Hope yours is as good!

I love those SBs Loopcutter, I have a non case version I am waiting to try out after the Opinel challenge. I was in the shop today and ended up snagging this sowbelly too. So many new knives building up over the last month!

I am excited as it is my first Case purchase, and was happy to support the local shop owner who is a cool knife/leather guy. I am counting 10 dots on the blade, which means 2020 from my cursory search.

I once used one of the single blade sowbellys as an emergency turkey carving knife.

If you like it, give the '47 stockman a try, same blades and about the same size, just a little more svelte. Probably my favorite Case.

Good to know its up for a little turkey carving!  :)  I will keep the 47 in mind, this one is SS so I will probably need to pickup a CV model at some point to try.

 @Enginears
For reference I included a couple side by  side shots of my Sowbelly to a 47 pattern and a 75 (the large)

The Sheepsfoot is hardier on the Sowbelly than 47.

The Yellow is a CS version 75 pattern

The bottom is another 75 pattern, was a bargain and exclusive to Shepard Hills in SS


I have only seen pictures of a single blade Sowbelly and typically when a SOWBELLY appears at table or auction site they are priced at a premium.  I found mine at a retailer, with the original MRSP price point, making it bargain.

CV and CS models are frequently misunderstood by sellers, and good buys can be had compared to SS models😉

This Case has been carried since the day I bought it. Just a great knife.

Thanks for the comparison shots, the 47 looks like a great size. The 75 though! Looks huge, I already find the Sowbelly to be on the heavier side.
I really like how the blades are tucked on the 47. I ground on the kick to lower the sheepsfoot on mine, but I wonder why Case has the nail nick on the same side as the clip point. The way it is on the other stockmans makes a lot more sense.

Good to see another Russlock fan! I was just thinking about giving mine some pocket time.

One of the only things I saw in SHOT Show videos that piqued my interest was the new Bridgeline series knives by Case.  My Longhouse with OD Green Micarta arrived today, and I love it!  My only complaint is that I chose the Longhouse over the Highbanks due to it being one-hand openable, but it's awkward to open with one hand (likely, my fault).

I’m thinking about the highbanks as it looks uk lega.

My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

Yes, that one looks very nice too.  I love the drop point blade on it.  :tu:

I’ve eyed up the Longhouse as well.  I haven’t pulled the trigger on one though, largely because the blade is somewhat shorter than I prefer on a single blade knife, and also because I wasn’t thrilled with the price.
