Case knives are rarely sharp out of the box. They run it along a stone once on each side and that's it. It usually comes with a burr on the edge. Run it a few times on a ceramic rod, then strop it and you'll be good to go. I do this, as well as clean out gunk with every Case knife I purchase. Good luck!
Thank you for the pointers. I did find a burr after minor sharpening and stroping the blade has a nice edge. I was even able to shave with the blade after minor care.
I’ve been wanting to pick one up but I’ve seen alot of videos explaining that the blade isn’t center all the way but great video!
Thank you Sir, I tried to be impartial

Its not antler or stag its bone from cow horn that is burnt and jigged hints the name peach seed amber jigged bone.
I think you are correct, I made a mistake, it does feel similar to antler handles on other case knives, thank you
Yep you can tell its stag by the first number in the model number being 5 and a stag handle usually isnt even.
@@backwoodsboy73-mx6wi interesting, thank you
It’s actually shin bone from cattle
@@backwoodsboy73-mx6wiit's stag according to the number 5, you're correct
