This one is 3 3/16 inches long and the old catalog pages show what appear to be identical knives at 3 1/8 inches and 3 3/8 inches, but nothing in between. I believe this one is the 6351, but.... ? And it is also later manufacture (check the grind and the pull on the master). Maybe something entirely different yet?

end of the XX period.

Since it appears they don't have to be old, I'd like to show off my complete set of the 1980-1982 Puma Big Five Stockmans, all factory condition.

Edit: Good gosh!! It just hit me. These are at least 35 years old. ::uc::

And since that Schrade 863 Kon-Kave slipped in here with no objection, I guess it's safe to slide these in. All Camillus except the bottom one which is a Sears Craftsman 9494 / Ulster 63. The picture looks better expanded.

I didn't even think about that. It came and went with little to no fanfare.

That's a great looking stockman S.K. ::tu::

That is a beautiful old Case. What's the closed length of it?
