Too bad about the ugly holes in the blades   :(

The holes reminds me of Scagel knives. Case is doing nothing new. William Scagel was one of the very early custom knife makers. He lived from 1873 to 1963 if I remember correctly. His knives inspired Bo Randall to start making knives. Quite a few of the Northwoods knives have the opening holes also.

Do I need premium steel to cut mangos?  No but it was sure nice.

We are down to the last one.  We bought a box and have enjoyed them each morning and night.  They were so darn yummy.  I think only one was not perfect.

Case 18 pattern Stockman in S35VN

Overall, I really like this knife.  F&F are excellent, the color and jigging pattern of the bone are nice, and the brushed bolsters sort of match the more brushed (almost as-ground) finish of the blades.

With this knife and Trapper in the same series, Case has done something laudable IMO, i.e. provided quality traditional knives in premium steel at a street price under $100.  I wonder if Case chose two of their most popular patterns as a bit of a test, to try to gauge demand.  Hopefully it is successful, and they expand the line.

As for the holes in the blades, while I would still prefer the more traditional nail nicks, they are pretty much a wash functionally, and not as offensive aesthetically in person as I feared.

While I am not loving the holes in the blades, I am happy they made this knife.  Not much to dislike with S35VN and a Stockman. 

Darn darn darn.

I'm awlso glad that Case made that move. Hopefully they'll prove popular and I'll be able to snag one in the future.

I see the Case S35VN Medium Stockman is starting to be out of stock at most dealers (although the Trapper is mostly still available).  Hopefully this strong demand will encourage Case to continue and expand the line.

 I acquired a Buck slip joint with updated design and materials that consider a TRADITIONAL.

THE Saunter 250 appears to be fashioned after the Canoe pattern.

S35VN Steel, Carbon Fiber scales, torx screw assembly. A 2022 Limited release with a price to match😢. 

I like it, and it is part of my rotation. And despite the work I have put it through the blade cuts today as it did when it arrived with out any touch up effort. 

 
 

Thoughts?

I think many wouldn’t consider it a traditional due to torx screw construction, but regardless it looks like a nice knife!

I hope Case does well with those S35 trads.  Be nice to see more coming out in different patterns.  I'm still loving my Tony Bose Premium Stockman quite a lot so my temptations are at a all time low. 

We'll see how long this will last  :whistle:

So the Buck/A.G. Russell Canoe in 154 CM, S30V, and stag has one of each steels?  Both those knives shown are pretty great.    :like:

Yes, the spear point is 154 CM and the wharnie is S30V.  Both are stamped but it’s hard to read; will have to try for some better pics.

Looks like Case’s small run of S35VN trads did well enough to prompt another run with some additional patterns, and covers this time are jigged buffalo horn.  October delivery is forecast, but some dealers appear to be taking pre-orders.

They all still have the holes in place of nail nicks though.

Way to go Case.  I'm am so happy to hear this.  I've become a big Case fan.  I've also been pretty lucky it seems with knives that are in great shape.
