Peach Seed Jig Amber Bone CS Medium Stockman with Pen Blade

Some knives earn their place by doing a lot in a compact size, and this Case stockman does that. The clip blade is the multipurpose workhorse for daily cutting and detail work, the sheepfoot blade adds strength at the point for carving and clean cuts, and the pen blade takes on the lighter jobs. Three blades in one pocket knife that closes at 3.63 inches is a practical everyday carry.

The handle is Amber Bone with a jigged peach seed pattern, the look that is a signature of the Case line. The blades are mirror-polished carbon steel, which takes a fine edge and resharpens easily. It's a knife that looks good in the pocket and gets used every day.

Why carbon steel and a three-blade stockman

Carbon steel is the old-time choice for a working knife. It takes a fine edge, sharpens back quickly on a stone and cuts cleanly through hay string and rope. The trade-off is that it rusts and stains more readily than stainless steel, so it asks for a little care in return.

A stockman is a pattern built for a day on the place. A clip blade for the everyday cut, a sheepfoot for the work that needs a blunt, controlled point, and a pen blade for the small jobs that come up all day. It suits a horse owner who wants one knife for twine, tack and farm chores.

Amber Bone and peach seed jig are the look Case is known for, and this knife wears both. It's made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, from domestic and imported materials, and it comes boxed.

How to use it

Open and close the blades with care, and keep them clean and dry. A thin film of oil on the blade after use protects the finish.

1. Open and close with care. Hold the handle, not the blade, and keep your fingers clear of the edge.
2. Cut with control. The clip blade handles everyday cuts, and the sheepfoot is the one for carving work.
3. Wipe and dry after use. Remove moisture, feed residue and dirt at the end of each day's work.
4. Oil the blades. Keep a thin film of oil on the blade to maintain the finish.

Good to know

• Carbon steel rusts faster than stainless, so keep it dry and oiled, especially in a truck or in humid Florida weather.
• Keep a sharpening stone in the barn so the edge is always ready. A few light passes beat a long session.
• Keep your receipt with the knife, in case you ever need the warranty.
