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.
I secured my first 6392 a few weeks ago. Mine is 1989 marked, but so far, the quality looks to be there. Hopefully she'll be a performer. Was NIB minus pictures.
Square bolsters are not my overal like on a stockman, but I decided I needed one for the collection!
Here is a couple I picked up recently. 65-69 USA 63047, dang near flawless...Pics look like handles are different shades, flash was on in pile side pic.
Got a little 18 pattern too. Nothing special, I just didnt have one.
And a 2 dot 64047
You be tolerant....
You coexist.... I will do NEITHER!!!!

I'm pretty new to Case knives, so this may be an obvious question, but here goes... I've noticed a few of the knives in this thread with Stag handles have a "fat" handle when looked at from the top-down. Is this normal for the Stag handle patterns? I like it a lot, and am looking to get a Stag-handle, myself, shortly.
Alot of the patterns shown in stag on this thread have fat stag, some don't. Sometimes it depends on an individual knife, even if the knife year/era and model are the same. Some are fat, some aren't.
Usually see it on the larger knives in my limited experience though.
If you don't get additional responses on this, I would suggest that you target your post to a different forum on AAPK. Sometimes a question like that buried in a 9 page Stockman thread may not be seen by many. Who knows you may get the answer you need.
I would suggest posting in the "Case Collectors Forum" and with a subject of "Case Fat Stag versus thin" or something along those lines.
Again, Welcome to the forum. Drop by the "Member Introduction" forum and drop a few lines about yourself if you haven't already.
Regards, Jerry

Was bored today so I did a count of all my Stockmans. Looks like I have about 80 in various patterns, Ran across a couple more to post...
Here is a 1974 CASE 6392 and a 1984 CASE 6392 "new grind". Some really pretty bone on the new grind in my opinion. Not ugly on the 1974 either.
Sorry but cloudy today. can see the clouds in the blade reflections.
Keep posting em! Jerry
