Case Ridgeback Fixed Blade

[melt]

I would like to hear some feedback about the Case Ridgeback Zytel handled fixed blade knives. Also, what is the length of the blade edge? I could not find blade length on Case's website. Thanks. http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/e...t=&Mode=Brand&Brand=23&PriceStart=&SKU=CA1407

If you're wondering about the steel - Case currently uses 420 HC in its TruSharp Surgical Steel blades.

Thanks for the responses. Anyone else have any information or opinions? I'm looking for a $30.00 (or so) lightweight US made fixed blade with a good sheath to carry on my belt while hiking. I'll have a larger fixed blade in my backpack.
