Question on history of a Case pattern

[Hjalmar69]

How long has the Case 32087 pen knife been in production? I'm really curious since it's one of my favorite Edc knives.
Regards Erik
PS. I have the stainless one and I guess the CV one is older.​

The 03244 was changed to the 32087 in 1987. It was a correction in pattern number that Case made since the 03244 was actually built on the 87 frame. The 03244 dates to 1971, IIRC.

So it is from 1971 but changed model number in 1987?
And thanks for your answer

Yes, if you’ll search online for the 03244 you’ll see it’s the same pattern. It had a bail until the late 70’s.
