Comment by Billy Oneale on February 28, 2013 at 22:04: Personally, I think bigger is better. I'm not real sure why I feel that way. It probably has to do with getting the biggest bang for my buck.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on February 26, 2013 at 16:11: This is getting to be a busy group! lol

Comment by Brad T. on February 25, 2013 at 20:19: Yep, I have more Stockman pattern knives than I thought. My rule of thumb was a spey blade equaled a Stockman. Who'd a thunk it?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on February 25, 2013 at 19:27: Let's go with Levine;

"The Premium Stock Knife is a serpentine shaped double-end pocketknife that ordinarily has two springs and three blades. Some Stock Knives have four blades, and a few have five, or even six. Five and six blade Stock Knives have three springs. Any Stock Knife under 3 1/2 inches long closed is called a "Junior Premium Stock Knife".

"The Premium Stock Knife was introduced about 1890 as a less bulky and more dressy version of the Cattle Knife. The Stock Knife was designed as a Rancher's pattern, so it was at first marketed mainly in the west."

Comment by Brad T. on February 25, 2013 at 18:06: I need some clarification on what a "Stockman" pattern entails? Is it just the Double backspring and 3 blades? Or is it something else? If it is the the former, then I have more Stockmans than I thought.
