Re: Jumbo Large CASE Stockman 6375 Spey and Sheepsfoot neede

I'm with the Monk man on this, I have some early 1970's era Case 6392 and 6292 pattern knives and they are an easy 4 inches long closed. I think the 92 pattern knives have a good feel to the hand. There's not a lot of difference between the 6392 and the 6375 Case patterns besides their different si...

Re: parts and materials list?

I only thought I was scared. I guess I should be terrified. Does anyone used G10 or Micarta? Unless you want bone or the few colors of acrylic they’ve decided we can have, there isn’t much else out there and there is a TON of it out there. Everyone sells it, the assumption is that many people use it...

Re: parts and materials list?

I found yellow paper based micarta on ebay but I can't for the world find where he is getting it. Everyone has linen or canvas or some such thing. Paper looks to finish much smoother. May have to buy it on ebay. I bought some G10 but I'm skeered to death of it. It will kill you from the way they war...

Right again. I've got too many irons in the fire. I figured the "Jumbo" and "Large" would get me pretty far but I'm licksdexic with numbers sometimes and many don’t distinguish a large from a medium like I do. Lets call it a bluish/gray area. A 6347 isn't really a large stockman ...

Mine has the squared off ends instead of rounded but that is about it.

Hey! I'll give you $5 for the blades and you can keep the purdy knife.

Jumbo Large CASE Stockman 6375 Spey and Sheepsfoot needed.

Preferably NOT stainless but I don't really care. I got a knife in a box of other stuff and it's really just shot. It's too bad to use and too good to throw away. The main blade is worn a lot but okay. The sheepsfoot is broken off and the Spey is just a little pointed thing left. The rear handle is ...

Can anyone help with history of this knife? It's dark out right now so I had to use the flash but I think the pictures turned out decent enough. I can get more if needed. It's a shame the main blade is broken. Both blades show no signs of wear (the pics look worse than the original) at all except fo...

Does anyone have a source for the oftentimes funky colored plastic covers on the shell knives? I have a couple but have seen some that would be beautiful if I could find something to re-cover them with. All I've been able to find is clear plastic that is the same thickness.

Does anyone know who made this knife and when? It looks to be brand new but I'not sure if it's new or a survivor. It seems well made with very strong springs and a half stop but it has ill fitting plastic hollow handles. The tang stamp simply reads "USA". It's never been used or sharpened....
