Old post but I will give it a shot. Due to my extensive knive collecting experience ( a couple of months now) I asked a number of online place that I bought knives from what was the most purchased Case knives. Their response was mostly Trappers, Toothpick, sowbelly, copperlock, russlock, sodbuster all one bladed. They also mention stockman & whittler -3 blades and the 4 bladed congress.
Not scientific but 3 blades seem to be less popular than 1 bladed knives.
It would be nice to see manufacturing numbers for those pattern types.

WOW that's a tough Q - I like the Stockman - the 3 blades come in handy on the farm. But looking at my own collection/accumulation - I would guess maybe 15-20%.

i would think 15% since there are so many different patterns now...and the trapper is by far the biggest % seller since they use it for advertising so much
