Case 6318 SS Boy Scout Medium Stockman

[JKendall]

I recently purchased this knife and wanted to get some more information about it. I tried looking up the stamp for the age but couldn’t find one that matched. I also wanted to confirm if the green bone handle is real bone or not depending on the age of the knife. Thank you for any information!

Welcome to AAPK. The knife is genuine bone. IIRC they called that olive bone. The age can be determined by data here in the Research section (click on Research in the header at top of this page). Scroll down to find Case Pocket Knife Age Identificationhttps://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/content/kn ... ification/. Find the tang stamp that matches the stamp on your knife. Count the number of dots and X's remaining on your stamp and read per the directions.
