Case Military 00334 USMC Knife with Fixed 1095 Carbon Blade Genuine Leather Sheath Genuine Leather Handle,Brown USMC

Historical CASE high quality construction. Have owned their blades in the past and never dissatisfied. Leather grips come in a "raw" uncolored condition that will darken with use, but look mostly dirty. I dyed them dark brown as many WW2 specimens are. Also treated the sheath with several applications of neatsfoot oil to darken it. Came out looking outstanding.

The Fit and Finish are great. the sheath is as well made and heavy duty. Case XX has truly kept the Old Time quality alive in this knife. The finish on blade is consistant . The stacked Leather Handle is well exacuted and the finish even. The Case version of the M 1219C came sharp and did not need sharpening.

Quality knife with sheath strong sharp and looks good

Real deal, will be buying more. I need someone to make me a custom sheath though cause I wanna carry it more often, and the factory sheath isn't really great for everyday carry. I would literally make this part of my edc.

The Case USMC knife appealed to me, both in terms of looks and advertised adherence to original specs. I really like the construction of the knife and the sheath. I took off one star because the knife came from Case unacceptably dull! There was a definite factory grind, nice and even, but dull as a butter knife. Likewise the touted swedge, which differentiates this knife from the Ka-Bar, was equally dull. I had the knife professionally sharpened, wicked sharp now, as it should have been from Case.

Given as a gift, and honestly was a great buy for the price! My husband loves Case knives and gifting them to friends and family, so he felt it would only be appropriate also give as a functional but solidly reliable gift to a fellow Marine of his.

Words can't describe how opening this package made me feel! I'm an 8 year combat Marine Corps veteran with 4 deployments as a machine gunner. The smell, the feel and the nostalgia of not only opening but holding this kbar in my hand brought me back to, well, let's just say I took a trip down memory lane! If you don't have one it's because you need one! And if "youthink" you don't need one, well, then you don't know! This is American craftsmanship at its finest!!!

Good quality American made. Will last a lifetime. Easily sharpened to razor sharp. Holds edge well. Carbon steel makes a great survival knife.

Wer sich für ein klassisches KA-BAR interessiert, sollte zum Case XX USMC greifen. Alles in Allem, ist die Qualität besser und deutlicher an den Original Modellen, aus der Vietnam oder WWII Ära. Das liegt zuerst einmal, an der korrekten Zink-Phosphat Beschichtung, an der kleinen Schrift und am unbehandelten Leder des Griffes. auch die dünnere Endkappe ist durch einen Stift gesichert, wie bei den Originalen. Dickere Endkappen sind auch Original, so wie sie KA-Bar verwendet, doch waren diese damals nicht durch einen Stift gesichert, sondern entweder aufgeschraubt oder vernietet. Die Lederscheide ist robust und gut, entspricht jedoch im Detail nicht ganz den Originalen. Diese hatten entweder 9 Nieten oder die Nähte waren mit Klammern gesichert. Schriftprägungen, gab es nicht. Der Griff hat keine Plasik-Spacer und die Rillen sind nicht schwarz lackiert, ganz so, wie bei den Originalen.

Hatte mein erstes Messer von dieser Marke seit über 45 Jahre, und bei unserem letzten Dez-Januar Urlaub in Frankreich leider Verloren, nun habe ich ein neues und ich bin sehr zufrieden und hoffe dass es genau so lange hält .ore
