I think they make a stockman on the 66 frame that is about 3 1/2"

Yeah, they're probably about to ship. Blade pull is a comfortable 5-6 and not a nailbreaker by any means.

Oh my soul. They just had to do this! That Turkish clip, the right size! Unless they've blasphemed and made it in stainless, I must have one!

Cuz, I may have to get one of these and I don't even like the stockman pattern. For me, it's the size, the Turkish clip AND the sheepcliffe blade. And is that spay blade saber ground? Now if they had stuck in a spear pen in place of that spay blade..... Just stick a fork in me, I'd be done for sure.

Jerry, the spey isn't a spey at all, it is a little drop point blade. I really like the blade configuration overall; I just sharpened up my maroon linen model and it is a sweet slicer! Pointy, though, so watch out! ::paranoid:: The size is perfect for my hand and it opens easily, a plus for me these days.

Thanks Barry. I noticed it doesn't have the profile of a spay blade but thought it might just be GEC's version of one. ::shrug:: Actually the thought that crossed my mind was it looks more like a junior version of the Sodbuster blade, another of my least favorite blades. The saber grind is what saves it for me.
