5 out of 5 Calf Roper Review
Rredden (verified owner) –
This knife is 3.4″ closed and 8.00″ open and weighs 2.7 ounces. The blades are a 2.75″ Long Pull Clip, 2.25″ Sheepfoot, and a 2.00″ Spay. The blades are made of GEC’s 1095 carbon steel. It has nickel silver bolsters that are lined and pinched and a federal shield. It is handled in Hemlock Green Jig Bone and has brass liners and pins and is a two spring construction. The clip point has a long pull while both sheepsfoot and spay have nail nicks. The three blades have pretty even pull that I would rate as a seven.
The fit and finish on this knife is excellent no gaps visible at all even when held up to a light and the bolsters are perfectly set to the covers. The jigging is beautiful and the pins are set uniformly.
The sheepsfoot sets a bit high and is somewhat uncomfortable when using the clip or spay blades. Otherwise it sets in the hand well with good balance and grip for cutting. The clip point has a great shape that not only lends itself to slicing but is great for piercing as well. The sheepsfoot is excellent for straight line slice or score task such as breaking down household cardboard or marking tile or similar materials to break. The spay works well to spread things such as peanut butter or for scraping task. As far as edge retention I have not had it long enough to make a judgement but I assume it is the same as other GEC knives in 1095.
All in all I would give this knife an overall score of nine it would be a ten if the sheepsfoot did not set so high but would also call it an almost perfect EDC for the Traditional Knife Knut.

5 out of 5 Amazing knife!

I had this same knife in a stag handle and I lost it! Not wanting to spend the $$ I purchased a Case stockman.
Nothing against case but I got tired of sharpening it after I cut a box.
You get what you pay for and so I decided to go back to a GEC and I am NOT disappointed.
This knife came sharp enough to take the hair off my arm, all 3 blades, and the fit and finish is what you would expect from a GEC knife. If you like this style of knife, invest the money because if you can manage to not lose it, it will serve you for many, many years.

I really like the stockman pattern and this example is firing on all cylinders! Both the fit and finish and the usability of this Calf Roper Medium Stockman are excellent. Very happy with my acquisition. Thanks GEC and CK for creating and providing this little gem!

Not as refined as some of my other GEC’s, but one of my favorites. Very sturdy, nice heft, ready to work.
Great service from Collector Knives, as always.

The knife is exactly as described. Fit and finish appears flawless. My order shipped the day it was placed. GEC knives are not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for.
