This is my first post on the forum. I picked this up today from my local Case outlet store. I've lived here for 7 years and never been tempted before but this could be addictive.
Medium cv stockman with punch in amber bone.

I've never seen a knife quite like this! I like it. Thanks for sharing the open photo.
My first Stockman arrived today, a Case Medium cigar Stockman in dark red bone with deep canyon jigging:
The style of jigging necessitates wide bone at the center of the knife, which gives it some nice girth for such a light knife (just 2 oz.). I'm a fan of interesting bolsters, so I like that it has an engraved bolster.
Bought from Matti Koski while I was visiting the Kauhava Puukko Festival.
Pocket Puukko in Reindeer antler and Curly Birch, almost exactly the same size as a GEC 25 when open. Really exquisite mini puukko that is made for pocket carry. Naturally there were a lot of fine puukkot on view from other sellers, some in Damascus, many quite expensive up to 400 Euro . Whilst I can admire the artisan skill and beauty, the Puukko remains for me an essentially outdoorsman's knife, simple rugged and highly effective. Maybe why I've always stuck to cheaper more functional ones?
Oh, it's hellish sharp too

Congrats on a successful conclusion to your long search, Jeff; the maple covers on your Queen look fantastic!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Welcome to the traditional subforum, duderubble!
VERY nice Case you picked up! 
A lot of the Case amber bone seems too light for my taste, but yours has lots of the rich "amber" color!Will, I don't think of myself as someone who pays much attention to fixed blades, but that little guy certainly caught my eye!Bought from Matti Koski while I was visiting the Kauhava Puukko Festival.

That's an absolutely stunning knife!! :thumbup::thumbup: Do you think it's something an amateur could use for whittling, or is putting that knife in the hands of an inexperienced whittler just begging for trouble?? Another couple of splendid Winchesters, SAK Guy; congrats!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Is the large trapper part of the Black Box series? The rifle shield and the reddish tint to the bone aren't typical of the few Black Box knives I've seen, but I really have no idea how much variety is included in that series.
