From a Farmer's Tool to a Collectible: Case Large Stockman and Case Humpback Stockman

Another great review, Stefan! Bravo! You had me a little worried at first.:)

The Stockman is my favorite pattern and I have become very attached to my Humpback Stockman.

Thanks for the video.
 
Another excellent piece, schmalhaus -and the intro cracked me up! :D:thumbup:

Thanks for the great and informative video.
 
Another nice review Stefan:thumbup:! Keep the sheeple in the pen with the rest of the sheep!
 
Stefan,

Another great video. thanks for sharing.

Did I see a grinding mark on the sheeps foot blade on the large stockman? If so, would it be typical to see a grind mark here or there on a knife at this price point?

Good stuff, but maybe time to review some companies other than Case.
 
Stefan, I have been on a real traditional knife kick lately, and have really enjoyed watching your fantastic videos on youtube.
I especially enjoyed the video about the barlow knife, complete with a delightful piece about Mark Twain, one of my favorite authors.

Thank you, and keep up the good work :)
 
Great video, Stefan. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a question. As someone who appreciates old-school pocketknives, do you find yourself to be a rarity in Germany? During my occasional travels there, I've found Swiss Army Knives and modern, single-blade folders to be a lot more common, which I never understood, considering the quality of many German-made slipjoints.

Thank you, Mark! - To be honest, I don't know many German knife collectors in person. I usually stay away from events or conventions. So I can only judge from what is going on on the largest German-speaking knife forum. There seems to be quite a large group of members that enjoy traditional pocket knives from companies like Böker, Carl Schlieper, Robert Klaas, etc. As for my appreciation of Case knives, I do find myself a rarity. This brand is almost not existent here in Germany.

Thank you! - I'm glad you like the video about the Barlow knife. Putting this video together was a lot of fun.
 
schmalhaus,

I've watched many knife videos on YouTube and I have to say yours are some of the most enjoyable I've seen. Honestly, what caught my attention first was the music. I've been a huge Grateful Dead fan for many years. That aside, I love your blend of history and story with your own personal take on the knife being highlighted. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out there. I've not watched them all, but look forward to it at some point.

I'm 99.9% sure that mark is a blade rub. I have a '47 pattern stockman in orange G-10 with exactly the same mark. The sheepsfoot rubs on the 'peak' of the clip blade, upon closing.
