Re: Old Stockman Knives
A cowboy once told me that a knife without a punch blade is for goat ,sheep herders and pig farmers .treefarmer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:05 pm I have a question! Is there a difference in the "stockman" pattern and the "cattleman" pattern? For some reason I keep thinking the stockman has the 3 blades like a Case 6375 but when a knife shows up with an awl or punch it should be called a "cattleman". The knife in the OP is probably a #49 Queen but the 2nd post is a beautiful knife with a punch. This "rang my bell" and I've been wondering about it, is there a difference or is it what the owner prefers to call it? The awl would be to repair leather, thus cowboy, cow hunter or cattle man....?

Yes the scales are celluloid. The shield has the initials R W. Nicely in graved also . The knife has been well kept and in great shape considering it came out in the western states catalog in 1931 .

Re: Old Stockman Knives
Just a casual observation of this post that Thomasg had pulled from the past: I realized from my question back in 2016, I believe I've learned a bit more about knife patterns. Setting aside the blade comparisons between stockman and cattleman/cattle pattern, the big difference has to do with the shape of the frame. I feel confident in saying an equal end frame can be referred to as a cattle knife and a serpentine framed knife with the same blade configuration is a Stockman. Then the same equal end frame can have a bail/shackle and a can opener, and it becomes a scout/camp knife.Thomasg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 1:19 pmA cowboy once told me that a knife without a punch blade is for goat ,sheep herders and pig farmers .treefarmer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:05 pm I have a question!

Re: Old Stockman Knives
I noticed in the pal knifes add from way back then that they used just a gender neutral descriptions (stock knife) ,(cattle knife)) .we’re they being politically correct way back then in their marketing. ? Was the word stockman used by companies to market a specific knife model or was man added to the end of stock as descriptions from the customer s lingo .you are correct treefarmer .a interesting sometimes confusing hobby we are in!treefarmer wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 4:12 pmJust a casual observation of this post that Thomasg had pulled from the past: I realized from my question back in 2016, I believe I've learned a bit more about knife patterns.
