Recommendation? Case large stockman

sceva sceva see what I can do but I think a Forumite based in America can do this before me and better.....does involve a tricky procedure in not getting yourself slashed to ribbons with all 3 blades open.....:eek::D

Thank You, That is what I was wanting to check. I was wondering about a recent knife purchase where the blade backs were not blended ( sanded?) even with the back springs like my GEC's and older (pre 1960) knives. I guess it is how they do things now; more cost effective to tumble the blanks so there are no sharp corners and install them. It does not detract from using them but I was curuous.

I'm a fan of both the large case 75 stockman or the 47 stockman. The 47 is really hard to find in carbon though. A certain case dealer has a yellow delrin 47 exclusive in carbon steel, but that's the only way to get a new 47 in carbon.

Which dealer?
 
How's the sawcut? Does the center pin stick up proud? I'm not a fan of the Caribbean blue sawcut line has the pins sticking up a little.

I'm in the market for a large stockman, and Red Hill is doing an Olive bone sawcut one coming that is interesting to me.

I have a few options for a 75 that I'm looking at-
Olive crosscut bone (SS)
Natural micarta (SS)
Red Workman synthetic (CS)
White smooth bone USA shield (CS)

I wrote above that the next time I was in the local Case outlet store I was going to look for a pattern 47 CV for 3 springs and no blade rub. Well, I guess I forgot the plan and failed the mission. I only had about 15 minutes and locked in on the 75 pattern instead. I walked out with this 6375. I was focused on one with no blade rub, and I found it with this one. All of the other 75 CV or CS patterns were 63 or 33 (Delrin). I actually started with the Delrin (because 47 was deep in my brain somewhere), but all of them had blade rub.
The mark side and pile side look good, but they don't match. That was secondary to me. The shield is a little proud and sharp, but I don't think it will cause injury. The blades are acceptably sharp, but not as sharp as my recent 6318 acquisition factory edge. The grinds are a little uneven, and there is a small black mark on the spey and sheepsfoot. Hopefully that is just cosmetic and didn't heat up the blade too much.
This is what you get for getting in a hurry in a knife shop. I also should have revisited my goal of a 3347 and I may have walked out a little happier.
It's going to be a user, and I can always touch up the grinds, so I'm still good. DSC_8944.jpgDSC_8948.jpg
