    Case XX Rio Grande Camp Knife And Knives Of Alaska Triple Combo Set

    Howdy guys!....been out of pocket for awhile back east visitng with family, but im B A C K thank GOD!.....its nice to go on vacation, but ya gotta get home to get some rest!

    anyway, heres a sweetie out of my collection. this is a NIB Case XX Rio Grande Camp Knife. genuine stag scales, around 14"+ overall length. not sure how many of these were made, but not many. i think they were only made in 1990 ( as this one is tang stamped) but not sure. this one comes as factory shipped with box and paperwork ( not pictured , batteries in my camera went dead). factory edge, never sharpened.. nice heavy leather sheath. this knife is very well balanced, and would be a great fighter, or as the name implies, a superb camp knife, or as i have it, a rare and hard to find collectible.









    i also have a knives of alaska triple combo set for trade. suregrip handles. comes with all three of the knives pictured. out of all the hunting/camping knives ive had, i love the knives of alaska knives the best. blades are nice and thick, and the tool steel they use in them is unbelievable. easy to sharpen and they stay razor sharp. i have these left over from when i had my gunshop, and i have a set just like this i use during deer and elk seasons (im a licensed outfitter). last year (with my set, not this one) we skinned and butchered 5 white tail deer and two elk without even as so much as having to touch the blades up. comes with knives of alaska's diamond sharpening steel. whipps an edge on these straight away ( the steel if so tough its a must that you use a diamond steel on them as a regular steel or stone wont cut the edge)





    looking to trade either of these beautiful pieces for one or more of the following

    buck 184
    Aitor Jungle King
    Aitor Desert King
    Tom Brown Tracker
    randall made
    auto buck 110 or 112
    buck 110 damascus/stag
    or ?????
    will also consider trades on other stuff. always looking for guns,gold jewelry,other quality knives,ect. hit me with whatchya got.

              from what i understand from speaking to case myself, they just recently started reproducing them, not in "mass quantities" but on a LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN ( found that out yesterday), and they said their last one will be produced sometime around the middle of july. also, they arent date coded as the older ones are, and the qualities not as good,the steels not as good of quality, and there only being distributed by smokey mountain knife works on special order by them.....its the same knife, but its NOT the same knife!...cheaper imitation of the original

                I meant no harm. You stated: "it blows me away i havet got one trade offer on these....hard to believe". Just trying to help. Most people don't understand the intrinsic value of something, when copies of the same are still produced, same or not the same.

                Your 1990 Case XX Rio Grande is a fine representation of what that knife should be. I hope someone recognizes that and offers you up a comperable trade.

                  oh, i didnt take it like that at all hawk, dont sweat it.

                  its like when schrade knives sold out to the chinese.yes, the knives still LOOK the same, but they are FAR FAR FAR from the same. now they are very cheaply made, the steel is crap, they wont hold an edge ( if when you buy one they actually HAVE an edge),fit and finish are garbage,ect. yep, they look the same, but qualitywise they dont even come CLOSE to the older schrade knives. i bought a couple when they first changed hands, and ended up sending them right back. one of them ( a sharpfinger) wasnt even sharpened, and had no edge whatsoever.
