It's a 4 blade -47 Stockman pattern from 1975 in bone, what info are you looking for? Sweet knife. ::nod::

Redrider is correct...it's a 1975 Case four-blade stockman with red bone handle.

The pattern number stamp 64047 P can be deciphered like this:
6 = bone handle
4 = four blades
047 = Case's pattern number for a stockman frame
P= punch blade

I'm not a stockman collector or user so it's probably just my inexperience with the pattern, but it seems to me that most stockman knives typically have only three blades and a stockman with a punch blade is somewhat less common.

Correct, most have three blades. A punch blade was a handy feature back when folks did their own leather repairs, but it became more of a novelty. Possibly why Case discontinued that version.

For the OP, answers for most questions can be found here:

Thanks to all of you for the info. I didn’t know anything about Case knives, been carrying this one for about 50 years, and I will keep on carrying it! Also, thanks for the welcome to the group.
