Readily available Stockman in carbon steel?

[knarfeng]

I've been eyeballing a Case medium sockman in CV (pattern 63032 ), but before I bite the bullet, I'm wondering what other options there are.

Here's what I'm looking for:

~3.5" closed
Carbon steel blades
Natural handle material (bone/wood/horn/antler/etc)
Not flimsy, no thin blades, etc
~$60 or less

By "readily available" I mean just that; something that I don't have to search high and low for. Recent or old, age/production date doesn't matter, as long is it's in new/unused condition. Country of origin doesn't matter.

I don't really care for synthetic handles. If a knife is only available with synthetic handles, but is otherwise "right", go ahead and suggest it.

I know there's a lot of older (and newer) German made knives in carbon steel, but I'm not very knowledgeable about these brands.

I'd also be open to suggestions of other patterns as long as they fit the above criteria, and has at least a wharncliffe/sheepsfoot and a "regular" blade. I really, really like the Case Wharcliffe Mini Trapper, but AFAIK these are only available in stainless.:grumpy: I'm already aware of the Swayback Jack (and plan on getting one), so no need to suggest that one.

This is going to be a "working knife". Something to develop a nice patina on, carry until the jigging gets "pocket worn" smooth. And then maybe pass on to the next generation if/when I have a kid of my own, or maybe a nephew (my bother is married, but I'm not). I was planning on getting a Case Congress to fit that bill, but why limit myself to a single pattern, right? I'm very new to traditionals, so I've barely started a collection, let alone have found the "perfect" knife.

Thanks.

Utica Kutmaster offers a 3 9/16" Stockman with jigged bone scales and 1095 carbon steel. Sells for about $25 under your price cap. US made to boot.

I don't own one yet but have been meaning to try one out. Someone here posted a pic of the Utica Barlow and it looked like a very nice knife for the price.

you mean this one?

I found the Barlow to be decent for the price, though the springs were weak. They make three sizes of stockman. I've got one of those 3 7/8" Stockmans on my want list. It's making its way toward the top. I still haven't compared the edge holding of the Utica to that of a Case CV. But the price is right and is American made.

Yep. That's the one. Thanks knarfeng.

I've been checking in at my favorite on line dealer and every time I do, the 3 9/16" model with the Turkish clip point is out of stock. I suppose that's what is keeping me on the fence.
