Sowbelly Stockman

The sowbelly stockman comes in several sizes of pocket knives. It typically has 3 blades: a clip, a sheep’s foot, and a spey blade. The sowbelly gets its name from the subtle S-shaped profile, giving it the look of a pig belly’s underside (more pronounced than in the premium stockman or serpentine stockman).

All of the stockman patterns point back to the cowboy of the early west as to their origins. The name comes from the types who carried it: the cattleman or stockman. The spey blade had a particular usefulness for cattle (true to its namesake)…let’s just say it had to do with the males of the species.
