2005 Case XX 6318 SS Stockman – 3-Blade Pocket Knife – Jigged Bone – With Box & Paperwork – 3 5/8" (Mint/Near Mint)

This 2005 Case XX 6318 SS Stockman is a beautifully preserved example of modern American traditional cutlery—classic in form, smooth in function, and dressed in warm jigged bone handles that echo Case’s mid-century heritage. With three polished stainless blades—a clip point, sheepsfoot, and spey—this stockman embodies the practical versatility that made the pattern a staple among ranchers, tradesmen, and everyday carriers for well over a century.

The honeyed jigged bone scales shimmer with depth and texture, framed by nickel silver bolsters and accented with brass pins and liners. This knife has seen almost no carry and retains its factory snap, tightness, and sheen. It comes complete with its original green Case XX box and warranty/survey paperwork.

📜 Historical Note:

The 6318 Stockman is one of Case’s most iconic working patterns, first rising to prominence in the ranching and agricultural boom of the early 20th century. By 2005, Case had refined the pattern into a collector-grade piece while preserving its roots as a dependable tool. Many enthusiasts consider the early–mid 2000s SS Stockmans to be among the last “classic era” Case workhorses before production volumes increased and bone jigging styles evolved.

🧲 Collector’s Note:

The 6318 is consistently one of the most sought-after Case patterns due to its perfect blend of portability and function. This 2005 example stands out for its pristine condition, rich jigged bone, and complete packaging—making it equally suitable for display, gifting, or adding depth to a Case stockman lineup. A strong entry for new collectors and a desirable year for seasoned Case fans.
