I'm trying to learn some folks here about slippies. Could someone post pics of a 3 spring Buck stockman, next to a Case stockman, I'm trying to show what "crink" is.
Also a side x side of the Peanut, next to the 087 maedium jack (Case)for size reference.
Thanks.
 
Curses. If I were at home, I'd do it. I'm on the road at the moment, and the only knives I brought with me are my Barlow and my Pacific Salt heh. I have the two stockmen, but no peanuts/medium jacks.

I can kind of describe it from memory: the Buck Stockman (the China-made 371) has liners on the back which do not show through on the front of the knife. Each of the three blades lay straight - next to each other.

On the Case large stockman that I have, there are only two springs, with the clip and sheepsfoot occupying one end of the knife, and the spey blade the other. The latter two also share a spring. The Clip and Spey lie straight. The Sheepsfoot lies between the two, canted at an angle so it will fit. However, when opened, the blade sits almost straight. Hope this helps in the absence of pictures.

That's the crink I'm talking about, everyone thinks I'm making that word up.
The reason for the jack/peanut is a Marine I know won't buy a peanut, since he's ashamed of the name, the only thing comperable is the medium jack. (I think it's about the same size with in 1/4").
 
When I first got a Case stockman and returned home and saw the crinked sheepsfoot blade I was livid. Thankfully I learned in short order it was supposed to be that way. :) Of course I should have checked it out more closely at point of purchase.

I was a little annoyed at it too, since I hadn't had any stockmans with only two springs before (I had the 371 before the Case). I got over it, and really enjoy the knife now. I shudder to thick how thick a large stockman with three springs would be.
 
jpvjr,

Here is a 'crinked' photo I have -easy to get to- it might show what you need.
Will look a little more, will take one if needed........What is a Case???? 300Bucks

OK, NO Cases, only two non-Buck stockmen both rusty old time unkowns. But here is a 60's Buck Stockman made my Schrade, next to the brand new, this year stockman with three springs. Can't do peanuts but could do littles and bigs ? 300
