A few days ago, this “stockman” pattern or style of pocket knife, arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I had purchased. This pocket knife now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives just to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it DEFINITELY did turn out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, "foreign born", pocket knife accumulation. It is a Sabre, three blades, one tang stamp, 2 5/8” closed, two springs, stockman, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "Sabre (over) STAINLESS (over) JAPAN (over) 638" The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The secondary blade does have a WEAK half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The third blade does have a WEAK half stop. The third blade does have an OK opening snap. The third blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Always a great surprise to get a sweet little knife like that in a "lot", Skip. Chalk that one up to a good eye. And you certainly have that!
