The Case 55232 Medium Stockman delivers three essential blade configurations in a traditional slip-joint design that's built for everyday carry reliability. This mahogany bone-handled folder combines Case's century-plus craftsmanship with practical blade geometry for versatile cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The Medium Stockman pattern features three distinct blade profiles - clip point, spey, and sheepsfoot - each optimized for specific cutting applications. Unlike single-blade folders, this configuration eliminates the need to carry multiple tools while maintaining a compact 3.625-inch closed length. The mahogany bone scales develop a rich patina over time, creating a unique appearance that improves grip texture through regular use.
Key Features
- Three-blade stockman pattern with clip point, spey, and sheepsfoot configurations

Field performance centers on the versatility of the three-blade system. The clip point handles precision cutting and piercing tasks, while the spey blade excels at skinning and detailed work. The sheepsfoot provides a safe cutting edge for cardboard, rope, and general utility tasks. The chrome vanadium steel holds a working edge through extended use while remaining easy to sharpen with standard whetstones.
