Stockman Knives
Re: Stockman Knives
Just picked up my first Henckles, mostly because it has Mammoth covers. Really a nice knife, smooth movement, tight, no wobble, smooth rounded ends, very good transitions, no gaps or anything, and a great looker. What's not to like? I like it anyway.

You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Oh, thanks, my kid took that pic several years ago. She liked to dress up our pets. I just cropped it for her. I thought is was funny.

Re: Stockman Knives
Ivoryman, the 2nd one down, the PAL, gets my vote! They are all beautiful but the old bone on the PAL rings my bell.
I have 4 Pals knives with the same bone but none of mine have a shield.
Wish I had taken interest in them earlier.

Re: Stockman Knives
Thanks TFarmer, you have great taste, and there are still a few of them out there I see from time to time. I still look for them and check them out and try to find diamonds in the rough or good specimens for the pile. Thanks again.treefarmer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 12:31 pm Ivoryman, the 2nd one down, the PAL, gets my vote! They are all beautiful but the old bone on the PAL rings my bell.

I have many Fight'n Rooster knives, mostly in the stockman pattern pictured below.
Most of my Roosters were obtained in the early 1980s through the early 1990s from "Clarence Risner" of Spring Valley, Ohio via land-line and when he attended the yearly So. Ca. Blade Shows.
The below stockman are also all celluloid. I have lost celluloid knives in the past due to outgassing, but they are not all time bombs. I have 100 year old plus celluloid handled knives that are fine. Just keep an eye on them and keep them clean and segregated. Collectors know when to take action. One should not be afraid to enjoy celluloid handled knives.

Re: Stockman Knives
Stockman Pattern
Years ago I just collected any knife that caught my eye. Then to put some focus on things I settled on the good old Stockman Pattern
I have had (literally) a couple of hundred of them.
I've sold off a few lately and more to go but of the ones to keep, it made me think.... "what features do I really like in a Stockman".
This is pretty much it.... 4 to 4 1/2 inches closed and a big bold main blade.
For me personally these are two of the best.
My regular carry the Case XX (Probably made by Queen) and the German Carl Schiepler

Gorgeous pair, you have great taste. Makes me wonder what else you're going to sell off and with hundreds in your pile, you could really put on a show. Great stuff.

Mine have been kept to 3 3/4 -4"... its been cost preventative and I really do prefer the weight and feel.
Its sad that almost all of the alternative stockman (with bottle openers, straight razor sheepsfoot etc are almost always 3 1/4---3 1/2...
...https://www.ebay.com/itm/382897957206?m ... media=COPY
That is a rarer piece that I've only seen twice ....you'll not likely find it again.....I like mine 4 sure
