Case 00079 Stockman Medium Folding Knife - 2.57"/1.88"/1.76" Chrome Vanadium Blades, Amber Bone Handle

The Case 00079 Stockman Medium folding knife is a three-blade classic that's been trusted by hunters, anglers, and outdoor workers for generations. This mid-size stockman delivers practical cutting geometry with a clip blade, sheepsfoot blade, and pen blade—each sized to handle different jobs around camp or in the field. The amber bone handle gives it that timeless look and feel that Case is known for, while the chrome vanadium steel blades hold an edge well enough for everyday use and abuse without demanding constant honing.

Stockman patterns are purpose-built for real work. The primary clip blade handles general cutting tasks; the sheepsfoot is safer for detail work and whittling where you don't want a sharp point; the pen blade tackles smaller jobs. With blades measuring 2.57", 1.88", and 1.76", this medium size hits the sweet spot between capacity and pocket-ability. It's the knife you grab when you need dependable steel and proven design, not marketing hype.

Whether you're a backcountry hunter, an angler who spends time on the water, or someone who just appreciates a well-made folding knife in your pocket or pack, the Case 00079 is built to work. The jigged amber bone handle offers genuine grip and character, and chrome vanadium steel is forgiving—it's not exotic, but it's reliable. This is the kind of knife that lasts decades if you treat it right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stockman folding knife used for?

A stockman is a multi-blade design that covers a range of cutting tasks. The clip blade is your main workhorse for general cutting; the sheepsfoot blade is safer for detail work and whittling where you don't want a sharp point; and the pen blade handles smaller, precise jobs. It's an old pattern that's proven itself in hunting camps, fishing trips, and everyday carry for over a century.

Is the Case 00079 a good hunting or fishing knife?

Yes—the stockman pattern is well-suited to field dressing, camp cooking, and general hunting and fishing tasks. The multiple blade sizes let you handle different jobs without swapping knives, and the chrome vanadium steel is durable and easy to maintain in the field.

What's the difference between this medium stockman and other Case sizes?

Case makes stockman knives in several sizes. The medium 00079 offers a balance between cutting capacity and packability—larger than a small frame but more pocketable than a large stockman. It's the size most people find works best for general outdoor use.

Will the amber bone handle hold up to outdoor use?

Jigged amber bone has been Case's signature handle material for decades. It's tough, provides genuine grip, and has character that synthetic materials don't match. Like any natural material, it benefits from occasional oiling and reasonable care, but it's built to last a lifetime of use.
