I've been carrying a new Case Harvest Orange, pocket worn Muskrat knife for a few days now.
I love this knife, I'm really enjoying it.
Sharpens up real well, fits perfectly in hand, and it's and awesome work knife... I really worked it hard
since I got it.
Anybody have one of these? What do you think of them.. Harvest Orange series or Muskrats in general?
 
I don't have the Muskrat but I've got these two in Harvest Orange. I like both knives a lot and the Harvest Orange is one of my favorite Case colors. I need to get more.

63046 Humpback Stockman



63090 Medium Stockman

Beautiful knives!
Yeah, I'm loving this Harvest Orange too.
 
I've got a 6318 Medium Stockman in Harvest Orange, though mine tends more towards brown and not orange. It was one of my more regularly carried knives for a while. I've got a Case Muskrat in Chestnut Bone CV. It's a nice knife that I never carry.
 
Like Railsplitter, I have a humpback stockman in Harvest Orange (thanks, Mike). It's a superb knife, and the pocket worn finish feels so silky in hand! :thumbup:

I'd love to hear more about the humpback stockman pattern. Looks great, and super pocket friendly. Is it?

Orange is really growing on me as I get older... I guess all colors are, really :rolleyes:

Hi Mark. Oh boy, don't get me started on the Humpback Stockman.:) It's a great pattern that has a lot going for it in my opinion. Spear main blade, sunken joints, nice fat Sheepsfoot blade, and there's even a phosphor bronze bushing in the pivots. And yes, very pocket friendly. If you like the looks of them you will probably like it even more if you get one in your hands.

Here's a pic of my Gum Fuddy version with the blades opened.



And another pic of a Factory Test Run Humpback Stockman in Teal Bone.

Not enough makers use those.

Poor eric - wanted to talk about Muskrats and everyone is on about humpback stockmans.

As to the Muskrat - I have one - Chestnut Bone CV. Seems like it would be a fine knife to carry and use. It has never made it into my pocket, so I can't really state an opinion about using it.

I have a chestnut CV muskrat also. Mine is a very nice knife I keep in a small bunch (7) of Case Chestnut CV knives I have. The knife is well made and would accommodate most all cutting task I might come across. That said I am not a big fan of the pattern. I feel two exact blades are a bit redundant and I prefer a Jackknife configuration over a penknife in a two blade knife but that's Just my personal opinion and taste. I have all my knives except a few to use as EDC's stored right now so I'll post this older picture that shows the Muskrat along with some other Case knives. It is the third from the left on the top row.

I have no muskrat, but a humpback and a sowbelly pw harvest orange. Both are nice but the humpback is sleekier imho. Now I need a medium stockman and a muskrat.
