All About Pocket Knives

in search of a Stockman knife USA made in a large size 4 inches approx closed
with clip, spey and sheepsfoot blades and 1095 carbon steel.

looking for a user, in well enough condition to depend on as a primary whittling tool (tight blades & good handle).

would prefer a Camillus (66, 67 or similar) or Case CV

thank you.

Wolf, send a PM to TripleF here on AAPK (Scott). He deals in affordable USA made knives. Recently he listed a Frontier Stockman, a knife made for Imperial by Schrade (it is essentially a cosmetically different Schrade Stockman of the type you want). Scott is a great guy to deal with, I have dealt with him several times, in fact I have a old Hammer Brand knife coming to me from him right now. By the way, welcome to AAPK. OH

thanks for the welcome. PM sent.

been reading so much on the schrade stockmans my head feels like it was in a vise. can u give me a quick run down of the history on the knife u suggested? basiclly i just wanna know, is the equal craftmanship there and carbon?

oh and by the way, kinda droolin a bit over your sig.

Wolf (Chris) Attached is a picture of a Frontier 3-3/8" stockman that I have just started (back) whittling with - I understand the knife to be virtually the same as the Schrade Old Timer 34OT. Obviously the Delrin handles are jigged instead of being sawcut and the Frontier knife has a blade swedge, which my 34OT's lack, but other than that the knives are basically the same - Swindin key construction as build by Schrade in the USA. The steel is carbon, takes a wonderful edge quickly and keeps the edge well. I bought this one at a pawn shop - it wouldn't snap at all - dirty as hell, crusty with grit and gunk - but I flushed it well with aerosol G96 gun cleaner and it started snapping again and getting smooth. The Frontier are very good knives - equal to the Schrade Old Timers. By the way, Scott (TripleF) has a 4" Schrade scrimshaw (just like an Old Timer, but with different scales) on e-bay for a decent price right now. Good luck in your quest - these are plentiful knives to find, just be patient. Old Hunter
