I have 2 Case XX knives, one was my Dad's (I inherited it properly, oh yeah..) the other was my brothers that I appropriated (yes!). They're classic American hunting knives but and this is a big but, I have always felt that the steel they used in their blades for these knives was a bit too soft and they just don't hold an edge sharp very long. The K Bar knife is another knife altogether. Buck blades on their early american made knives will hold an edge well. There are other good classic American knives out there as well. Edgar probably uses that one to hack at his maple trees !
