Love the color of the rich orange bon jog scales
I love Case knives and fell in love with the sowbelly pattern mostly thru my collection of Rough Ryder of over a dozen of their sowbelly stockmans. This is my second Case sowbelly stockman I purchased and I love the size and chunkiness of this knife. This isn't a petite narrow knife like classic pattern stockmans. What makes this knife for me is the rich orange bone jig scales, which are a very rich orange color. The only negative about this knife is the blade rub, with a spay blade rubbing against the wharncliffe blade and causing a minor and permenant scratch out of the box, which is almost always an issue with Case stockmans. I wish they would make a three spring stockman, instead of cramming into three blades using two springs, which necessites an angling of the the spay and wharncliffe blades.
