How will does this knife fit in pants pockets? Looked at the length on a ruler this seems somewhat long. But I really want american made. This would be a gift

The Stockman is a tool for someone that needs it frequently. I would suggest the cadet which is a smaller version of the Stockman and is lighter.

It's a good knife. I'm glad I own it. But, it is a substantial knife. I don't often carry it in my pocket. I'm afraid I'll wear a hole in it. I carry a small 1 blade Buck knife I bought at Dick's Sporting's Goods for about $13. I think it's called Solo. Maybe you could give both knives. Sometimes the big knife is the best one to have. Usually, the little knife is all I need. I wish I could be more helpful. Ask more questions. I don't mind. Buck Solo is made in China.

I carry it in the change pocket of my wrangler jeans. It's a little bulky there, but I live with it because I use it so frequently. The knife is excellent quality steel and craftsmanship and I'd be lost without it. It's one those simple little treasures and pleasures (and for me an irreplaceable tool) in life.

It is 4" closed. If does make a distinct print on the outside of the pocket. I carry it in my pocket, but it is larger enough to carry in a case in the belt. I LOVE this knife, and I carry it in my pants pocket. BUT, I do not carry it when I'm wearing slacks, it will quickly wearout the pocket material of anything but dungarees, (denim)or thicker trail/hiking pants. It is large enough and solid to do serious work on the farm/ranch, and small enough to keep in the pocket.

It is a large knife. I have a sheath and wear the knife on my belt. Buck makes a medium stockman, which I have and it fits in my pocket better as I am not a very big man 32 inch waist jeans. Hope this helps.

The knife might be a little big length wise. The sheath that it comes with is cheap. But it comes very sharp.

I have a Western Bowie knife that measures 9 1/8 x 2 3/8 with very little extra length in the sheeth. I inserted a thin steel rod in the sheeth to see if there was any extra room but there was none. Your knife would probably fit but, depending on the hilt thickness it might bottom out and possibly cut into the bottom. The quality is exceptional as well as the price so you might want to get an extra in case you do eventually cut into the bottom.

Maybe if its a deep and narrow pocket but this knife is more of a desktop conversation piece for you to appreciate and others to gawk at. But if you must pocket carry then you will likely find yourself readjusting it so it doesnt interfere with sitting, walking, kneeling, squatting, running. That being said, i have never carried it. It has never even left my house. I bought it for the menacing length, handsome wood grips, black finish, and super value price. Forthe price just get it but seriously consider something else for pocket EDC.

Yes, there is space it's not really a bad knife but the issue I have with it is the lawks system, if it did away with this it would be an exceptional knife. But the lawks system completely locked the knife rendering it a fixed blade. I would seriously consider another crkt product or something else.... Kershaw is not to bad for the price range of these knives.... I guess I was to hard on the m16 but my benchmade, Spyderco, microtech, Kershaw, and other have held up to such abuse.... All in what you want and what you are using it for!

Like dimensions or knife size? I have a 16 inch global knife and it fits into either of the large inserts with room to spare. Overall due to the slanted design it's really much the same size as a regular knife holder. Hope this helps.

No it is not an American Made Knife. Schrade was sold to yet another China corporation as our politicians have encouraged sending jobs overseas because big business funds their re-election campaigns. It's not that great of a knife either, only the first half of the knife is actually sharpened so the blade length is misleading.

Is this a good knife for a hunter? Smaller game I'd say yes. I've had mine a while now for general use and it is a nice knife, ez to carry, sharp as a razor, ez to keep that way and USA MADE quality! I carry it everyday..

It's to big for your pocket unless you got some really baggy carpenter pants and throw it in your pocket that's down at your knees. About 6" long and about a 2.5" diameter

It's large but I carry it daily no problem .It's my favorite EDC knife. I carry it inside the front of my pants, clip goes under the belt, knife at a 45 degree angle inward. Less visible than in a pocket, better access than in back pocket, better resists a knife grab. I had a guy grapple-in and grab the knife from back pocket -luckily he was a friend. I own 3, try one you won't regret it!

There is no country of origin stamped anywhere on the knife or sheath. Shame on me, I had not considered this. I guess that's why I bought Gerber, assuming they are all U.S.A. But some web research indicates this knife may be made in China. Oh well, you know what? It's a Gerber and it's dam nice. As for quality in this day and age, I don't think you can make a case against a Chinese Gerber knife. I'll just have to be more careful with my homework next time!

I don't think I can answer your question with a simple yes or no. In most cases what is comfortable is a very subjective judgment. I am 5 foot nine, with average sized hands. I have had a knife in my pocket or on my belt for more than 60 years. More often than not that knife has been a buck. This is one of my favorite Buck knives, I find the shape, size & weight a good fit for pocket carry, but I often belt carry as well. Will you like it as MUCH I? I CAN'T SAY, BUT I THINK I'D BE A BIT SURPRISED IF YOU DID NOT!

The dimensions of the knife when it is closed are as follows: length is 3 3/8 long, 3/16 thick and 1 7/16 wide. The thickness is the actual body not including the locking button and clip which on mine was shaved down and clip removed. It will fit into a credit card slot in a well worn wallet with ease. Excellent knife great quality and very sharp, would recommend!

Sorry it took so long to respond I just received the message. My husband said it would fit a 3 inch belt. He also says it is a great knife to take in the woods.

I've only worn it as a horizontal carry belt knife, just as a disclaimer. I have had the knife for nearly a year now, and it's slipped out of its sheath once (a couple days ago, doing yard work). I had been applying pressure to my waist, so I don't think that really counts, but it can slip out if the right (very rare, and highly unlikely) circumstances arise.
