Vintage 1981 Case XX Stockman Knife – Red and Cream Bone Handles – Model SR6347 1/2 – USA Made

This vintage Case XX stockman knife is a stunning 1981 example of American craftsmanship and utility, blending form and function with striking color and solid build quality. Featuring a red-to-cream natural bone handle with rich marbling, this piece carries a bold character from both sides—like two moods in one pocket. The primary blade tang is stamped CASE XX USA with nine dots, dating it precisely to 1981. The reverse tang reads SR6347 1/2, a pattern denoting stainless steel blades and round-end bolsters in a medium stockman frame.

All three blades (clip point, sheepfoot, and spey) exhibit bright polish, tight walk and talk, and excellent snap. Truly a knife that feels as good in hand as it looks on display.

📜 Historical Note:
Case knives from the early 1980s continued the company’s longstanding tradition of producing high-quality pocket knives rooted in American frontier culture. The “SR” prefix signified stainless blades—a practical evolution embraced by outdoorsmen during the stainless boom of the '70s and '80s. This particular knife's red bone coloration, marbled against a creamy reverse, gives it a rare two-tone appeal that collectors appreciate.

📌 Collector’s Note:
The SR6347 1/2 is a medium stockman pattern that remains a favorite among Case collectors due to its comfortable size and traditional three-blade versatility. The strong snap and dual-tone handle make this example especially appealing for those seeking a unique carry or a standout display piece in a vintage Case lineup.
