A Case 6254 Trapper. This is a great 'lill workhorse that I am not afraid to beat up... as it is already a bit beat up. Great walk 'n talk and very solid. A very good size for most of my everyday chores.

Case Copperlock . Had a friend who makes custom knifes make a easy opener out of it for me. Been carry this for years and open 20 bags or more a week of cattle feed and it always holds a edge good and just touch it up about once a week. Would like to carry one of my older case knives but just can’t do it.Some if you guys carry some beautiful knives but I like to keep mine in my knife rolls.

Been totin' this Case 63046 Humpback Stockman for the last few weeks. It took me a couple years to work up the nerve to carry it but I'm glad I did. No regrets.

My 40-64 Stockman I don't tote it very often, it's hopefully going to be my "retirement carry" if I make it that far.

That is " Sweet '.

[Railsplitter]

That is " Sweet '.

Thanks cudgee.

The 63046 is an interesting pattern. Case uses Phosphor Bronze bushings in the pivots on this model. That combined with no half stops makes for a buttery smooth walk and talk.

It's also refreshing to carry a "stockman" pattern with a Spear blade for a change.

Very interesting, i have a large stockman with no half stops, and you're right, smooth as butter. The 63046, are these rare, i have not seen one before.

No. They are not rare. It's an old pattern and Case re-introduced them in 2009. The one I posted above has the 2008 tang stamp because it was a test run before regular production began in 2009. I'm not entirely sure but I think the 63046 is discontinued. Just not sure when it happened.

There were a lot of them made. For example, there are a few "Limited Edition" 63046 models with run quantities of 3,000. That implies that the regular runs were much higher. Although discontinued, there are a myriad of handle options still available.

I think I've owned 4 of these over the years but I only still own two. Here's my other one with "Gum Fuddy" handles from 2010.

And you won't lose it with that color! I've been meaning to pick up a 4165 Foldin Hunter with a combo edge blade and smooth orange synthetic scales for the same reason. A Trapper, however, is a bit more pocketable. I have an old '65-69 6265, and every time I carry it, I have to use a sheath on the belt.

Thanks, just saw one on Ebay for $99 US. of a 3000 run.

I have a "Vintage" (really it is just VERY well used) Case 6265 and I love it, but as you said, every time I carry it, I have to use a sheath on the belt. So I am very found of the Case 6254 Trapper. I have a leather pouch I can slide it into and then right into the front pocket. Case must have made an enormous number of the 6254 Trappers. I see them all the time at collector shows and flea markets. I'm not sure how many I have... ...
And still making them.....

2018 10254 Trapper in Earth Brown G10, and a partially serrated clip blade. I like having serrations on a work knife. I'd purchased the 75 Stockman from this series and the 54 Trapper. I'd given my Granddad the Trapper. I just didn't like the ergonomics of the Stockman, so I traded for the Trapper, which is much better in-hand. These knives are both highly polished, and are actually sharp from the factory. Typically, I have to resharpen every Tru-Sharp knife I get.

Today, I think I will pick up a CV Sodbuster at Tractor Supply. I got a busted one in a lot, and I don't think Case will repair a 1974 Sodbuster with half the backspring gone.

Sunny here today, so decided to carry my Russlock in Goldenrod bone.
