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

it's a very good quality knife . I'm very happy with it

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.

Quality knife with sheath strong sharp and looks good

I really want to love this knife. It is good quality for the price but the example I received is flawed. The handle and guard are tight so construction seems sturdy and quality. However, the blade's primary grind is non-symmetrical and the secondary grinds are very wide, showing that the primary grind is not thin enough when it reaches the edge. The clip point is not curved as shown in the photo but rather almost straight. Still functional, just not as pretty as advertised. The leather handle is for the most part very well-executed but again, the sanding and beveling near the guard is uneven and asymmetrical. The blade also has a prominent recurve which means it was sharpened poorly at the factory. For these cosmetic flaws I'll give the knife 4 stars. The sheath however is flawless.

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.

After opening, the handle was placed into neetsfoot oil for 8 hours. Blade will have to be sharpened. Which is usual for most knives like these. A true leather sheath. Oiled with neetsfoot. I bought it as a utility knife, which it is. Not a strange axe or wire cutter. For those tasks I use an axe or wire cutter. I bought the case knife because it is Case. 1095 steel etc. I wanted a leather sheath, not kydex. So far I am happy with it. But my expectation is for a knife. Not a wood chopping wire cutting miracle tool.

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.

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.

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
