Default New knife

Back in the day when I wore a coat and tie every day I carried this bone-handled Case mini-Stockman. Cool little folder, about 2-1/2" closed - it fit well in the pocket of a pair of dress pants. Well, those days are over (good in most ways except for my bank account!) so I decided it was time for a "big boy" knife. There are lots of good ones out there but I've always been partial to Case knives, so this medium Stockman showed up. I thought about getting the large Stockman but I decided if I wanted a knife that big it'd be a sheath knife. Amber bone, 3-7/8". Feels right good in a pocket (should have wiped the fingerprints off)...

Phil, I carry a small Remington stockman that's been my carry knife for more years than I can remember. The small blade is a little shorter now from using it as a screwdriver. At least now it's a better screwdriver!

Always good to have knife in your pocket...except when entering some US Post Offices and your county courthouse (both learned the hard way)

I must be one of the undangerous citizens. I have never been questioned about the knife in my pocket. Even the nuns didn't give it a thought.

I think Stockman's are a great all purpose knife to have on hand. I have a few Swiss army's I sometimes carry but always go back to my Stockman or my small Opinel.
