2020 Case Medium Stockman w/Punch (6318PU CV) (Dark Red Peach Seed Jigged Bone)

[@atl17isfast]

Having a frosty cold one and watching some of your videos. I hope you are feeling better. Stay Strong.

[@davidkurle5418]

It's a leather punch. Supposed to be used just for leather, but if you work around cattle or horses, it becomes a multi purpose punch rather quickly (note Stuart's hoof pick reference). You could even put ear tags on calves with that thing, in a pinch. The way I've always looked at it is that if it had an edge it would be a reamer, and if it had an edge and a thread hole it would be a sewing awl. Or maybe I spend too much time contemplating these things. lol Cheers, buddy.

[@Warthogg1]

Thanks David, I just thought it might have had a beveled edge like the punches you see on a Cattleman's knive pattern. But, All in all I'm happy with it, can't wait to carry/use it and get some patina on it.

Oh man, I love your desk!

[@Warthogg1]

LoL 😂 Thanks Mota Man! I do enjoy having knives displayed. It's no fun looking at a stack of knife boxes in the closet. And it gives me a good choice for my carry on any given day. Soon as I heal up, I'll be rotating different knives in and out of the display. Thanks for watching Bud! Take Care ✌️

Just bought a case stockman myself in cv ,used,and I agree about case jigging it's gorgeous. I'm actually surprised, I very never liked the stockman pattern much but I've been buying a few recently and I've been converted. Thanks for sharing.atb paddy

[@Warthogg1]

It never was my favorite pattern either Paddy, but one with a punch, CV steel & some beautiful covers is something I can appreciate. YTB🍀😊👍

[@traditionallarry5378]

Rick I picked up the Case medium stockman with the Carribean Blue bone scales and I also got the large Case Stockman with the Bone Stag scales,this one with the CV blades and the medium has the Stainless blades,waiting to see how the CV patina.

[@Warthogg1]

I think the CV steel holds a "smoother" all around patina as opposed to 1095 carbon that sometimes gets patchy. At least that's my experience. Take Care Larry! always good to hear from you ✌️

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yup I hear ya!!!! You should see some of the ones I get!!!!! I didn’t see any with a punch I love a punch!!!!!!! That’s weird there should be a edge on it I would think........ be well bud stay safe...... get that back better!!!!!!💊

[@Warthogg1]

Thanks Pete I can't wait to get healed up for sure. They make this knife in black synthetic & yellow synthetic, both were sold out so I bought this. Technically that's a punch, but 99.9% of the time, there will be some kind of edge or at least a curved slightly sharpened edge to it. But it'll definitely punch through anything - it's got a pretty badass look to it.

[@KnifeDetector]

Man, that Zombie killer looks pretty cool!! I like that color green! I also have a video on a 6318 coming up in a few weeks. I got a great deal on mine used, but your s looks so pretty, it makes me want more! Thanks buddy!

[@Warthogg1]

Yeah KD..That Blackjack is a beast, can't wait until I'm healed up so I can't put it through the gauntlet. The Toxic Green Micarta is insane.. 😆 The 6318 is a great little knife, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I haven't put mine down since I got it.✌️

Beautifull Knives thank you bro 👍👌

[@Warthogg1]

Thanks Ruben!!

[@stonemason4902]

Your collection is amazing, it is a good thing listening to you discussing individual knives and reading the knowledgeable comments, can see you doing a village hall stall based Q and A style talk in a rural setting. (After you and Jersey have set up a shop.) The radioactive style warning on the packet was a bit scary.

[@Warthogg1]

Thanks Stone, Sorry about the delayed reply. Things are still touch & go over here. I'm glad you enjoyed the rambling. Soon as I heal up a bit, I want to rent a booth at one of the knife shows up here in Michigan this summer or fall. I would get to ramble on with all kinds of knife enthusiasts! Talk about a town hall setting.😂

[@HobieonYouTube]

I don’t have one, but maybe the thinking on that punch is that with two right angle edges is will bore when twisted both directions? Beautiful handles, thanks for sharing it.

[@Warthogg1]

Hi Hobie, sorry it took so long to reply bud. But the spring tension is minimal, & there is no lock. So twisting would only be feasible to ream out a hole that's already drilled. It feels like if you tried to bore your own hole, it would fold right up on you. Definitely a light duty punch, leatherwork tool for sure.

[@JC-su3jw]

Hey Rick. I've got an old Case 6592 from the 80s with the punch it's beveled but not much of a sharp edge.

[@Warthogg1]

That's what I was kind of expecting JC, just a beveled edge to clean out or expand the holes. But it is a Stockman, a rancher knife, so a basic leatherwork punch makes sense.

[@norby0418]

I have two with punches and both look like yours so my guess would be that’s normal. Mine punches and scrapes just fine.

[@Warthogg1]

Hi again Arlen, I was able to put a more defined edge on the punch & I also did some modifications to the Sheepsfoot blade, lowering it a little - which solved the problem of the punch hanging up on it when closing. So now, I consider it "New & Improved" lol Thanks for watching & your input!✌️

[@2371Anita]

Enough eye candy for me! 😃 I'm going nuts about your desk! 😁 If I could choose between a million dollar house and your desktop candy, I know wich a would choose! 😁

[@Warthogg1]

LoL 😂 Anita!! I'm so glad you enjoy the view...My hope is, once I'm healed up, rent a booth at one of the knife shows here in Michigan & display my whole collection for all the knife nuts. I went to many in my lifetime & loved seeing all the different knives that collectors would display. I'm blessed to have been able put together a collection I'm proud of - It's very diverse & inclusive, which was how I wanted it. My desk puts a smile on my face everytime I walk by it in my 3yr old shoes😂

[@2371Anita]

@@Warthogg1 knives before shoes! Keep it to yourself please, but mine are also 3 years old. And I only have 2 pairs of shoes! 🤫

[@Warthogg1]

hush is the word 🤣

[@shoresharp8349]

Hey bud nice piece, damn I should of ordered 1.

[@Warthogg1]

They also came in black synthetic and yellow synthetic handles for $44..but those were sold out & Shepherd hills Cutlery gives free shipping after $49 so the bone for $56 shipped to door is an alright deal.

[@norby0418]

Okay first it’s a 6318 CV. That appears to have very good F&F. So what’s weird?

[@Warthogg1]

It's actually a 6318PU CV which is clearly labeled in the title. The PU marking meaning Punch. What is weird? Most punch tools have a discernible edge along their face. This one does not. Seems to me, even if Case designed the punch for leather work, they may as well put a semi-sharp edge on it for woodworking too. Something that would only take 30 seconds in the production process that is purposely avoided seems weird to me Arlen.

[@Zen_Ali_123]

Don't know anything about it, just like it

[@Warthogg1]

Great answer Zen, Don't need to know everything about it to appreciate it's awesomeness. All in all, for going in blind on it... It's not flawless, but will be a nice carry.
