Vintage Case XX Stockman Pocket Knife – Jigged Bone Handles – 1940–1964 Era – 3-Blade Folding Knife – 3 3/8" Closed

This vintage Case XX Stockman pocket knife was crafted between 1940 and 1964, a golden era for Case knives. Featuring three well-aged blades—a clip point, sheepsfoot, and spey—this stockman pattern was a favorite among ranchers, farmers, and outdoorsmen for its versatile utility. The tang is marked CASE XX, denoting pre-1965 production, a highly desirable era among collectors.

The handles are beautiful jigged bone with rich coloration, naturally pocket-worn from decades of honest carry. Nickel silver bolsters and the CASE oval shield complete the timeless look.
