How did you decide which Case was best for you?
I want to get one, and I like the Texas Jack, the Peanut, and the Mini Trapper.
I want it to be < 3" and CV steel and that's all the parameters I have. I just want it to be easy to carry no matter what the occasion. I keep looking through the online stores and one of these days I'm going to get one.
Which Case slip joint do you have and why do you like it?
I don't think the 090 pattern is available in CV but I could be wrong. I've owned several of these and still have three of them. It's a real nice medium stockman with sunken joints and round bolsters. Carries very well in the pocket and every one of them that I've owned has been exceptional. Case seems to do this pattern very well for some reason.
This is Pocket Worn Harvest Orange but these were made in many different handle options. No CV that I'm aware of though.

Mike, I don't think the 090's are rare or reserved for special additions or small runs.I am looking for the 090 versions of the Case medium stockman. I like the even end knives like the GEC 78.
Seems these 090s are a bit rare. I had no idea there were so many flavours of a medium stockman. Multiple mediums!
Is this a pattern reserved for special editions like the John Wayne Cancer society or only small runs?
I would snap up either of the two you posted.
I have one in my sights right now. Just waiting for a callback from the retailer sometime today. They told me on my phone inquiry Mondays are there big day.

Keep your eye out on eBay ... you'll find there are quite a few more variations of the 090 available. It's one of my all time dress pants fave's - small, slim but big enough to still be useful --->I am looking for the 090 versions of the Case medium stockman.

I think they still do make that pattern ---> http://www.casexx.com/Details/?ProductCode=22516&Patid=30The yeller delrin medium CV stockman with punch is my favourite Case.
I think it’s the 3318PU. I notice it’s been discontinued.
It has two useful and diverse blade shapes in a comfortable and elegant serpentine handle, with rounded bolsters. The punch is useful for poking, boring holes and prying.
I like how Case use stainless backsprings on their CV bladed models. The punch is also stainless.
The CV Jumbo Stockman in amber bone, and the Mini-trapper in Trusharp and amber bone also get a fair bit of use.
My favourite individual Case knife is this one, of course :
