I've been carrying a Case medium Stockman for years and now I see that GEC is releasing new Calf Ropers. Does anyone have pictures comparing the two, especially in their thickness? For me, the medium Stockman is as big and thick as I can carry at work but I've really fallen for the looks of a Calf Roper. Thanks!

Which medium stockman? 6318 or 6332 or 6347 etc? I'm not sure where I put the 6347 but I have a 6332 handy. Will that work? Here's a photo that I had handy. The other knives are a Buck 301 and a Schrade 8OT.

Hmmm... I used to have a couple of 18 patttern stockmans but I don't presently have one. I don't recall if the Roper is thicker but they're similar in length: 3.5" Roper vs 3 5/8" Case 18 pattern.
My micarta Roper is about 1/2" thick.
Here are a couple more comparison photos that I already had handy.
