All About Pocket Knives

By 1994 Frank Buster "Cuz" had built over 300 different three blade "Stockman" knives with various handle materials, measuring 3-¾".
I have many Fight'n Rooster knives, mostly in the stockman pattern pictured below.
Most of my Roosters were obtained in the early 1980s through the early 1990s from "Clarence Risner" of Spring Valley, Ohio via land-line and when he attended the yearly So. Ca. Blade Shows.
The below stockman are also all celluloid. I have lost celluloid knives in the past due to outgassing, but they are not all time bombs. I have 100 year old plus celluloid handled knives that are fine. Just keep an eye on them and keep them clean and segregated. Collectors know when to take action. One should not be afraid to enjoy celluloid handled knives.

My three Case Stockman Knives below are from 2020/2021.
Just the top of the barrel, I'll dig a little deeper for some more.

Dan, Your Stockman collection is beautiful.

That German stockman collection is truly amazing! The next three are actually trappers, but I like them, too!

Here are a couple 75s.

I did not pay attention; maybe a moderator will shove them together somehow.

I hope I did not offend, I truly just wanted to have the ability to see more of these types of knives. I respect your honesty and opinion. Thank you, Sir!

Thank you very much.

For the Trappers; Perhaps I had my reading glasses on upside-down?

I have quite a few stockman, but my favorite is this 3 and 7/8" bone Brantford from about 1915.

That's a dandy!

That is a beauty, OC. Love those long pulls, and looks like the blades are mostly still there, too.
