The thing is, the more that I use it, the more that I like it. So this one gets used - a lot, and for hard tasks. I've had a chance now to use this for a while and have more observations.įirst of all, the flaws have been cosmetic. I can see this knife being used regularly.īTTT. I appreciate old carbon steels on 60 year old knives right along side high-end stainless steels. Not so big as to cause discomfort, not so small as to appear and feel puny and awkward I too like the mirror finish and look forward to playing with the steel. There's also a bit of a gap between the main blade's spring and the liner. The edges were what I would consider on the dull side. It's pretty much a solid it comes off with a toothpick like dirt. In fact I removed a bit of it and it seemed to improve things. There appears to be some kind of congealed grease that may be making it less than optimal. The main blade could be somewhat stronger.
The 2 small blades snap solidly upon closing. Walk and talk aren't too bad but could also be a little better. I have gaps between the scales and bolsters on one side that bother me slightly. I don't have the blade rubbing problem that you describe. I've had the knife for a few weeks but haven't done anything with it other than inspecting. Pretty much the same thing but a bit smaller. I have a Case 63032 CV - medium stockman, amber bone, pen instead of spey blade. I've been meaning to write a review of this knife for a while, so to add to your thread: All in all, good vs bad, it's a nice looking stockman that seems geared towards using rather than sitting in a case. I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces. This one looks to be a fair value for the price. I've heard good things about the Case CV steel, can't wait to try it out. The price was good, under $40, so this will be a user. The edges are ground nice and thin, the way that I like them. Should be quick to sharpen, and should cut very well. The blades are all mirror polished nicely and hollow ground. So that makes the size a tradeoff, perhaps a positive. The large size is really comfortable in my hands, much more so than the smaller stockmans. The clip and sheepsfoot blades rub upon closing. Some fairly large gaps between the bolsters and handles.
Also has squared bolsters, so I might be making a sheath for this, a little large for pocket carry. Almost an inch bigger than my other large stockmans, including Queen. This is in CV steel, and just got it today and thought I'd post my thoughts and welcome comments.įirst of all, this thing is big.
