Two Boker Tree Brand knives with carbon & bone. A #7474B Large Stockman & a Whittler.I don't have any problem with the springs on the Stockman but I think the springs on the Whittler fit as well as any I have.

Hard to beat a two GEC to me DM11. Great pair.

Thank you Steve. You can see a couple of reasons why I like Bokers.

I think your #6247 is very attractive. Nice bone.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Thanks a bunch geo, and, I forgot to mention I really like the bones and look of that Boker Stockman, too. I can see why you like. Both are cool, but that jigging and color gets my attention more. Know how old it is? It's sweet regardless.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Thanks. I have trouble trying to date Bokers, however, I think the Stockman was made around 1965 to 1975. And, yes, it is sweet.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
I'd call that a rope knife; I think a rigger's knife has a marlinspike. All three of those are great, and you now have me thinking about picking up one of those electrician's knives.

I don't think you could go wrong. I think they are very solid knives

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
I think Boker's red bone is very attractive, whether jigged or smooth like that. Of course it helps that they put it on well made knives.

Case large stockman for me. After years of carrying a Buck 110 on my hip I finally grew tired of the sheath constantly catching on things. I tried a Ruger Hollow Point and a Buck Innertia, but I didn’t care for their bulk in my pocket. The stockman is a great compromise knife. Large enough for most heavy work, small enough for most light work, and with three blade options I’ll probably never go back to EDCing large single blade rigs.
