Case Ridgeback Hunter with Rosewood handle

Post by The backwoodzman »

Hello all, and thank you for the ad again. I haven’t been on here in a long while, but I guess they delete your account when that happens. No worries, just happy to be back on again. I been looking for a hunting knife better suited for my needs and wants. I happens across this one Friday. What are your thoughts on this one. So far, I really like it.
Again thank you for the ad.

Welcome back The backwoodzman
Never spotted a Case Fixed blade like that before, it's got a real Canadian look about it.
And actually without having it in hand it sure looks the goods. Nice big belly for skinning and the jimping at the front of the blade is an interesting touch meaning it could be used for finer skinning tasks by gripping the blade right up there at the business end.

I Like it!

I have never handled one, but have always thought it is quite a handsome knife, and quite reasonably priced as well.

These knives come in three blade shapes - the one shown, one more like a clip style, and a curved one like skinning knife. Also, laminated wood handles or black or camo zytel. Leather or nylon sheath, according to price. Seems like a good basic design with minimum weight.

Near as I can tell, it is a 2010 production, and it was never carried or sharpened. I sharpened it and rubbed the leather sheath down with some mink oil. I have already started carrying it. It is light, and I think it will be better than the other case knife I had been carrying. I wish it was the CV steel instead of stainless.

I might be confused but I thought that the full complement of Xs and dots meant year 2000 and they subtracted one each year thereafter through 2009? Or is it 2010 and then subtracting through 2019? By the way, I like that knife!

2000 started with •x•x•
2010 started with x•x•x
If I read that right anyway. They did subtract •’s x’s every year.
I was thinking 7 year old knife that looks brand new. Would be even cooler if it was 17 years old looking that good. Lol
