Western 742D Stockman Knife with Jigged Bone
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2023 8:32 pm
This is the cousin to the 742 that I posted a few days ago. The only difference I can see between the 742 and 742D is the polished blades. There was also an extra spacer liner on the 742D that I assume was put in to minimize main blade rub. This one still ended up with some slight blade rub on the small blades (grrrrr!).
Also on both of these knives the spring for the secondary blades is an extremely high tension spring. In my mind it's a nail breaker.
Still, it's a nice looking knife and will look just fine along side its cousin.
