Medium stockman

[Hesmikeb]

I keep seeing knives in SMKW magazine listed as medium stockman and with a closed measurement of 3 5/8. They look like 6318 and 63032. The 63032 and 6318 patterns that I have are 3 1/2. I have pre 1978 6332s that are 3 5/8 with half stops and a transition 6332 that is 3 1/2 without half stop

Is the one in SMKW a different pattern or did they go back the 3 5/8 for 63032 or do they just have the size wrong

I have a few 63032 medium stockman's (great lil' pattern) and they all measure in at 3 1/2" closed length. I've noticed many Case dealers quote the closed length of the 63032 at 3 5/8" ... I can't speak for the 6318, as I don't think I have one of those. Not sure about the SMKW catalog knives but I would guess they are the standard medium stockman 63032 or 6318 at 3 1/2" closed? They may just be using specs they get directly from Case? Sorry I can't be of help.

Are they actually the measurements given, i have found sometimes the tolerance differences can be up to 1/8 of an inch, especially in actual blade length. I am always wary of the measurements given on websites, and if i am really interested in purchasing i will email them and ask them to actually measure the knife, just my 2 cents worth.

The 6318’s I have and I have 6 all measure 3 5/8 closed.

Don't know if this will help, Hesmikeb. Here is 63032 from 2005 I have, and a 6318 from 1979.
