Had my 2011 forum knife in my pocket when I went and sat my written and driving examination for a US license. Passed!
That knife is good luck.

Must be, but to be honest the test wasn't really hard...I've been driving over a decade now and driven on US roads on my Australian license since 2005.

Thank you for posting a picture of this one. I have a few 6318HE stockmans, and 2 are different than the other. One is a 1973 and looks just like yours, except for the bone handles instead of delrin. The other two are 1978 amd 1980, and these are more like the 6318s you see these days. They're a touch longer, thicker, heavier, and have a different blade profile on the main blade. The bolsters on the older ones taper down, while the newer ones are more bulky. Same model #, yet a very different knife when compared to each other. I was wondering when this change occurred, and your posting of this picture narrows it down to 1977 or 1978. The older ones are extremely pocket friendly, while the newer ones, while definitely not "large", aren't nearly as low profile. The difference is subtle on paper, but significant in the hand or in the pocket.
The 6318HE is one of my favorite Case models, along with the 6332. Large clip, sheepsfoot, and a pen blade instead of the spay blade. I've said it before, but I'll say it again...I don't do much livestock castration 'round these parts these days, so I greatly prefer a pen blade in its place. I often carry my 1980 6318HE (born the same year I was). I keep wanting to carry my 1973 model, since it's so pocket friendly and pretty, but it's so nice that I can't bear to.
