Recently me and a friend decided to go hunting a fter turning the hounds lose and talking for a bit he reached in his pocket fof his yellow Med. Stockman and it was gone I want to get him a replacement knife something that would be good for skinning coons and other every day general stuff that a man uses his pocket knife for his old case was carbon steel. So I'd like the new knife to be as well
 
You can still buy case knives in carbon steel, they are called cv now. Basically carbon steel with an additive to improve performance. Great knives by the way.

The Case knife you want is the 3318 CV model, which runs from $35-$40. You can find them just about anywhere.
 
Jeff's suggestion is the right one. If you are outdoors a lot, moving about etc losing a knife is a likely event. No point in spending big on something that could also go missing.Replace his yellow CASE with another. Or a Yellow Buck Stockman perhaps? They're a reasonable price too.

Easy enough! Just get him a new Case med. stockman with cv steel. Nice gesture for a friend, by the way!

Buck? I thought with the exception of the 110 and some of their fixed blades that they had moved to china.

No. Most of their line is made in their factory in Idaho.

Of the traditional pocket knives, the
301 large stockman
303 small stockman (cadet)
305 small pen knife
309 tiny pen knife
are all made in the US.
All of their traditional looking lockback knives are also made in the US.
 
Good choice.
I like the Buck 300 series. I have a yellow 301 in my pocket tonight as I type.
 
My dad's an avid coonhunter and has carried Opinels for the past several years. Though before that he carried a plethora of different slip joints, mostly your typical american brands like Case, Schrade, and Queen. He was always very fond of the Trapper as I recall. Though for skinning he always felt thinner was more desirable. The Muskrat (Dad always referred to them as simply a "skinning knife") is also a grand pattern for skinning and held in high esteem by a number of outdoorsman who take hides. The 300 series will not disappoint and is a very reliable choice, you're both in for a treat. Buck's 420 is very reasonable, and a good all around steel IMHO.
