Re: Old Stockman Knives
Thanks guys; glad you liked them.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

I would think for any Schrade guy an example of all four of the OT stockmans is a must have.

Re: Old Stockman Knives
That must be a really sturdy feeling one Greg, really nice. How common or uncommon were case steel liners like this?
This is my favorite and most treasured stockman.

Re: Old Stockman Knives
Paul that is a common trait to wartime material shortages.That makes them a bit more rare and historic to me but I don't have any empirical data to back that up. They needed all the brass they could get for shell casings.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:That must be a really sturdy feeling one Greg, really nice. How common or uncommon were case steel liners like this?

There is also the 61OT Slim I'm hunting for. But would those two styles still be considered stockmans?

I would say both the 98ot and 61ot are bonafide stockmans.

Re: Old Stockman Knives
What would define a 'stockman' anyway. Don't think I've ever read anywhere what qualifies a knife to be one. I just always assumed it's a 3 blader on a serpentine frame that has a clip, spey, and sheepsfoot.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:

And isn't the main blade on the 98, 61, and 897UH considered a muskrat blade and not a clip?

Re: Old Stockman Knives
I don't know if there's an official qualification for a stockman, but for me it's a 3 or 4 blade serpentine frame. Doesn't always have to be clip, sheepsfoot and spey. It can be clip, spey and punch or clip sheepsfoot and pen etc. It's the frame style and 3 or more blade combination IMO.gwelker62 wrote: What would define a 'stockman' anyway.

The blade on slim stocks are usually called a california clip. They have many names. Whichever name you prefer it's still technically a clip blade. It may be safe to say a clip blade is mandatory to classify a knife as a stockman as long as the frame is serpentine or gunstock. There may be a couple other appropriate frames but I don't know. Cigar or equal end cattle knives are in the same vein but different, although cattle knife and stockman get interchanged a lot.

Re: Old Stockman Knives
Paul, your 8813 is a beauty. There is a story on that particular one which I might tell you someday. Meanwhile, I am going to cheat a little bit, because this one is not old, but it was deliberately made to pay homage to the old ones and I am deeply grateful to own it.
And here is another 8813, of another color, you might say.
