Case Caliber knives?

[afishhunter]

Anyone have one or more? Opinions?
Do they use the same blade steel (or same blades) as the more expensive knives of the same pattern?
That "as ground" Tan Caliber Stockman is calling out to me ...

I recently picked up the caliber mini-trapper (nice lightweight hiking knife with two full-length blades.) They do use the same Tru-sharp steel -- nothing special, but easy to deal with.

One thing I would mention, though, is that the synthetic handles are significantly thicker than you would get with a traditional bolster/scale arrangement. I didn't mind, since it gives a bit of bulk to the grip, but if the stockman turns out to be done the same way, it might be a bit odd. It would be worth it to see about hunting down a video review or a better picture.
