Case is one of the last of the great American knife makers to actually manufacture their knives in the U.S. The higher end Buck Knives fixed-blade hunters are made in Idaho, some of their knives are made in China and then the parts shipped back to the U.S. for assembly and finishing. Thanks for the great review on the X-CHANGER like knife from Case... there is great utility in swap-able blades and they make theirs look sweet like candy.
Had one of these about 30 years. Rosewood handles and plain leather sheath. Excellent knife with a good solid feel. Sadly its an illegal carry in the UK now.
Obviously you need to tighten up the handle a bit! It shouldn't be THAT easy to get the blade into the handle. That's why your blade rattles! Simply put the cover of a hard cover book on it, and tap it with a nice heavy hammer a couple times! Don't whack it! Just tap! The handle will tighten up and your installed blade won't rattle! Also - The saw is a BONE saw, not a wood saw! Why does EVERY knife reviewer always get that wrong!
I have had one of these for quite a few years. I use one of the blades for work and another just to keep sharp. The steel isn't the best but it's a great knife and I use the different blades!
Stainless steel a form of surgical steel similar to Swiss army knife which is fine because it's quick to resharpen and can be stropped back up In field easily and won't rust easily and can take a razor edge
Disagree. SBRE is often cool and humorous but I can't abide that particular low class reflex microabusive cliche masquerading as humor. I'll ignore it this time but really... no.
One similar joke that has stuck with me over the years was for a pen with some ridges. Without modifying his intonation or pace, SBRE added, "...for her pleasure."
Now, if you decide to try a fixed blade knife, given your predilection for finger grooves and your location, you should try a Bark River Canadian Special. A DHRussell Canadian belt knife is not very intimidating, but is also quite handy. (I have no use for folding knives when I am out of doors - having broken some lock back knives when using them hard (no batoning, just hard core wood carving, and other bushcraft tasks))

Still have that same knife. (Rose wood)

If you ground a flat on the pin of a Hammerhead, through the opening of the tang inside the handle, boom. You would have a CaseXX Changer handle.

Awesome to see the occasional knife review among your excellent pen reviews! Keep em coming Dr. Brown.
Awesome video as always! Thank you very much!
Interesting name, XX-Changer. Sport fencing company Leon Paul make the X-Change fencing mask, which has interchangeable bibs.
Im a big fan of USA made bucks and Helle knives.Moras are very good also.Thanks for the cutting edge examination.
Pens, knifes, watches I'm down
Excellent video. I really enjoy my Buck 112 Ranger, but I have to say that I'm digging the changeable blades on this one.

Nice review of a great knife.
Never quite imagined hearing a "that's what she said" joke in one of your videos. Thumbs up for keeping it cool!

That was quite magnanimous of you to ignore it, and I'm sure everyone here appreciates your restraint. 🙄
He has used that line before watch more videos xx

Cutting paper will kill the edge worse than wood.
So what type of edge is on the blades; hopefully not a hollow grind.
Cool knife,

Fatality!
I was waiting for someone to notice :-)
You have vegan friends? Really?
Why on earth would a vegan have a hunting knife?
Oh jeez!! Really! Are you making a meme on people who make knife reviews? You look out of your element.
Your point being?
