I do the same thing! Sometimes it's just a good excuse to use my knife. It's also a good way to enhance the patina on carbon steel!

Nice review. I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, that I’d planned on using on fishing tackle, but I think I’ll go see if they have a twin of your new Case. I too, am fond of yellow delrin large Stockmen.Hanging with the Camillus today is a new one that arrived yesterday. This is my first Case large stockman. I decided to go with yellow Delrin and CV steel, since I've enjoyed that combination so much on my Case medium punch stockman.
The new Case is a very impressive. The whole knife is overbuilt in comparison to my GEC Dixie stockman. The pulls are all a perfect 5, with a decent amount of snap. No spring gaps. No blade wobble whatsoever. Sharp out of the box, although maybe a bit coarse in grit. Pinched bolsters. The blade thickness measures to be about .020" behind the edge on all blades, which I consider very appropriate for a knife of this size. I really dig the big wide sheepsfoot. I'm always a bit disappointed when I buy a stockman, and get an undersized sheepsfoot blade, since the sheepsfoot gets as much use as the primary clip. And I always prefer a nice full clip blade in terms of aesthetics. For less than fifty bucks, it's a heck of a knife. Case totally nailed the large stockman.

Great compliment to the Camillus, Buzz. Case can do it very well at timesHanging with the Camillus today is a new one that arrived yesterday. This is my first Case large stockman.

Took these out of my pocket to take a pic with the horse stall as a backdrop. However Tag took a interest in what I had in my hand. But seemed quite unimpressed once he realized it wasn't something he could eat![]()
