Case XX 73087 SS Stockman – Black Curly Oak – New USA-Made

This compact Case XX Stockman is a study in utility and refinement. With three versatile blades and a striking black curly oak handle, it blends timeless tradition with one of the most unique wood grains Case has offered in years.

The 087 pattern is a small stockman configuration, ideal for everyday carry without sacrificing capability. At just over 3 ⅜ inches closed, this knife houses a clip point, spey, and pen blade—all mirror polished and made from Case’s trusted Tru-Sharp™ stainless steel. The bolsters are nickel silver, and the brass arrowhead shield glows subtly against the black oak—wood known for its tight, undulating curl and rare charcoal-like tone.

Made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and factory boxed, this knife is equally suited to display or daily use.

🧲 Historical Note:
The stockman pattern emerged in the early 20th century as a do-it-all companion for ranchers and tradesmen. Three blades offered different edges for skinning, trimming, and precision work. Case’s smaller 087 version became a fan favorite for pocketability without compromise. With the addition of Black Curly Oak—an uncommon and visually rich wood—this knife becomes not just a tool, but a statement of enduring style.

🧷 Collector’s Note:
Whether you're filling out a Case display or seeking a daily carry with elegance and function, this Stockman offers both. The Black Curly Oak scales are uncommon in modern production runs, giving this piece elevated collector appeal—especially paired with the 087 frame and three-blade layout. Lightweight, versatile, and built with Case’s legacy of American cutlery, this one earns its place.
