Is this pattern available in CV?

I love everything about my Case 6347 stockman but the blade steel. I'd really prefer it to be CV. I've got a few CV stockmen, but they are all either bigger or smaller than this one, and the clip blade is sort of different on a couple of them as well.

Do you guys know if there's a CV version of this knife? I don't mind the handle material, or if it's discontinued (I can always hunt for one on e-Bay).
 
You can still find 6347's from the 70's online.

Much nicer bone (if you get the reddish bone), strong springs (only two) and excellent carbon steel.

Worth searching around some.
 
As Elliott mentioned, the older versions are well worth the effort to locate IMO.
The 6347 is a great pattern. I had never really thought about it before, but for some reAson they didn't make a lot of them in CV..

Here is one of my favorites.

Stop showing those off! I hate you guys...

Seriously, though, thanks for the info. I'll start hunting for one. It's just the perfect traditional folder pattern for both my urban and outdoors pocket knife needs.

Keep us posted on your results. Good luck!
 
Thats a beautiful stockman patterned knife. Definitely a "To Do List" add on:D Elliott thats a pristine looking specimen you got there:thumbup:
 
When Case made the 6347 Sh SP in CV it was one of their best selling patterns. For some unknown reason it was discontiuned in 1990.

From the XX era through the mid 70's, the 6347 in CV was also offered with spay and punch secondary blades and with spay and pen secondary blades.

In those days the 6347 also had the conventional construction - two backsprings and a center scale instead of three backsprings with no center scale.

Still relatively pristine after wiping the blood off it last year or the year before! (It bit me good.) :eek:

Takes a wicked edge, I'll tell you that. (Though that had nothing to do with the bloodletting which was caused by sloppy operator error and distraction. ;))

Blood is a great way to start a nice looking patina. :p
 
Elliott, I just noticed yours has a bigger head on the center pin.
I don't recall noticing that before on any of my other specimens.

I think the reflected light creates a bit of optical distortion but I can't find anything unusual looking at the pin site when examined with a loupe.
Perhaps other 1977 versions were similar, I dunno.

Could be. Another of the many Case mysteries :D

I don't want you to think I was insinuating that something had been changed on your knife.

It got me to thinkin though, so I pulled out a few from that era and looked at them. The one thing I noticed on mine, is that the cut for the rocker pin on some knives, is actually cut bigger than the head itself :confused: While the cuts for the other pins, are actually cut just big enough to fit correctly..

Perhaps I have a little to much time on my hands today :D
 
Sorry to resurrect this older thread, but does anyone know what the HP stands for in 6347 HP? The ones I've seen say FOR FLESH ONLY on the spey blade--is that the only blade that is CV, or are none of them CV in the 6347 HP pattern?

HP means the knife has both a sheepsfoot and spey blade.
