Carried my Schrade 34OT to work, now that I am home and getting ready to head out to my monthly VFW dinner and meeting I have switched to this Case jack-knife. OH

I just received this #81 Northfield Abiline in African Blackwood yesterday - a beauty to say the least. This is my third Stockman now. This one is 4" closed and I particularly like the long-pull. The fact that the spines of the main Clip and Spey blades are flush with one another makes this one more sleek. Typically it seems the spine of the Spey blade rides a bit higher than the main blade in the Stockman pattern. On my #66 Calf Roper and my Case large Stockman this is def true.

Very nice new addition to your collection.

The 81 is a lot of knife in one package. It looks great in blackwood too. Mine in the moss green bone is a favorite
 
Primble that make photo makes me want to purchase a constellation of stars in the shape of a Charlow, ..maybe the TC and the pins.

Thanks Brett - the Charlows are just laying on a shiny piece of black granite and the clouds in the sky are reflecting back into the image. I thought it gave an impression of stars in the sky at night and maybe the milky way included. :)

Would you be able to take a comparison shot with your Calf Roper? Kinda on the fence with #81...
 
Thank you! To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure as I won it some years ago. :D It does look a little different from my yellow one but not much, and it takes a devilish edge! I'm very fond of this modest little knife as it is so well finished, it gets a lot of my time.

I have a Camillus Buck 303 and a Buck Buck 303 that are quite different. Schrade made them a little differently too. Might be the case with 30xs in general.
