Case USMC Fixed Blade 18

Honestly, at first glance out of the box it looked a bit rough round the edges! Benefits from a wipe with some oil, could be it’s been in the box a while. The blade definitely needs a sharpen, but if it’s true too it’s military roots this is probably standard. Don’t own a Ka Bar so can’t do any comparisons , in line with other reviews I do like the handle though, plenty of hand space . Definitely warming to it, has that forces appeal if you like that sort of thing. Arrived quickly too thanks.

I purchased this knife many years ago from HH. I brought it on the basis that Case had produced the famous V42 stiletto. It is very well made, and is manufactured in the U.S.A. l would say that it is at least as good as the USMC issue Ka-bar. It comes with a nicely tooled leather sheath, and it comes in an illustrated presentation box. Well worth the money.

very nice high quality knife. a very comfortable handle, a sharp and robust blade, and a very good quality case, much better than those of the Ka-Bar !! maximum score for the knife, as well as for the ultra fast shipping !

Sharpen the back swedge a little more and then you will be ready to take on Iwo Jima... Lovely Marine fighting knife.

Usual great purchase experience from Heinnie - arrived quickly, no problems. I nice addition to the collection. I really like the quality of the handle, blade finish and the edge. A good workhorse with an historic feel to it.

I wasn't sure about this until i searched the web on CASE xx its a brilliant knife , I've not used it in the field, not as shape as my KA-BAR out the box but its got quality, the box it came in looks great the iwo jima flag and USMC symbol. The leather sheath second to none , dare i say it , better than my 2 Ka-Bar ones the embossed USMC badge and logo is outstanding, the hilt is deep stamped both sides not seen in the pictures , also comes with some info on history which was a nice touch , this one is going on display i have other work horses for outside , so glad i bought it and as aalways H&H outstanding company
