<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Just now finding a few minutes to look through the groups, even though I have been on the site for a while. All of a sudden I realized I have been a collector/user of the stockman pattern for a lot of years. Started using the Case 6318 SS clear back in the 1970s and have worn out 2 of them. Have been accumulating Case ever since and just realized I have more of them than any others. Guess that makes me a collector. A short while back I realized that it must be a genetic…</p>

Have been accumulating Case ever since and just realized I have more of them than any others. Guess that makes me a collector. A short while back I realized that it must be a genetic thing, because I have had my grandfather's last pocket knife for a long time without noticing it is a stockman pattern as well. Only thing is, I had known for a long time that it was a Remington. Guess I just wasn't paying attention. </p>
<p>Anyway, I look forward to learning a bit from y'all and maybe adding a little.</p> Question about an Indian Headtag:iknifecollector.com,2018-08-12:3181080:Topic:15502362018-08-12T15:21:27.949ZBrian Martinhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/BrianMartin
<p>Hi.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The current auction has a C Risner Indian Head Stockman on offer. That led me to look the one I have in my collection and led me to a discovery. My stockman has a matchstrike long pull on the main blade and the secondary blades have matchstrike nail nicks. The knife on auction and every other photo I seen so far on the internet does not have matchstrikes. Also, I can't find any postings that discuss the pull and nail nicks for this knife.</p>

<p></p> Opinion on a Schrade 8801tag:iknifecollector.com,2017-01-27:3181080:Topic:14666542017-01-27T19:23:59.939ZBrian Martinhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/BrianMartin
<p>Hi.</p>
<p>I have been reviewing and documenting my collectables for the last few days. (What a ton of fun.) While looking over 1 of my Schrades from the Heritage Series, I got a surprise. I noticed something like a strike through on the tang stamp, and then I noticed that the scales were different colours. The front is brown and the back is green.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Could it be that this knife was a salesman's sample?</p>

<p>My first Stockman was a Buck 301 that I purchased in roughly 1972-1973. I carried that knife with me everywhere and used it nearly every day on our farm. When I was 16 I lost it while hanging upside down and it fell out of my pocket. I searched through all kinds of cold muck before I found it again. I still continued to carry that knife nearly every day until one day, when I was in my 20's, my roommate decided to stick it out on her garage sale table, where she sold it for $5.00. When I…</p>

When I found out, I was livid, and some guy got a heck of a nice knife for $5.00. To this day I have never had the heart to replace that Buck Stockman. I think it brings up too many memories. I loved that knife and I always will.</p>

Previous owner modified the etched fleshing blade, I'm guessing to cut thru sinew as well as flesh. They also reground the sheep foot blade into a coping blade. Suits me, one of my favorite EDC knives.

<p>I carry my <strong>Stockman Knife</strong> <em>(Buck 301)</em> daily, and use it almost every day. One task I was using it for today (and often) is as a staple remover. I find that the <strong>Spey</strong> Blade is really good at removing staples without tearing up the paper or cutting my finger.</p>

<p>What types of cutting or other uses do you use your <strong>Stockman</strong> or <strong>Sowbelly</strong> Knife for?</p>

There is a doubt I have about sharpening stockman blades.<br />
<br />
Each blade have its use, but all factoriee sharpen blades in the same angle, what I thing to be a big mistake. I was reading about the uses of clip, sheepfoot and spey blade and there is an use for each:<br />
<br />
Sheepfoot: strong and hadr cuts<br />
Clip: daily and common use<br />
Spey: detailed and light cuts<br />
<br />
So, wich way you keep your stockman sharpen? All blades same angle or different angles for each blade and why?<br />
<br />
Thank you?

<p>Hi.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I need some help. I am working on documenting my collection of blades. Today I'm researching a Western 742 - sorry to admit I forgot I had it!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have run into some confusion after reading various internet forums about Western date stamps. Some claim Western started a date code (symbols) in 1977 that appeared with the Western/U.S.A. Others claim a letter code A=1977, B=1978, C=1979<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct">, </span>..., appeared under the model…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I am attaching some photos (rookie effort). Although I have seen a catalog description that listed bone scales for a 742, my knife appears to have <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct">delrin</span> scales. The blades are definitely carbon steel.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for any help you can offer.</p>
