Does any one around here regularly carry a seahorse whittler? I don’t whittle but I thought it looked like a pretty handy knife for general use and was considering ordering the amber bone with carbon steel. I looked back through 40 pages on this thread and didn’t see any but thought I’d check to see if anyone had thoughts on it for every day use.

I don't regularly carry one, but I do on occasion. The main blade is fairly thick and the secondaries thin. Feels great in hand though. It works fine for me but I don't ask for too much with a pocket knife like this. Does just fine with apples and boxes.

Thanks for the reply and the pictures. That is a hefty main blade! I still haven’t decided if I need one or not.

This one gets a frequent turn in the Sunday Stockman rotation.

Thanks Dave
Its a 6207 Mini Trapper with amber bone handles. Stainless. No special designation for the caplifter.

Super cool!

Among the nicest Cases I've had the pleasure of carrying. This is a Case Brothers 4-blade congress.

Case XX 18 Stockman - 1940-64
My favorite stockman. These older ones are a amazing.
Top to bottom:
6318HE
6318HP
6318PU

The top one is my grandfather’s which he purchased just before I was born according to my dad. Putting it around 1960. I noticed the PU stockman is very similar with same shield, clip profile & nail nick location. The bottom HP stockman (below pic) must be older with larger shield, different clip profile, & nail nick location. Subtle differences. Probably expected since this stamp spanned 24 years.
