Cold Steel Gentleman's Stockman Compact Pocket Folding Knife

This is made by rough rider, but with improved steel. Excellent fit and finish. This is. the brown jigged bone not the blue pictured which I preferred.

Seems to be a well made 3 blade knife that they choose to call a gentleman’ knife, but is commonly known as a sowbelly stockman. The bolsters are well filled and not over polished so the pivot rivet shows through. The three blades (clip, spey and sheeps foot’ are nicely polished stainless steel with a match strike nail knick and having with good snap from the back springs, but they do not “walk and talk” with the characteristic pause when opening and closing as they pass the 90 degree point suggesting extra care should be used when opening and closing. The main blade is etched with the brand name rather than tang stamped. The brown jigged bone scales are nicely colored, with no cracking at the retaining rivets and the back spring rivet, and are evenly color matched side to side. All in all a very nice knife, nicely finished, less expensive than typical USA brands, but probably at the upper end of the price point for similarly well made knives sourced from China. It seems to be a good value from a well known brand.

Liners and scales are misaligned leaving hot spots. Pins stick out so far they catch on things.

Good knife, especially for the money. Was sent the wrong color

Great product for edc. It's just a great slip joint!

Good quality knife for the price would buy again
