Just noticed this on the web. The pictures look great.

I'm assuming this is a new jigging for case, though not sure.

Looks like they are going to be or were just released in iSeptember.

Anyone have one or seen in person?

They are very tempting.

That does look mighty fine. I hope the dye job is as nice as the pictures.
 
I normally think of Rodgers bone as lighter in color, but it looks nice:thumbup:
 
I'm totally not believing that the dye job is as nice or deep as in the pictures. Case has let me down too many times with their cover colors. But I'd be happy to be wrong.

The 4-line threaded bolsters are a nice touch. Good looking knives going by the catalog pics. I agree with Buzz - wait until you see some pics of actual knives before buying.

I am no longer interested in adding any Case knives to my collection but those are definitely what my taste runs towards.
 
Does look mighty good, but I'd still rather buy one "seen" than take pot luck. I've had very good luck with Case's mechanical quality, but their dye jobs are still suspect.
 
Good looking knives. I, too, am suspicious of quality of the dye job and what you might actually get if you ordered one. Be interesting to see some actual examples if anyone picks one up. For the time being, though, here are a few photos from Case (because threads are always better with pictures).

That last pattern intrigued me. On Case's website it's labeled as a Medium Stockman (3 1/4", #63090). I don't know that I've seen that style of equal end stockman from Case before, although I'm by know means a Case expert (and a search of the model # shows that they've produced it in other handle materials). New to me, though.
 
I like the looks of that Copperlock. Hope the colors look as good in real life as they do in that picture!
 
Unfortunately some pics on the big auction site don't look quite as nice. If I ordered one based on the above pics and got this, I would be disappointed.

Examples:

I got a medium stockman recently. The jigging looks the same as most other patterns. The scales on the one I got don't match that well. One side is deep brown, which looks great, and the other side looks a little on the red side. If they were both the brown color, I'd be an instant favorite. Other than the scales, the fit and finish is excellent. Because of that, and since it's going to get beat up anyway, I wouldn't want to exchange it and take a chance on getting one with other issues.
 
Barrett, I borrowed this photo from your post above. I just ordered this Case. Thanks for the heads up. I asked the dealer for the 'darkest' one possible, so we'll have to see. He had a few different colors available but the "pinstripe" description was the clincher for this NY Yankees fan. I'll post photos as soon as it gets here. If it's as nice as my Humpback Stockman I'll be happy.

That's about what I expected from Case.
 
I'll be keeping an eye out on these. Gorgeous knives and I do not have a Case or stainless knife.
Hope a sowbelly rolls out.

Wouldn't mind if the shield was larger. Seems a bit small to me.
 
They are typical Case "Walnut" bone. I have seen them from very dark to a bit lighter. Really like the jigging and the threaded bolsters. I am not crazy about the small shield either.

That is a common Case stockman pattern, though most folks carry a serpentine version. Some Case dealer web sites let you search by pattern name. I find that more convenient than the method Case uses on their website of sorting on cover material.

Case actually makes 4 different models that are each called "medium stockman". They vary in size from 3 3/8 to 3 7/8" closed length. The term "large stockman" is reserved for their 4 1/4" model.

Thanks, Frank! I knew there were several Case "Medium Stockman" models (round bolster vs. square, pen vs. spey, a model with a punch, etc.), I'd just never seen the equal end stockman. Good looking knife. I agree that the method for searching on Case's website leaves a lot to be desired. :D
 
Case has five "medium stockman" patterns currently:

'18
'44
'032
'087
'090

The '47 is just called Stockman and the '75 is the Large Stockman. Then there is the Sowbelly, which does not also include the word stockman in the name, and the Humpback Stockman which was recently discontinued.

You also have the '33 which is the small stockman. The '27 (discontinued) was also offered as a Small Stockman.

Premium stockman was a term of art, not a collector term. Always serpentine, not equal end. Manufacturers don't always follow tradition... and might not know it. Sometimes they just completely make stuff up like calling a curved jack "viper". I suppose it's better for marketing than having 5 different knives called "curved jack".

The 090 Stockman is one of my favorite patterns, and I think you'll like it. It shares fully sunk joints with the Humpback Stockman, too, and on this knife that means the blades ride really low in the frame -- unlike some Stockman patterns that have very high-riding sheepsfoot blades. Absolutely vanishes in-pocket, but it's a pleasing size in-hand (at least for me).

The new bone looks like it has a lot of potential. This knife should look great in a warm brown bone. Looking forward to your photos! :thumbup:
