Carried this old Pal with me.

That is a very striking knife, and excellent photos!

Thanks New W. and you too Waukonda.

This is my Challenge stockman.

I see two long pulls on that Challenge jtx, do all the blades have one? I have a few with main blade long, secondary a crescent. Not a problem, but I guess I like when they are consistent. Nice bone too. I love old Challenges.

Ivoryman, The small spey blade doesn't have a long pull, but it does have the same tang stamp as the other two blades. I got this knife from Jim Sargent many years ago. It is one of my favorites. Thanks for commenting on it.

Thanks for the info, appreciate that. One for those wiser than I, why 2 out of 3 and not all blades with long pulls?

Recently, this "stockman" pattern or style of pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, I was pleased to discover it among the group or lot of pocket knives and I did add it to my general pocket knife accumulation. It is a KEEN KUTTER, three blades, three tang stamps, 3 1/4" closed, two springs, long blade pull, milled liners, "stockman", pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp, VERY FAINT, has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The secondary blade back tang stamp has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The third blade front tang stamp has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The main blade has no half stop, but has an ok opening and closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop and no opening snap. But, it does have an ok closing snap. The third blade has no half stop or opening snap, but it has an ok closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition and still has a lot of life left. I gave it a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

You're picking up some great old survivors, Skip. I like rescuing knives that many think are not worth saving. Good for you, brother!

Beautiful bone and jigging on that PAL, Iman!

That's a great pattern, and a wonderful set of handles, Iman!

This one's rather new to me - a Winchester #3907, probably made by Queen for Blue Grass Cutlery. It's one of 966 made in 1991 with peach seed jigged bone. Looks to me like it has Stockman blades but in a Whittler pattern. (I never heard of speying a piece of wood.) Anyway, I'll use that as an excuse to post it in a Whittler thread, too.

Two winners there, Geo!

Thank you, sir! Also, that's a Winchester #1924 Medium Toothpick below the Whittler. I find it interesting to compare peach seed jigging on the Whittler to the bone on the Toothpick. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's Rogers bone on the Toothpick & old bone at that. Whatever, I think the bone on both is very attractive.

[toomanyknives]

Not sure if that one is Rogers, Geo. But, it is very nice. Here's a thread with some nice examples of Rogers..

Thanks. I appreciate your input.
I noticed that many of the comments I’ve read on AAPK include some uncertainty about identifying Rogers bone. I’m as confused about Roger’s bone as I am about green bone.
Here is a page from a knife collectors guide by C. Houston Price & Mark D. Zalesky that lists the #1924 Toothpicks made in 1987. If I’m wrong then I’ll blame it on them.

And now you see why I said "not sure", Geo. Ha! It confuses the heck out of me too. I think everytime I show certainty about something I find out I was wrong, so I always leave that crack in the door! I don't know if it's just something that came from the Rogers factory, or the type of jigging. Most that I have seen has the look of the examples in the thread I posted, but your knife is fine, and could very well be Rogers too. I should stick to what I know, eating and sleeping! I'm good at those two!
