Western 425 Stockman with Punch

[lentuk]

I have a thing for punch knives, maybe it was watching my Grandfather put a new hole in his belt or some sort of horse tack but the way he used that punch always amazed me when I was little.
I just recently acquired this 425, not too much can be found on the web about it, I found the 426 but not the 425.
Hoping maybe someone here has any information.
Was it just a variant of the 426 Stockman with a punch or??

Very sweet knife. I bet it has bored a belt or two.

The 4xx series of bone stag stockmen's knives came out in the 1960 catalog.

422 - 2 blades - a master clip blade and a pen blade
424 - 3 blades - master clip, pen and sheepsfoot
425 - 3 blades - California clip, spay blade and punch
426 - 3 blades - Master clip, sheepsfoot and spay blades

Only the 426 survived to show up in the 1968.
