2023 Case Vault Pattern?

[kyhunt]

If they still have the frame for the 92 Texas Jack I would like to see a 6392 Premium Stockman, been since the late 1980's since Case has run one of those.

I'd be interested in giving a moose a chance and maybe a new home...

I’d like to try a Case moose myself.

I like the 92 frame. This isn’t a Texas Jack but it’s a 1990 6392.I would definitely be in for at least one if the brought them back.

My first and maybe my last time trying to do multi quotes.Not sure what the heck I did.

kyhunt - nice Case 6392 (just checked, 1990 was the last year of production for the Premium Stockman) it has never resumed. I have a 6392 made in 1987 which has the same jigged bone as yours, and a 1973 with deep red jigged bone. I would love to see this pattern live again in Case production, especially with all the bone choices they offer today. OH

Is the 6392 larger than the Large Stockman (4 1/4" closed)?

No, the 6392 is a Premium Stockman at 3 15/16” COL, same frame as the 6292 Texas Jack. OH
Ps Edited to be exact to the 16th of an inch, pulled out the 1973 and measured it. Guess it is a nominal 4" pocketknife.

 

[BuckShack]

Thanks OH. I like it!

The 92 is pretty close to the size of a Buck 301.Here’s a photo with a 307 and 301. The 307 is basically the same size as Case 75 large stockman.I think the 92 is a little taller than the 301. The sheepsfoot definitely sits higher.

I would be very surprised if the 2023 vault pattern is a '92 frame. Case completely discontinued some patterns. Some they took the tooling and patterns for and stored them in an actual vault. For the discontinued patterns, they no longer have the original tooling / dies / molds, etc. to start making them again.

I have seen threads here and other places where there has been speculation over what patterns are actually in "the vault" that could come back out, but no definitive answer. I remember in 2008/2009 when they started this plan, they did list some of the patterns going in the vault, which were in production at the time, as they were streamlining their operations to focus on building a smaller number of core patterns.

Based on the timing of the S.H.O.T. show this year, I guess we will know the answer to this in about 3 weeks.

Someone already mentioned it but I'm hoping for a Case 31 jack or something similar. But I suspect we'll see an elephant toe, sunfish, clasp knife or something else a little niche. But regardless of what it is...I'm getting rather antsy and want to know!

A whittler would be cool, or a moose.

 

[EngrSorenson]

A whittler would be cool,

Hopefully we will find out tomorrow.
