Case knife with incorrect tang stamp.

[DavidJC]

I just received Case Medium Stockman (Blue bone with red shielsd - number 63032 made in 2023). Its a good knife but the tang on the sheeps foot blade is is incorrectly etched 62032, which refers to a completely different model. Has any come across this before?

Yes, the box is correct and I do keep my boxes. The blade tangs are now etched and not stamped on this years Cas knives. I reckon someone pressed the wrong button on the etching machine. Thats Case quality control for you.

You are probably spot on on the QC.
Case has a high turnover rate of help.

is that blade used on the other knife it's labeled as? reason I ask is they maybe using up stock and getting rid of inventory.....

No it’s not. The 62032 uses a clip and pen blades not the Sheepsfoot.

gotcha. so typo or clicked wrong numbering input or forgot to change it from last batch made on the etching, something like that......then most likely

That would be my guess also Jesse.

Check for an upside-down biplane as well.

Could be worth a pretty penny.
