Here's my stash of 32's & a few 90's (no one can ever say I've been afraid of color ) ...

Case - my favorite maker.
Stockman - my favorite pattern.
My first knife was a Kutmaster stockman given to me by my grandfather back in '70-'71. I was 8 or 9. Wish I had a better memory!
Anyway, here's my collection to date.

Comparing open main blade angle on most of my 18 pattern Case Medium Stockman knives. The older the knife the more angle on the blade when open, and the wider the blade. OH

Nice knife, but what I really want to say is Blood & Thunder is one of the best books about the American West I have ever read.

Thanks!

I'm enjoying the book. And it was only $5 at a discount store!
Being in AZ, do you get out to see any of the places mentioned in the book?

Once I learned about the existence of the Case 27 pattern (pen knife in the Stockman configuration) I started looking around for one, found it last week. OH

Great little knife eh Bruce?

Personally think the 27 is a great secondary small job watch pocket carry. Kind of odd first time to see and handle such a small Stockman . Have a few myself as I recall (can’t recall how many off top of my head) and they function and snap like their bigger siblings. My recollection is is clear on action and snap for sure.

Edit: looks like one of my XX 27 pattern is posted on page 9 of this thread with a quarter for size reference.

[Old Hunter]

You are right Jerry - very snappy walk & talk, surprisingly good action for such a small pocketknife. For about 18 years I carried a Schrade 108OT everyday to work (lost it on a jobsite in Fayetteville in 2005). This knife is the exact same size as that knife was except this Case is snappier than the Schrades were (I had the Uncle Henry too, forgot the pattern number, lost it first). Bruce

Nice little knife. Did not know they made a stockman that small. Had to look up the info on that pattern. Curious how far back they made those.

"The three bladed version is one of many knives known as a stock knife or stockman. It is among the smallest stockman knives, measuring only 2 3/4″. Because of this, it is often referred to as a baby premium stock knife, or small stockman. This knife most often has a clip master blade, along with a pen blade and sheepfoot blade. Case started making them sometime between 1940-1964".

Hey FarSide,

I have to look again if I have any others but the three XX I own all have clip, sheepfoot and Spey with Spey all alone at bottom end.
I think I counted once and CASE has nine different Stockman patterns. Can’t recall if I included the rare 66 pattern in that count. I have a TESTED 66 posted on page 6 of this thread that is a relatively unknown and rarely seen Stockman to most collectors.

Great knife Bruce.

Okay, I found that 66 on page 7. Very nice. It must be rare because they don't even list it in the Case Research Pattern No.'s Info here in AAPK. How does it compare to the others as far as size?

Here's a 53087, 5347 and a 6392

3-1/8” or a hair over. Listed in Traders Guide. Never have seen another at this point and time.

[Old Hunter]

Very nice trio Greg - each one a beauty. OH

[Old Hunter]

Farside, there is also the more common Case 33 pattern, which is another penknife sized stockman pattern by Case - the 33 has square bolsters instead of rounded - they are easy pocketknives to find. OH

Yes I do. I've lived and worked in the area of the Navajo Res. for years in AZ and NM. Plus I have a son in law who is half Navajo and his Great-Grandmother was part of the Long Walk.

[RalphAlsip]

This is a Case Classic 6340 - not sure who made it (Queen?). It's a large pattern at approximately 4 3/8" closed.
