Tobias, i really enjoy your channel buddy, especially you economy/ traditional knives. Its amazing the quality of some economy lines these days. Im 51 and though i have always carried knives, im just getting back into collecting after many years. I think as time has passed i have alot of nostalgia for great knives, both antique and more modern, that i let slip through my fingers when i was a kid because i didn't have an appreciation for what i had. On a closing note, your kitties meow at the beginning of your videos always makes me smile. Have a great day sir and i look forward to seeing more!
It does look like a well built knife from here. Even the Stag covers are matching, they did a pretty good job for a Bear & Son. A large toothpick would be fun.
This one really caught my attention, had to pick one up! To me it does look like a Bear and Son Stockman. It has the same shape and rounded bolsters plus the blades don't stick up out of the knife too much like they do on most other ones.
once you give the edge you want for each blade, it doesn´t matter how it comes from factory. Actually, the edge from factory is just for vertical cuts, unable to work with wood. This stockman is a very good tool! And the handle is broad enough to let the hand work with unnecesary strenght! I got a moore maker stockman quite similar. Same blade shape and steel. For precise details is my best knife, any blade. Congratulations Tobias!
Beautiful stag on that USA stockman! I especially enjoyed the stag stockman comparison at the end. Is that Gerber stag stockman locking? Something seemed to be going on with the backspring.
This is a common complaint but to be fair, this is the way Queen Cutlery made its knives for as long as I can remember. GEC does a similar thing with its knives. It's a very old school thing. So in many ways, what SMKW is doing is keeping the brand alive by keeping the practice of the blade etch in place.
I literally had two Bear & Son knives delivered today. Large Stockman and Large Trapper. I can see they are not perfect but better than I expected. If they are making the Queen Stockman I may look into getting one. **Edited update**I have noticed that on my new large stockman that it appears to have the same blade rub as the one in the video. Thought I would share that with you.
For a Bear & Son, they are definitely better than expected. They are not up there with the old "Queen" standard but the price isn't either. As for the blade rub... maybe we can call it a "Defining Feature" instead of a "Flaw." Sigh!
Queen was doing the billboarding on the blade since the beginning. I know it is not what people look for today, but it is part of the tradition of traditional knives. You see the same with GEC. At one time, it was the sign of a quality knife. But I know where you're coming from.
Awesome stag!
Thanks Tobias
Very attractive old fashion look with the stag material, a large toothpick would look nice, thanks for sharing it, Tobias.

Very beautiful stockman. I like the fit and finsh of that knife
I have two of the new Queen trappers and have used one of them almost daily . Stag always varies, yours looks pretty good 👍

Great looking knife. Looks like Queen is making some good knives. Thanks for sharing, Live Long Prosper and Collect Your Own Way!
Pretty knife. I see why you're pleased 😊
Thanks, my friend.
That thing is awesome Tobias!! They did a great job on these. Thanks for sharing this one!

They did a good job with it. Thansk for dropping by.
Beautiful!
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
It definitely is a sharp looking knife. They at least didn't skimp on that stag thickness!! Great content sir...👏🤔👍🙏💯🇺🇸🔪🔥

Excellent points. Thanks for sharing!
i love the comparisons!

That's a great looking knife.
Good looking knife ‼️
Very nice looking knives bud.
That one is a real stunner!! Thanks for the look at it, buddy!
Thanks. Glad you liked. Thanks also for dropping by!
I wish they made em without the blade etch, seems like a solid knife

It’s a pretty knife although I’m distracted by the pins in the ramps
Not a huge fan of stockmans, but love Queen.
Good stuff as always brother 👊🏻
I'm hoping for a Large Toothpick! (and a Barlow)
Very attractive piece.
Thanks. Glad you liked. Thanks also for dropping by!

@@KnifeChatswithTobias “Defining feature” I like that.
😂 I used to live hand to mouth. Do you know what changed my life? Cutlery
I love these knives but don't care for the billboarding

Here's hoping for queen large toothpicks
chunky n funcky a chiped blade edge and a stag handle looks like a 2year old made' too much ramp!
guess you're not a fan. Thanks for watching
sorry friend love your channel i liked your review but the knife is disapointing they could have done better @@KnifeChatswithTobias
It would be great if the knives would be marked some way to distinguish the date of production of the knives to help in collecting them.👍
That would make sense. Maybe just a simple numbering system that uses four digits. I don't think many companies sue that one.
