This medium stockman from Case is on the smaller side of medium - I also have the amber bone medium stockman which is larger. To put the size in perspective with their competitors from Buck, the Case medium brown stockman is about the size of the Buck 303 Cadet while the Case medium amber bone stockman is just a tad smaller than the Buck 301 Stockman. I guess medium is in the eye of the beholder.

The fit and finish of the Case knife is excellent. It is a handsome knife, with a traditional stockman blade lay out. The Tru-Sharp Stainless Steel of the blades is polished. From what I can tell, this is similar to 420HC steel used by Buck, though with Cases heat treatment and tempering. I can't tell the difference between the two steels in use, though I saw some suggestions the Buck steel is a little better at edge retention. I suspect most of us wouldn't know the difference in every day use at the office, which is where I plan to use this. The springs are reasonably tight on the Case knife so that the blades "click" into place and feel secure and safe.

All in all, this is a great size knife for every day carry at the office. Dressy enough for business casual life, and functional enough to span the office to home task settings. Would definitely buy again.

This large bonestag stockman is a beautiful knife. The pics do not do it justice. It is one of Case's most useful knives with this 3 blade combo. To me a one bladed knife is not the best EDC. Three blades are better than one. This knife is big enough to get almost any cutting task done. It is not a lock blade and not designed to poke or stab an object. You could not ask for a better EDC in my opinion. It fits perfectly in the Case trapper leather sheath to be worn on the belt. It feels great in the hand, both open and closed.

I have noticed some folks complaining about blade rub on this 3 bladed stockman. There are 2 springs and 3 blades, which leaves little room between blades. Case is not going to change the design. To minimize blade rub, open the sheepsfoot first and then open the spey blade. Then close the sheepsfoot. Keep the blades oiled to help prevent friction. I do this and have no blade rub. Never open both blades halfway. This puts excess pressure on both ends of the spring that controls them. Besides, this is a workman's knife designed to be used. Blade rub has no effect on its usefulness or quality.

This is the first case knife i have ever own. I really like the look of the amber bone. The knife feels good in the hand and seems to hold a good edge. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a sturdy pocket knife to carry around for everyday use. The only negative that i would say is that the large blade has developed stained spots on it. I don't know what caused the spots, could of been from me not wiping it off after peeling potatoes or slicing a onion.The spots don't affect the performance of the knife so I am not real worried about it.

Would get 5 starts but had a couple problems. I got amber SS medium and when it came it was a lot smaller than i imagined. I will admit i didnt look at the dimensions though so that could be my fault. I expected this to be great right off the bat and the blades were fine and sharp but the hinge was really really tight. I could barely get out the butter knife blade (Spey) and the other two were not easy. I had to open and close it all night in order to get it in an easily usable place. Also since it is so tight it has some nice scratches on some of the blades from me opening and closing it. I will try to post pictures at some point. Now that the hinge is a little less finicky the knife is super solid. The blades are sharp, the knife is built well and it looks great. Only other complaint is that the bone looking handle is more plastic-y than i expected.

Steel is quality, but fit and finish is really lacking. My knife came with the sheepsfoot blade bent to make space for the spey point blade and the blades have scuff marks from where they rub together.

I bought this knife thinking it would blow my Schrade 8OT out of the water and I'm sad to say it didn't. Pretty disappointing.
