Thank you Vince-thats very nice of you, I do know what you mean...I think that the people here are just great....Here is a photo of a BEAUTY of a knife that arrived yesterday...and speaking of great people...this person being one of them sent me this knife, I dont have a knife with a punch ( until yesterday ), what a combination....fantastic knife.
I want to thank this person Greatly, Im not too sure if I can name the guy-but he is one hell of a respected guy around these parts, and its a very humbling experience to recieve a knife from this person...I have experienced this a few times...and those guys know who they are, and I will be sure to do what I can to be part of this fantastic team that you are in Vince.

I just wanted to add, this knife is a lovely knife to handle, the pull is just perfect, even the punch is manageable , I usually find with GEC-TIDIOUTE...that they can be a wee bit of work until they come right ( and they all have so far for me-beautiful knives), but this one just came out perfect right out of the tube.
The half stops are great, W & T = perfection, and I must admit, I like burnt bone when done right...and man...this is done right...I think everything about this knife is bang on...thank you my friend for this very treasured knife.

Nice slipjiont there, Duncan! ;) I'm most pleased you are using and enjoying her too. :) ..

You are a great fellow blade-bro here and a fine credit to this community! I hope you use this knife often and hard in good health.

Best Always,
Anthony

PS{And you are correct about the scales, they are Bone-Stag or Torched Bone, not Stag(Sorry, my bad :confused:).. Or what us US southern folk refer to as 'B-B-Q'd Bone' :D}

Its a 1978 Case Stockman production thats now long been discontinued. 4 blades, a master clip, medium spear, spey 'fleshing', and a punch. Covers are a jigged Coffee bone.. And all at 3 7/8 inches closed so as to sit just perfectly in my RF watch pocket. :)


Best Always to All,
Anthony

I carried my SBJ yesterday and noticed it missing at the end of the day pocket dump.:grumpy: There was no choice but to switch it up today so I pulled out this Boker that I haven't carried for a little while.

That is a realy nice pattern Anthony. That is realy to take full advantage of the space for blades in a serpentine handle. The punchblade locks very nice, a good punchblade isnt an simple tool to make look and work great. It also seams to have a fullworthy clip mainblade. Wonder if its costs of production that is the reason they not make it anymore. Also nice jigging and colour on the bone.
Myself I carry the knife You sent me about two years ago and I have done so most of the days inbetween. I dont know if you remember the 63032 you sent me but I have been looking for one with the same jigging and colour of bone as Im interested what its called but haven found one. Mabye its a little like your coffebone in coulour but the jigging is more asymetric.
The blades is now darkgray from fruit, fish and birdblood, fat from butter and fat from dry meat and sosages and from stearing my instant coffee into boiling water while at work.

Those are some sweet swedges Jason. Another oldie, but goodie.

I'm still carrying my Menefee Zulu today. I meant to carry my Bruce Bump, but somehow this one just slipped into my pocket. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Howdy Bosse, its so grand to read your comments once again!. :cool: Yes Case took full advantage of this Stockman frame from back at least as early as the 1940's and up until the late 1970's when this knife was produced. Especially when one considers the added advantage to the end user of only 2 back-springs in full support for all of the 4 blades for this slipjoint. As far as the reason that Case discontinued this model, its probably quite true that expense had something to do with that decision but I would add that in addition to expense it also had much to do with the experienced expert cutlers that they had at they're disposal at the time. This particular model is extremely difficult to build. Then add to that a profit had to be made.. and I think you have your answer why they discontinued the model #64047P.. However, if you can find one in decent condition I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hard chore slipjoint with all the good hi-carbon working steel in every usable blade variation that one would ever desire in the field.

Of coarse I remember sending you that fine old Stockman. :D I am so pleased that you EDC and use that vintage #63032 for the hard chore action that is aforementioned here! :thumbup: It warms my heart to think on all the great places you have taken her into and I sure hope she continues to serve you well in those wonderful forrests north of Sweden.. :cool:

Best Always,

I really like that knife and that is one beautiful photo. Nicely done sir!
 
I never thought of taking a photo like that to show the profile on both sides!!! that is awesome...great knife and great image. :)
 
Well......I WAS totin my Erickson swayback, which I forgot was in my pocket going through security on my way to DC. Luckily I live in Nashville and ever 3rd person has a knife on him, so security is used to it and doesn't have a hissy fit (I'm talking about you NYC, Boston and Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Then when I went to mail it to myself, the dumba#s people manning the desk had disappeared. So now my favorite swayback is hidden in a covert spot at Nashville airport under some duct tape.
