Another cool NOS find..

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Another cool NOS find..

Post by toomanyknives »

Scored a great NOS 6375 Case Stockman today at one of my local haunts. It is a 2013, new in box. I wanted
a beefy EDC, and the price was right. Blue Delrin handles ans satin finished SS blades. This one is gonna' get
some use for sure!

I have one of those too. Case called them the Workman and they were a little cheaper because the blades are not polished.

Thanks Mike! I love the 92 also. The 75 is a beast.

Yes sir, OC. I was happy to find it. At first glance, I thought it was bone. They did a pretty good job on the Delrin jigging, and I like those satin blades..

Too cool! I like the dark blue, in large part because I was in the Navy. Congratulations on a great find!

Is the "satin" blade finish the same as "as ground?" Or a third variation of finish?

I think it's the same as "as ground", tallguy. Satin is just my terminology... I just call it that as opposed to mirror or polished finished..

I will preface this by saying that I'm neither expressing nor implying that anyone is using correct or incorrect terminology.

That said, I'm not sure if "satin" and "as-ground" are one and the same. Case calls the blades on their American Workman series, which are noticeably different from TMK's Stockman, "as-ground." Here's a picture of an American Workman Stockman for comparison (picture borrowed from caseknives.com):

And TMK, thank you for the thank you. It's always nice to know that what I did was appreciated.

I think mine was a "Workman Series" also from 2013, Dan. I think they would look much closer in person than they do with my 10 dollar camera! LOL!

Case did change the appearance of that series after your new find was made. I guess both have as-ground blades!
