My precious.. Queen #49 in Amber Carved Stag Bone. Minty fresh, non-dfc, Peter's finest D2 tool steel.
Golden orange ridges and deep, brown canyons on this one. Good specimen of this bone, at least the traits I like about this cut, anyway. Sharp and smooth at the same time.
An uncommon Ulster/Schrade prince Albert tobacco prize. (It was Prince Albert, wasn't it? I never pursued the cans, but got a user of all three knives of that offer). Possibly the best looking combo of blades I've seen on a stockman. It makes for such a slick looking knife. If i could hack together one of these in a #61 old timer frame with that big ol Persian clip it would be great, since I find this one to be a bit small.
Now, here is a pair of my favorite roughnecks, Camilus #89, big ol carbon steel chunker:
And a (probably Camillus mfg) Western #742 stainless fatboy. This one is very satisfying. Its got the girth, thick springs and frames a 4.25"+ size stockman usually has, but in a frame just a touch longer than your #8OT size stockman. Great work knife, plus whatever stainless that is actually gets very sharp without turning into a mushy burr factory.
Stockman are my favorites.
We counting punch stockmen too?
