I like a Buck 110 in the kitchen or camp cooking and Case has a similiar knife, the Mako that I would think that would be good.. Also, Case has a XX Changer, that comes with usually 3 different blades. You could go from a clip and then to a fillet knife blade based on your need, I think that would be great in the kitchen.

I very seldom use a slip joint for food and the only one that gets used is the 048 pattern. Works well as a fishing knife too.
I believe it has been listed by Case as a Truck Farmer's knife. I've always called it a Slimline Trapper even though it's a single blade. This is a good example of the very inexpensive delrin and stainless version.

I didn't know that.
Was it intended as a Case "melon tester" type of knife, or has Case produced a pattern called a melon tester?- GT

GT, Case made a melon tester, the 00 pattern, in the 50's and it was discontinued about 1973-74 according to Pfeiffer's book. Listed as a citrus-sausage-melon tester in a 1968 catalog. Case made a new melon tester recently but it is not showing as a 00 pattern. It looks the same but for some reason it doesn't have the 00 as a pattern number (usually listed as the last two digits).
The truck farmer reference for the single blade 048 pattern came from that same 1968 catalog (Pfeiffer), it was listed as a stockman's - truck farmer's - sportsman's.
Pfeiffer's book is an excellent reference for Case collectors.

I don't use one in the kitchen. I occasionally use one for food when I'm not in the kitchen. But if a person wanted, the 048 would do a good job for a lot of simple tasks.

Mister superior big mouth here actually uses a pocketknife on grapefruits and English muffins and coffee, now he thinks about it.

I use the same
pretty decent steak knife too
Used my Case Bose Wilfred Lock Back Hunter to prepare a red sauce today. Except for a chef's knife, it did the rest of the work, including the garlic. It's a very utilitarian design. For those concerned about germs, when done, I wahed it out with soapy water & dried with a paper towel.

I certainly is and as a light slim discrete carry it can go anywhere. It will tackle kitchen tasks like slicing Melon (so it is a tester...) or large citrus with ease. The as ground stainless/delrin version is a tremendous bargain and it really is a versatile picnic or fishing knife. All pockets should have one

Just wondering what a Truck Farmer is ? Never heard that term before.
It is a farmer who grows vegetables, mostly on a small scale. The term is not used much these days.
Thanks for that info, I find it interesting. And I can picture a knife like that being handy.

In my experience, it's a term used a lot on the East coast. A truck farmer makes his living on the farm, but trucks it into a city produce market. New Jersey used to be filled with truck farmers who supplied NY and Philadelphia. In the 60s some would also sell door to door when ladies stayed home with the kids. I grew up in Delaware and we had truck farmers in the city produce market and some would go door to door as well, especially the "egg man" who also sold chickens, hams and maple syrup.
When I was little I thought they farmed trucks. Just like I couldn't understand why the chemical plant where Dad work had all those engineers but no trains

I've never heard that either. I'm thinking there should have been a slash in between the two words.
Truck/Farmer knife. Farmers knife/ Truck knife.Just speculation...
