Does Case still make the following...

been surfing the bay a lot recently and i now know what traditional i want: cv blade, serpentine handle, bone, round bolster, one blade per spring, at least one clipped blade.

thus far i have only one case that meets those criteria and it's a peanut. i own a medium stockman and it looks ok but it has crinked blades. i can't find jack and pen knives that meet my specs. there's a nice cv pen but the handle is yellow synthetic. there are a couple nice bone jacks but they're in stainless, not cv.:grumpy:

So buy the peanut. It will do most of what you gotta do, doesn't take up much room in the pocket, and it's pretty to look at. Comes in CV with chestnut bone, amber bone, and stag. If ya look hard, you can find them in damascus. Come on, ya know ya want one.

Of course, if you listen to these guys here, they'll tell you that I'm a bit prejudiced on the subject.

Check out the 6347 stockman they have three back springs now so they have a spring for each blade and also they have rounded bolsters. They make them with stag handles and cv blades as part of the ranchers series, they would be a 5347 though because of the stag handles. Really a great pattern one of favorites for an edc knife.

carl, i'm holding the chestnut bone peanut right now. i just got a little bummed out at the start because there was some mashing on the kick where it hits the spring on closing but it doesn't really look serious, just unsightly.
jth, thanks for the info on the '47. i really love seeing the sandwiching of bone-brass-spring-brass- on cases. the brass spacers give great smoothness of action (unlike my 301 stockman that's a bit sleepy because the blade rubs against spring steel.) finally, i love seeing one blade resting on its own slot, bounded by brass spacers.
