I enjoy carrying this single spring two blade Stag 47 from the XX era.

Exceptional Stag!!! Nice knife!! I always think of that model as a two-blade Stockman!!

Also from the XX era, this Redbone 61048 farmers knife (an older term for it!!)!!

Growing up I remember those being called "switch" patterns. Pre-WWII Queen catalogs called them that. Mid 50's companies changed the name. Queen changed the name of the pattern to "utility" and some used "farmer", field", "slimline", etc. It was because of the 1958 Anti-Switchblade Act. Companies did not want to be associated with the name.

I have never come across another Case Sowbelly in this configuration. I thought it might have been modified, but I have the original box. This is the way it left PA. It might have been a SFO. Anyone able to shed some light?

I know it's a vault pattern, but these little Pocket Hunters are so easy to toss in a pocket they've been moved into my carry rotation this year. (I typed this earlier and forgot to hit the "post reply" button... )

Today's carry, 6347SS. This was the first Case Pocket-Worn pocketknife I remember seeing, bought it from a dealer in WVa when I first started buying way more knives than I needed. OH

TAH T thedonald you guys have some sweet, vintage Case Knives to carry!
Spillproof that is one of the better modern bone handles by Case - your knife looks particularly nice. I had a 6207 Trapper with a Wharncliffe once that had that cover, however I gave it to my US Army Soldier niece. OH

Thank you I love it.
When I saw it on Ebay I actually cursed out loud because I KNEW I was gonna buy it.

Did Case discontinue the Tribal lock? There isn't anything listed on the Case website and it looks like retailers are selling through old stock. I hope not, that is my favorite Case pattern.

Best regards,

Incidentally I phoned Case and inquired. They didn't discontinue the Tribal lock; however, they are not in production. They stated supply chain issues............

Best regards,
