smooth white bone handles done by J jsdistin make it very special.
