CA385 Case Cutlery Hunter Knife Polished Leather Handle

Despite the reasonable price, the quality is just outstanding! The photo image won't do justice and you have to take it in your hand and let the knife do all the talk. It's a knife that you enjoy with your five senses and now I know why more than 19,000 people world-wide call themselves avid collectors of Case by joining the Case Collectors' Club! Personally, I like big knives but being a small man (approx. 5'6ft and 140lb), this is my ideal knife for outdoor, house chores as well as self-defense, if I must, but as I received the package today and opened the box, I had the second thoughts; this knife is just too good and beautiful to be used in the woods! So I've decided to let it sit in my desk and use it as my personal letter opener. It is the sheer American Beauty, very traditional in construction and old-fashioned in design, and it's the kind of knife that grandpa carries around his belt and later passes down to his grandchildren. The beautifully mirror-polished stainless steel blade is razor-sharp right out of the box, and the fragrance of the stacked leather handle is absolutely irresistible! Yes, we live in the world in which conformity to change and new technology is almost compulsory, but Case stands as a reminder that some things are never subject to change because they are the timeless values that we all cherish, and thus never fade away.

This is - without question - the finest knife I've ever owned. It's sharp as a razor, finely finished, and strong as an axe. Well done sirs - made in America with pride.
