Help me choose - Case Medium Stockman

Well they are basically the same knife just with different handle material. Personally i like the amber bone better than the red bone.

They are also different sizes - the 6344 is 3-1/4" the 63032 is 3-1/2".

They were offering the 63032 in chestnut bone and CV as well.
 
oh hey they are different sizes. i completely missed that. I still prefer the amber bone, the slightly larger handle will probably be more comfortable in the hand.

I have a chestnut bone peanut, the chestnut is gorgeous. the hard choice for me would be between chestnut and amber.
 
I knew they were different sizes, but somehow I completely overlooked the chestnut bone! That's definitely in the running now, too! :thumbup:

It's so darn hard to judge knife handles by the pics on websites - I have an amber bone small texas jack, but does anyone have any good pics of the chestnut bone and/or the dark red bone?
 
here's some pics of the chestnut bone on my peanut. i wish i could find a spot in my EDC for my peanut, but i just can't bring myself to carry it. it's so pretty.

I carry my peanut in the watch pocket of my jeans,I am really hooked on them,as for the stockman I would go for the larger model.my favorite stockman is the 75 pattern.
 
I prefer the round bolsters as found on the #18 (3-5/8") or #47 (3-7/8") patterns, but they don't seem to make either of those with the pen blade, only the spey. I'd go with the 63032; 3-1/4 inches is just too small for me.

Dark Red Bone Medium Stockman 6344 CV, 3 1/4"

So in previous threads the expession a "Hose lipstick" was applied to the red bone
I have to agree the red dyeing is not particually subtle :rolleyes:
It is 3 1/4" which is not that small, but as most Case knives, there is less blade lenght under the bolsters than other brands
So the knife begins to get small.

3 1/4"
Queen Dan Burke (Sanvik), Canal Amber (SS), Case Red Bone (6344 CV), Case Small in Amber)

Amber Bone Medium Stockman 63032 CV, 3 5/8"

Exactly the same as your small texas jack but with three blades

I do not know if you are set on a Case.
But the Queen Amber (D2) is only $8 more which looks exactly like the Canal above (Canal used Queen tooling), and the jump in quality and F&F is well worth it.
And the Queen Dan Burke (Sanvik) is only $10 more (if you like Sanvik) and the jump in quality and F&F is more than well worth it

This is a Queen 3 1/4" open in delrin, but it comes in Amber bone or Maple
The blade lenghts are the same as the 3 5/8" Case

After reading and looking at pics it's really no contest - 63032 CV Chestnut Bone! I think the slightly larger size (compared to the 6344) will suit me better, and that chestnut bone is really calling my name! And to think - that one wasn't even on my list to start with! ;)

A big hearty "Thank You" to all who posted here! :thumbup:
 
I guess I'm in the minority by quite a bit. I've always been a sucker for the 3 ½" CV Case Medium Stockman with Yellow Derlin Handles.

I have one and carry it on occasion. Very nice knife and the CV blades are easy to sharpen and maintain. I have several Case knives with the yellow derlin handles.

The yellow handled ones are pretty sweet too.

For your consideration.

Love this stockman. Very easy to carry and sharpens up nicely.
