Case XX WR Pocket Knife Medium Stockman With Genuine Bone Handle, Stainless Steel Blades, Length Closed: 3 5/8 Inches

Excellent product. Workmanship is impeccable. I expect this knife will last me the rest of my life.

Blades rubbing, and scratched upon receiving it. Scales fit and finished nicely. Deducted a star for the blades rubbing. I have many Case stockman knives...but this is the only one that has this problem. This knife is small , smaller than a Buck 301.

I am a knife nut. Love case pocket knives, they are the best

One of the best pocket knives on the market. Fast shipping. Great service

I've seen a lot of varied reviews on the specific units people received. Some are good and some are poor. I've noticed when viewing the page listing for the Case Medium Stockman SS Amber Bone, the actual seller listed on the right side of the screen is not always the same company. It depends on when you're placing the order. Mine said it was sold by Parker's Home Store. Today the page says it's sold by Samis Shop. Understandable, but it might also explain some things. My knife was clearly a return from another customer. Two of the blades had very significant wear patterns obviously from opening and closing them many times. And the Case Knife box was wrapped so tightly in strong, clear shipping tape, it completely destroyed the box when removing it. I own multiple Case knives, the boxes are never wrapped in anything like that. It appeared to be wrapped by a customer before returning it. Other than the obvious wear patterns on the two blades the knife functions well. The springs are nice and strong as they should be on that knife. No gaps on the back side, it looks good. The blades are in reasonably good shape after honing them up a bit. The Stockman pattern is fairly well known for blade rub. I've seen knife collectors display their copies which also show the same rub pattern. Some copies are so perfectly aligned that the blade rub is either minimal or none. But that is certainly not the case with all of them. Some people tolerate it, others don't. A way to avoid the marks from blade rub is to always open the Sheeps Foot blade first, then continue from there. It's an extra step but worth it if you can't stand to see any rub marks on the blades. For working knives it's really not a big deal. Knife collectors have a little different view, understandably. Because everything else about this knife seems fine, I'm going to keep it. It's not my only Case Stockman and it will become a working knife kept in my truck. Make note of who is actually fulfilling the order when you buy it. That information might be helpful. I don't think obvious returns with visible wear should be sold to other customers as new, but many vendors do it. Just something to be aware of. As well as the blade rub patterns, which is not that unusual for the three-blade Stockmans. I think it's more common that people realize.
