      Little surprised actually my self since the stockman is still talked about a lot in my favorite FB groups. There is actually a little competition going on in one of the groups of who has the most good old stockmans in there collections and i am currently one of the leaders with over 20 in my personal collection. Camps and toothpicks are not talked about often but sodbusters, trappers, and definitely barlows are very popular. I was a bit surprised to see large single blade knives being one of the most popular of late in the FB groups.

    I got me an old antique Case Sodbuster. The knife is from 1970. Someone got it from an estate sale and was wanting to get rid of it. I paid $15 for it and it's in great shape for it's age. I got a hell of a deal on it.

    I think the stockman should have been number one on the list. When I was a kid, there wasn’t a man alive, that didn’t have a stockman in his pocket! That was the first knife I ever owned! That’s the one I started my collection with! That’s the only pattern I collected for a long time! Then I decided to branch out from there! SMKW’s is the best knife company in the world! I generally buy all of my knives through you, your the first company I ever bought from, and I’ve been with you ever since! Thanks for all the great years of knife collecting! RT!

    The specific most sold traditional knives are robably the Case sodbuster, Case 54 pattern stockman, Victorinox classic, or the Victorinox cadet, and the opinel #8.
    The Buck 110 sells a lot too and it is a traditional folder, a folding belt knife not a pocket knife but it is a traditional folding knife.

    My Barlow knives had two blades, so I had to learn how to sharpen a knife pretty early. My Grandfather showed me how to sharpen a knife because my father was a traveling salesman and was on the road most of the time. He carried a Schrade Walden two blade Pen knife. He would have showed me how to sharpen a knife but my Grandfather did it before he did. My grandfather farmed 2,500 acres of land in South Georgia, so he had to know how to sharpen a knife.
    I like the Stockman series made by Schrade, either Old Timer or Uncle Henry.

Finding knowledgeable persons To teach youngsters the right way Is rare today, because we live in a throw away society and a lot of people, today, can’t pour piss out of a boot without instructions written on the heel. I am glad to see some of the bush-crafting folks teach young people the old skills, like cutting wood with an axe or the proper use and care of a knife. Things my ancestors knew without even thinking. People today can’t even change the oil in their cars or even a tire.

    Great presentation man and I loved the content. Most interesting and surprising to me was the "Toothpick" coming in at number 5, always thought of them as just a novelty type thing, gag gift like, mainly because of the usual hot Cowgirl boot. At least that's how it's always struck me:)
    Another shocker, for me at least, was the #1 spot and I'm definitely gonna start giving the "KAMP KING" serious consideration. Guess I'm not too familiar with that model because I've got a few Victorinox and never bothered looking for other similar types.
    Anyone please chime in, Is that MARBLE'S G.I. UTILITY one a real winner?

    A. Before clicking on the video I thought, "The Sodbuster HAS to be on the list."
    B. Never owned a Queen knife but have heard good things. That Big Boy is tempting me.
    C. I didn't know Rough Rider made knives with carbon steel blades. I am certainly going to have to look into that.
    I haven't been in SMKW in over a year. I have been thinking a lot lately of making the drive up from Loudon (I would after I get off work in Knoxville but I work until 5pm and the store doesn't stay open much later than that) but haven't. This video just pushed me a bit closer, though.

    The camp king. Ok I get that. My EDC is the Victorinox Spartan. Near enough the same I guess.

    Here’s one year later, hoping SMKW comes to their senses and places the stockman in its rightful place. Number two, behind the Congress. 😊

    I never leave home without a pocket knife, regardless of what EDC knife i have clipped on. 99% of the time its a Case.
    My first purchase on my own was a Barlow, i was around 9 i think, possibly 10. After that it was a Case of some sort.
    I would have bet one of my Case knives that it would have been a Stockman first.

    Even though I EDC either a Benchmade Mini Griptilian or their 945 Mini Osborne as my main knife, I often find I need a smaller blade for delicate work. I have always been a traditional slip joint knife guy. I often carry either a Rough Ryder Denim Micarta Carbon Barlow or a Case 22087 Jack Knife that I've had for 40 years. The 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inch slip joints are the perfect unobtrusive pocket knife size for me. I have bought quite a few Case knives over the years their quality seems to be ever fading, rough and uneven grinds, poor scale fit, and weak springs seem to be common. I have several of the Marbles GI knives stashed around the house, outbuildings and vehicles and use those frequently as well. The steel on the Marbles GI knives is a little soft and requires regular touch ups but it's easy to quickly get them razor sharp again, they are definitely one of my favorites. I usually have to file the hooks on the GI can opener and bottle opener to make them a little flatter so that they hook onto the cap or edge of can more easily. As they come, they're a bit too rounded and smooth to get a good purchase on the caps and can lids but for $6.99 (I've had mine for a while and they were $5.99 when I bought them) I'm not going to complain about that.

    Thats funny , I bought a small rough rider for a pocket carry a few years ago, loved it , gave some as gifts. I saw that camp king in the cinnamon stag , great knife , bought it. its a bit heavy for pocket, I am going to get a belt pouch for it I always carried Buck 110s before , but they are too big and too heavy. I don't want to carry a knife that if I pull it out in public to do work, some idiot yells he's got a knife ,and I get shot. or thrown to the ground, {which being 75 and in poor health, would probably kill me also.

    I'm going to take some credit for the toothpick You're welcome! Sod Buster have an advantage of low price and just being really practical. That said, I'm a little surprised it is on the list. Nice to see the Barlow getting appropriate love! That Queen Trapper at that price is amazing! I wasn't surprised that the Trapper came in second but I thought it would be knocked off by the stockman! To see my number 1 and 2 patterns end up in the top 5!
    The toothpick is my favorite and my second favorite are camp knives. I'm sure the tiny toothpick help propel the toothpick to fifth position but I'll take it. Not to get more love for bartender knives and marlin spikes! LOL. Thanks TC, you made my day!

    Unless i am mistaken, i believe current Queen knives are made in China..NOT the USA. As SMKW now owns the Queen brand name, this guy should know that.

    • @SMKWcom
      @SMKWcom  Рік тому

      You are not mistaken that Queen is a SMKW brand but we work with different knife makers from around the world and the Queen Big Boy Trappers were made in the USA. www.smkw.com/queen-big-boy-trapper-red-bone-qn7555 www.smkw.com/queen-big-boy-trapper-burnt-bone-qn7565
