Plum Ridge Stockman Folder Knife 7" Handmade Purple Resin with Hook Tool

Traditional stockman knives earned their reputation as ranch and farm essentials by carrying multiple blade types on one handle, but adding a hook tool alongside the clip point pushes this build beyond the standard configuration most stockman patterns follow. The Plum Ridge Stockman Folder keeps that expanded functionality, giving this stockman pocket knife real utility range beyond a typical two-blade layout.

Introduction

At 7 inches when open, with a 3-inch blade and 4-inch handle, the Plum Ridge Stockman Folder stays compact for everyday carry. This purple handle folding knife uses purple/burgundy resin secured with silver pins, giving the handle a bold color that stands apart from traditional bone or wood stockman handles.

Plum Ridge Stockman Folder Blade

The clip point main blade on this multi-blade folder pairs with a hook tool, giving you two distinct functions within the folding two-blade construction. Carbon steel forms both cutting elements, and this hand-forged folding knife build keeps the traditional stockman folding mechanism while expanding what each blade position can actually do.

The hook tool component works differently than a standard second blade, so familiarize yourself with its specific function before relying on it during actual field or utility tasks. This handmade EDC stockman should have both carbon steel elements dried thoroughly after any wet-condition use, since carbon steel rusts faster than stainless if left damp. Store it in the included brown leather belt pouch when not in use.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
