I got this from Swept Edge yesterday. Case Rancher 6375 CV.... The Large Stockman.... pictured with some future victims.



This knife is a hoss, but I'm really liking it. Edges are sharp, cut through some peaches with it earlier. Trimmed right through some spots that were a little too ripe. The clip is surprisingly controllable considering it's size. I liked the knife so much, I bought a reddish colored CV last night. Once it gets in, I hope to use it while I ask Case to correct some blade rub on this one. Still, it feels good in the hand. Big and beefy, but still controllable. This will be a great companion during deer season. I'm really digging it.
 
I got your anti-peanut right here.

Woodrow, I don't have the Case, but I do like a large stockman. This Moore Maker is 4-3/8" of smooth bone and 1095 goodness.

I like that Moore Maker. Nice bone and rounded corners making things a little easier on the pockets. I'd like that with some corn cobb jigging.
 
Got my Case medium stockman in my pocket right now :)

What's the size on the clip on that 6375 Woodrow, nice knife? :thumbup:
 
Ive got the same one, great knife and probably one of my favorites. The sawcut jigging you have on yours looks awesome. Mines got more of a vertical cut than horizontal. They just look rugged, have lots of heft plus you can never go wrong with the CV steel. Thats a looker.
 
Got the Amber Bone cv version. Carry it mainly in winter when wearing an outdoor coat, at 4.25" closed this is serious Traditional and I find I need a sturdy pocket for it. It's a really fine knife: good bone with deep jigging, moderate pull on all blades, no play and no gaps. I actually like the combo of cv blades and stainless backspring.

Be nice to find a Bonestag 6.5 version of one of these, that can be really interesting as a handle material.
 
I really love Case's saw cut scales like. Makes for a great looking knife :thumbup:

Hope they can sort out those little niggles for you.
 
Aw, Woodrow-- I thought this was going to be about your Lady Leg.

Although, come to think of it, that one's more comprehensively anti-matter.

:p That knife doesn't get much use from me. It's definitely a novelty. I'd like to think the GEC version works a bit better at opening bottles. SAKs do well. I'm waiting on a M. Morris and hoping it does well with the long necks.
 
It's hard to appreciate just how big the Case 6375 is, so here's a comparison shot:



The Peanut is the first brand new Case knife I ever bought. Case knives were rather difficult to find in the Pacific NW in those days and I had to travel 20 miles into Seattle to find any; I'm not sure why, but nobody seemed to carry the brand.

The very first Case I ever bought was in a box of used trapping stuff I was looking through to buy. In one of the boxes were two mint Case 1970's bone muskrats (this was in the late 80's). I asked the guy how much, he said "ten bucks each" so I bought one. (Stupid, stupid, stupid) Then instead of putting it up, I used it some and gave it to one of my sons. He found it years later in the bottom of a bucket and gave it back... rusted beyond repair. Rats.
