Case expert needed!!

[PointyThings]

I just found an old BF discussion about this topic: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/attn-case-pattern-experts.1197010/

 

[Hickory n steel]

The sheepfoot wasn't the issue, though that angle is fairly common on Case stockman patterns. It's the clip variation and the "1/2" that has me curious.

Sorry, I should have specifically quoted the comment I was responding to.

I'm not sure but doesn't the 1/2 mean it's a smaller version?
I know the mini swell center " cokebottle " is the 25 1/2.

AFAIK, the 1/2 is used when the master blade is a clip instead of a spear. The old thread I found on BF suggested that the 1/2 on 6347 was used when the clip was a California or Turkish clip instead of a standard clip. The clip or clip style is the only difference. Overall length is always the same if the pattern number is the same. The 6347-1/2 is the same length as 6347.
