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.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 1:35 pm Redrider is correct...it's a 1975 Case four-blade stockman with red bone handle.

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.
