1987 Case XX USA 6375 Large Stockman Knife – Jigged Bone Handles, 3 Blade, 4.25” Closed

A classic American workhorse, this 1987 Case XX 6375 Large Stockman embodies everything collectors and users appreciate about traditional pocket knives—balanced design, durable construction, and timeless style.

This example stands out with richly jigged bone handles featuring deep, dark caramel tones and excellent texture. The iconic Case oval shield is crisp and intact, and the knife presents beautifully from every angle.

All three blades—clip, sheepfoot, and spey—are exceptionally clean with a bright finish, strong snap, and tight action. This is a well-preserved piece from Case’s golden era of late 20th-century production, equally suited for display or light carry.

Historical Note

By the 1980s, Case had firmly established itself as the standard-bearer of American pocket knife manufacturing. The 6375 Large Stockman pattern traces its roots back decades earlier, designed as a versatile ranch and utility knife.

The 1987 tang stamp places this knife in a period when Case was producing reliable, high-quality knives using time-tested methods—before modern production shifts began altering the landscape of American cutlery.

Collector’s Note

The 6375 pattern is one of the most desirable Stockman configurations due to its larger size and excellent in-hand feel. Clean examples from the 1980s with strong snap and attractive bone like this are becoming harder to find.

Whether you’re building a Case timeline collection or looking for a standout user-grade vintage piece, this knife checks all the boxes.
