Today it's my dog leg jack and my 1974 case stockman I got at a pawn shop. Really liking these knives.

I have a 1977 version of the 6347 that's a great stockman. Don't know if yours is a "47" pattern or a "75" or "92" (any of which are excellent).

Send me the pix via email and I'll post 'em up for you from my personal (non-bladeforums) account.
 
Today it's my Erickson Jr. Michigan Pen in the buckaroo-style pouch that I made for it.

Thanks, Andi. Bill makes some great knives (and like the Bose's, is one who shares his knowledge with up and coming makers).
 
Today was my Case/Bose Muskrat. Kind of a celebration for a Case/Bose Norfolk that should arrive in the next two days.

Elliot, I just love the lines of that large Sowbelly. I bet that beast feels awesome in the hand. Very nice collection as always :)
 
I having a small problem. I mostly carry my medium case stockman cv and that is the best knife I have owned uptill now for EDC. The clip is long and stiff enough to be usable for fish, smallgame, light cutting in wood and stuff when I build on my garage/workshop so I dont always have to reach for my moras and its also usable around food and fruit. The sheapfoot is as god as any straight edged blade and my wery favorit secound blade, beside them its the pen, since I started using that around knifeinsecure people I havent heard one coment about carrying to big a knife for opening the coffeebag. Exelent knife. I could do as good with a 2 bladed jack but now this is the knife for me.
Problem is I have turned to take an interest in lockbacks also and carrying my U2 rather often togeter with my stockman.
So you ask why is that a problem....I dont know....Its just me that has a tendency to be problemoriented....Mabye

My Kan Coats barlow, for a week now, and I don't think I'll have something else for now, although 3 new ones are heading my direction.
Elliot-I love this "Texas Jack" it has such elegant line and the bone is superb.

Thanks, Mike. We based it upon Ken's father's Case "Texas Jack" (1970's vintage) with some modifications to the jigging and secondary blade at my request. I'm very pleased with the way the knife turned out and it's much nicer than even the images convey. :thumbup:
