Who still carries a Case Knife?

[Jody744]

So the bottom one in this pic looks very interesting to me, trying to figure out what pattern so I can look it up to get one….

I’m starting to think the same, but if it’s a new one I’d be all over that!!!!

I just acquired a '74 6332. I'll post it here sometime soon, but love yours! Great pattern.

My favorite pattern by far. Now I need one in red bone and maybe a 5232/52032 in stag.

One day I think I'd like track me down a sowbelly single blader

 

[Spillproof]

I carry a Case just about every day (some days I opt for a Russel Green River Works or a Robeson). I alternate between Stockmans, Trappers, Seahorse whitlers, and Barlows.

Here's the medium Stockman in my pocket today.

I'm partial to the slightly longer 32 pattern with its half stops as opposed to the slightly smaller 032 pattern without half stops. And if you can manage to get some of that sweet old stag to go along with the original 32 pattern, how could you complain! But in all honesty, both the old and the new patterns are great and I'd be happy with either a 5232 or a 52032 in my pocket!

Curiously enough I thought the 32 had half stops but this particular knife does not.

Just finally ordered one of the relatively recent (like last few years) Hobo knives. It looks so cool.

I understand it that case transitioned from the 32 to the 032 tooling in 1978. Some of the knives from 78 got the 32 pattern stamp but used the 032 tooling. So, especially with 78 knives, it's possible to have what appears to be a 32 pattern with no half stops. The 32 tooling should be 3 5/8" closed whereas the 032 tooling will be 3 1/2".

I bet if yours doesn't have half stops it's 3 1/2" closed and is a "32" pattern made with 032 tooling A very unique knife indeed! It also looks like Appaloosa bone, of which I wasn't sure at first. But, given the timeline the Appaloosa seems more likely as well.

Thank you for the lesson!
