Was in Bradford over last weekend and stopped in to Main Street Mercantile (45 Main St.). They had this Stockman in a display case. Didn't buy it but thought you guys might like to see it. $50.
lol i'll be in Lebonan Missouri tomorrow so I'll have plenty to look at. wewill be heading to Branson from there. I should be able to hit both shepard of the hills cutlery stores.
Lee, a locking stockman would possibly be the ultimate knife. I like the traditional pocket knives I grew up with and the stockman was one of them. Actually, when I think of pocket knives of this type the stockman is the first thing that comes to mind. However, I've become spoiled by the safety of locking pocket knives in the past few years. What this means is I've become accustomed to not needing to be as careful. I have cut my index finger to the bone twice in my life because the knife didn't lock and I was careless. If the knife blade locked my carelessness would have not resulted in red stuff coming out of my finger. My greatest accomplishment the first time it happened (about 10 years old) was hiding the seriousness of the cut from my mother. She would have had me in the ER! :eek: :) Anyway, congratulations on your find. Not knowing any more than I do I just assumed there was no such knife. Wrong again I'm glad to say. :)_
I have always loved the stockman pattern. I especially like the one that has the cutting punch blade for making a new hole in heavy saddle leather in a pinch when you don't have a propper leather punch handy.
I just purchased one of the new Case Carbon Fiber Stockman with the more streamline (flatter topped) clip blades and the other usual style blades. This is one sharp looking knife with great springs. Blades did need a bit of Sharpmaker and stropping to bring out a touch to bleed edge. To say the I love my newest Stockman. It's going to take something some more special to make me add this one to the collectors box. Check this one out gals and guys!!! J.D.
That's a great looking Marbles ya got there, Leopold! Cool looking shield and nice looking stag handle! Have you been able to date its approximate age?
I see that both Gerber and Rough Rider are now making a lockback stockman.

I want to get a Case Yellow Delrin stockman. Currently I have only trappers in this handle. I cannot decide between the medium and large stockman. I don't own any Case in the large stockman size to compare with my other Case stockman's which are all medium. Any suggestions ?
Just put a big 4 3/8 inch closed stock on gunbroker for the advanced collector! It is a large CASE BROTHERS #340 pattern sowbelly or serpentine stock with mastodon bark ivory. I checked prices on the web, and mine is much lower. Still pricey, only five were made with the oval shield and five with the bowtie shield!
Anyone familiar with McCoy knives out of Arkansas? I just found a pristine McCoy Classic stockman at a thrift store for $5. Looks to be a pretty decent knife with good snap and clean manufacture.
Hey you CCC members. How about the Spring Promotion Mint Set of Medium and Large Stockmans in Pocket Worn Cabernet Bone - in walnut box? Scrolled bolsters and all! My notice arrived in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately I can't find a pic of the set online.
The Stockman Pattern Group is currently at 99 members. Let's invite some friends to join us and break that 100 members number, and even go way over. And remember that Sowbelly pattern is also a Stockman variation, so if you or someone else is into Sowbellies, this is your group!

Camillus used to make a large stockman with a lock on the side.
Kind of looked like a light switch mounted on the handle. It seems
i have one somewhere.

I have a picture of a Camillus Sword Brand 3 blade stockman with the locking
switch located n the side under my photos on my page.
I believe it is in the stockman folder or the pattern knives folder.
I is one of the few locking sockman knives Ihave ever seen.

Ricky, I would go with the Large. Since you already have mediums, you should get a different size just to have another option.

Thanks Sunil, I am leaning towards a large .

I have a Case 3347 that I bought several years back that is stamped as a
6347. I believe it was made during the period when Parker owned Case.
I will have to try to remember where I put it so I can check the date. I think it
is stamped USA91, but am not sure. I also have a 6318 in the yellow and they
are both good looking knives in my opinion.
