Cool little knife and great review. I have one of these knives and I have had it for many years. Thanks for sharing again as I now know a something about my knife. Keep up the great work. Looking forward for your next one.
Great looking old Buck stockman! Really enjoyed taking a look at this one for sure!! It is awesome that it has your name on the blade and you still have it!! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a great Easter Sunday!!
The one I got from my wife’s grandfather has broken spring an blade. The 2 I picked up used back in the 70’s and 80’s, neither has blade rub on any of the blades.
I found one of these here in the UK about three years ago! It has Champion on the main blade! It was in great shape. The back springs are almost black for some reason? I had no idea that Camillus made these! I was very impressed with these so I bought a 301 big brother model!
yup, great li'l knife SG. ~ I lost my first somehow, liked it allot so I got another in 1982. And is my most carried. ~ I like stockman's three blades for step down(s) for how much abuse I think the task will create. ha, package opening/package help opening on Christmas day (yay Brian has a knife) was the sheep's foot because normal was some glue deposits, spey blade most often used for sharpening many of saplings for cooking hotdogs, and bit larger yet saplings for fishing pole support/anchors. ..while trying to keep the main blade for steak in case get skunked fishing. ~ The Sheep's foot and spey blade are on the same spring. The Sheep's foot blade is bent over when made so it doesn't hit/rub the spey blade, and shy of the main blade. ~ I've read the new ones have three springs. ~ One fine feature of this knife you may have never noticed, 1989 or 2009, is one can open one blade, lay knife on it's spine and it will spin just dandy for game of Spin The Bottle with your gal. ~ ha, how fun in a tent at a crowded campground for those a bit still inhibited. (-: (something to point out if you hand it down) Again we agree, love of the semi older long nail nick slip joints. I've an early-ish (1980s) Buck Creek "rattler" stockman I rescued from my missus's stepfather's tackle box, that has a longer nail nick. Solingen Germany made..med. sized stockman, and again it's Sheep's foot blade is bent to avoid the spey blade. cikey, 80s knife it snaps open enough snap to awaken a sleeping baby. ~ Caught to rescued just in time. WD/foil rubdown it's patina looks as some like to create. ~ If ever run across an old "snake series" (various named snakes etched on blade) Buck Creek I'd check it out if not beat. Equal fit and finish as 70s to 80s Camillus. ~ I'm not a knife collector but fit 'n finish seems to be lost today. If wrong one is paying arm 'n leg for, and some better for some steels. I've two one handed open/close, clip to pocket, lock blades I love. Many times an item as task I got perfect but needed a cut/poke of a knife and one hander was perfect. Daily out the door is my old Cadet 303.
@@sixgunslingin lol, by now I'm picturing you tried it what said. ~ It's my '82 knife so I'm no spring chicken. umm, red bulb in lamp may sound sixties, but does wonders for older skin tones. No point in steering another wrong with my upbringing where neighbors had right to swat yer arse and send ya home. (-:
I think i have seen where buck added a extra layer of brass liner to one side and maybe an extra in the middle to give it slightly more width and one side of the blade was completely flat to accomodate the other blade next to it without bending the blades to fit??
