Case XX U.S.A 6318 HE (circa 1965-1969)
I picked this up new/unused in August 2009 from a vintage knives dealer. I have used it some (mostly for cutting apples and steak) and carried it on Sundays.
There is some natural patina on the main clip blade from aforementioned use but the other two blades are still bright. Knife has very light scratches on bolsters from carry and the red bone scales have no cracks or chips and are very nice.
Besides the clip blade, it has a sheepsfoot and pen blade. These are good carbon steel blades with no rusting or pitting. No spay blade on this model. All blades have not been re-sharpened. Walk and talk is excellent. Blades lockup up tight though the pen blade has a tiny amount of wiggle.
One nice feature of this vintage knife is that besides the nickel silver shield and bolsters, the pins and the liners are also nickel silver. No brass.
Length of this medium stockman is around 3 1/2" closed.
I have listed this knife for sale on other sites so a timestamp will help determine who ends up with it.
WITHDRAWN $100 paypal preferred. Free USPS Priority Mail within the Continental US.
