Late 90s chestnut is a great color, carried over into 2000.
Then Case replaced the chestnut with amber apparently in 2001.
Even used the same item numbers for some reason.
Here's 1998 63032 CV EDC as originally found & after I made it a smoothie.
Chestnut 6318
6318 can be found with regular clip blade instead of turkish clip if so desired.
Pocket Worn Red, Natural, and Blue and a few R5318s.
Two other mediums worth consideration, the _3087 and _3090
Good luck with your search, I'd vote for the 032.

Chestnut Bone is a wonderful choice, just got a Swayback cv in it to go with the Medium Stockman.
Nothing wrong with Amber Bone either! In fact, I reckon that CASE does better jigged bone than other manufacturers-they certainly have a vast range. Another bone of theirs I like is Crandall cutlery green, or most pocket worn models. Then there's their Antique Bone....
I would very much like to see a round bolster Stockman that has a pen blade, that would be my ideal.
Aha! The previous post HAS a round bolster Stockman with a pen! Didn't see this and haven't seen one before, thanks:thumbup:

Yep, 087 is a great pocket sized pattern with roundy bolsters,pen blade,
and serpentine frame/scales.
I carried a 1978 22087 jack for about 30 years before I gave it to a
new 087 collector. Spread the Joy, right?
Now this is genUwine bonafide pocket worn, I garrantee!
Here's another 087 stockman, a 53087.

That patina is a result of my love of apples.
I eat a couple of apples a day and tend to get the yellow/golden apples. I cut them up using a different blade at a time.
Regards.

Id vote the same way. That modell is my all time favorite. Mine has some cond of brown bone and is made in the middle of the 90-ties
