Lets see your really old stockman

Rotten · Post by **Rotten** » Mon Dec 31, 2018 12:35 pm

I've been looking at Case 6392's and 6394's to add to my collection (most all are well out of my collecting budget) and ran across a 1905-1920 case stock knife on the auction site. It got me thinking that I really haven't seen many stock knives/stockman that old or older.

Got me thinking that it would be nice to see some really old stockman, say pre 1920 at least and American made.

So share your pics please.

I have quite a few stockman, most are newer but I think these two may be pre 1920.

Most of those old stockman pattern knives led a hard life.

These don't quite fit your request for pre-1920 but they're old and USA made - I'm gonna guess pre-1950's at least.

I wish I owned a Stockman that old to show. All my old knives are Jacks, Scouts, and Electricians. For a man who loves the Stockman pattern over all other, I should remedy this sad state of affairs! OH

A Challenge and a Boker that MIGHT be that old.

Although this knife was made by H. Boker in Germany, it is an old stockman. AAPK members dated it to 1891-1910.

Rotten, looks like you are getting folks to post some fabulous examples here in your thread. In addition, I would recommend you read through this thread in the link below if you have not done so already. Not every knife in that thread is a stockman, but I believe there are a few that would meet your criteria

Wow this thread is turning out to be even better than I expected. Amazing knives being posted, thank you. Please keep them coming.

Ralph, I have seen the thread you linked but haven't worked through all the pages yet. It's full of great eye candy as well.
