You Rockwell test that one?
Today it is what usually occupies my pocket a Schrade 834UH. I have carried a little knife like this or it's carbon blade cousin 50+ years and it is a rare day that it can't handle what I need done. Deer hunting success being the only except that I can remember. They used to be called a Stockman or a Cattleman now I see them referred to as a Rancher, too.
I don't think so...Does he think blood is real? My dog always reacted to red
Thank you for the information, I do appreciate it! Over the years Schrade was the only knife I carried. Now, say the last decade or so I occasionally have an #6 Opinel or entry level Kershaw pocketed, the reality is the little stockman just about does it all for me.Schrade's nickname for the 834UH was the trailmaster when it was introduced in 1989, then from 1990 onward it was called rancher. Not much it can't do.
It is a stockman pattern, serpentine to be specific. A cattle knife is slightly different, usually having an equal end handle. Both are very similar functionally and the stockman derived from the cattle knife, so the names get interchanged.
