Stockman Knife
The stockman knife normally has three different types of blade. These include a clip blade, a sheep's foot and a spey blade. The sheep’s foot is useful for making long straight cuts or any other cutting task that requires extra control. The spey blade is good for making what is generally referred to as a “pushing” or motion cut. The clip blade is a general type of blade that is useful for slicing.
Stockman knives are generally medium-sized knives that allow them to be easily carried in your pocket. There are generally two types of handles that are found on stockman knives. These are the straight handled versions and the sowbelly version in which the handle has a distinctive curvature.
Like most traditional folding knives, stockman knives are opened using nail nicks. These are slots where your fingernail can be used to pull the blade out of the handle. The stockman knife pattern is one of the more useful types of traditional knife styles. It contains different types of blades that were well suited to a wide variety of tasks.
The stockman is an amazingly versatile knife. With its combination of three different blade types, it is capable of handling virtually any task you may need to accomplish. The stockman remains one of the most popular styles of folding knives currently in use to this day.
