Review: Great knife, if you need a sheath knife get this one. - This is without a doubt one of the best edged weapons you can buy. This is not a tool or a toy, this knife is a weapon and it has one purpose. Pay no attention to people banging on it with hammers in youtube videos. Ones does not split logs with a combat knife. This is the modernized version of the original, combat proven classic. It also doesn't hurt that it's American made. As others have said, Kraton does have an odd feel at first, but it has serious advantages. The handle has an excellent feel to as far as grip ability. It almost feels like it sticks to your hand, which is a darned good thing in a situation where you would draw this weapon. Going through basic drills I didn't have any feeling of loss of grip due to sweat buildup. I very much like the way the grip is weighted, puts the balance point a little below the guard. The blade was quite sharp right out of the box. Good, hard steel with an excellent finish. For most folks, it needs next to no attention from that point. For a sharpness snob like me, I gave it a little time on a velvet stone, of the kind used for razors a long time ago. It really doesn't need any extra sharpening. The sheath is wonderful! Kydex sheaths from custom places cost more than what I paid for this knife with this sheath. It's almost like you got it for free. It retains the blade well and has an additional nylon strap w/ a steel button for further retention. The sheath is made in such a way as to give you dozens of options for hanging it from your gear. There are slots along the outer edge of the sheath that allows for rigging and tying in to your carrying system. Everything from sling to inverted to companion rigging is possible with this sheath. Cut in some nylon webbing and you can rig the darned thing to anything. Nothing comes close for the price. Not for the knife and especially not the knife and sheath as a set. This is a no-brainer purchase.
Review: Amazing knife. I feel like a samurai warrior - First things first, this knife is absolutely amazing. However I did have a few questions about this knife before I ordered it! and those questions are.... The Handle - I was concerned about the Kraton handle before I ordered. I went to Bass Pro Shops and touched, felt, handled all the Ka-Bars I could find. I liked the leather handles on the Marine and Army commemorative knives, however I don't like how leather wears over time. My dad has knives that are over 30 yrs old and the handles no longer exist, and I don't know about you but I want to buy a knife once. I was also concerned about the grip, I wanted something that had a solid feel and wouldn't slip. I was surprised when felt the Kraton handle for the first time. It had a better grip compared to the leather. Very slip resistant. The butt of the knife was very solid as well, can be used as a hammer. I cant say much about the weathering issue because I haven't had the thing for 30 years, but I will update when the time comes. The Blade - Well what can I say, the blade is 1095 carbon steel, very hard. I find it a little difficult to sharpen but that is to be expected from a knife like this. I prefer no serrations as well (even harder to sharpen). I dont like the look of serrations and have never honestly used them, so whats the point. The blade looks mean as well, very intimidating. Its impossible to not be satisfied with the blade. The Sheath - This is by far the best feature of this knife. The sheath is a hard plastic, very tough. I LOVE the no slip feature of the case!!! When the knife is secure in the case its very hard to get out unless you firmly grasp the handle. In other words, it wont fall out of the case. This feature is important if you do a lot of hiking deep in the woods. The last thing you want is your knife to fall out of the sheath when your bending over to lay a deposit with nature. Also has lots of holes for straps. There you have it. This knife can anything you want in the woods. I love this knife like my own son, if I had a son. Ka-Bar lives up to the name.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the knife in the sheath fit into a pants pocket? (casual everyday pants)**
A: It's an 11.5 " razor sharp survival knife bud, it's not made to carry in your pocket. Buy a $20 folding knife on amazon if that's what you're looking for.

**Q: how long is the blade and how long is the whole knife?**
A: Blade length = 7"Overall =  11-3/4"Came in great shape. Shaving sharp

**Q: is the sheath molle capable?**
A: You may need to use Malice Clips to fully secure the sheath to the MOLLE webbing.   I tried it with para-cord and it worked ok, but Malice Clips weave into the webbing and have holes spaced appropriately for the webbing and the KYDEX KA-BAR Fighting Knife sheath.

**Q: The description says that the knife is imported, i thought ka-bar was all made in the usa. is this product made in the usa?**
A: The knife is made in the USA...The sheath system is made in Taiwan...That's why it says BOTH "Imported" and "Made in USA"...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TACTICLE KNIFE
*by F***E on March 12, 2015*

I am very particular about my tacticle equipment. I place life and death applications to everything I buy and put high levels stress on items to be assured failure is avoided when I really need it. In particular I've read many reviews on this knife. The picture doesnt serve justice to the quality of this knife. The knife I received is an authentic. First the knife. It has a sturdy handle with excellent grip. I dont like the ribbed grips because they dont always fit every hand size. The grooved out handle provides solid hold in all my tasks thus far. I have split small pieces of wood and it never failed to cut anything I would expect any knife to do. It has a sharp edge but only because I sharpen al my knives daily it didnt bother me sharpen it the day after I received it. I feel this a multi use knife that includes cutting cord and removing a hide from a deer. It has an awesome contour from the base of the knife to the tip. This knife would with no doubt be used as a self defense weapon if you were an avid knife handler. Now the shealth. Although mine had a couple small scratches on the backside, that is not a concern of mine since its a knife I use daily. If someone wants a scratch free sheath buy the knife as a collector piece and keep it under a glass protected case to only look at. This sheath is wicked. I try to test my equipment to just under the point of breakage before I need it to be reliable in a high stress situation. The sheath has holes placed in it along the side. I managed to tie 25ft of paracord on the sheath and pulled it tight as f*^$! If this was a cheap quality I would have undoubtedly cracked it. I ran 5 miles with the knife secured with the snap and would find it very difficult to loose the knife. And finally the strap can be secured to Molle packs. I dont usually take this much time to write a review but I did because of the quality and time it took to make such a fine product. Thanks And the knife came before they said it would from amazon
