KA1214-BRK USA Fighting Knife, Steel

Ive never met a kabar I didnt like. ;)

Awesome blade. Great price.

I am in the process of collecting combat knives and I have collected a Fairborn (very disappointed), several trench knives and this one the Ka-Bar with serrated blade. This knife has a long history especially with the US Marines in WWII. It was standard issue with a leather handle. The Ka-Bar was a all purpose knife, one to use in combat, others to cook with, break up hard dirt, chop down small wood limbs for fires and many other things. The reason is has longevity is that has a comparatively heavy blade which is impossible to break under normal situations. Other combat knives like the Fairborn can be used only for one thing, combat, trench knives usually have a metal protection for your knuckles that gives you the ability to punch with a brass knuckle type blow. But its other utility is pretty limited. The other thing you need to look at is not just the knife but the scabbard. The scabbard is probably the most important part of the knife since it protects the blade and your body from being cut. This scabbard provides carrying opportunities other than carrying on your belt. You can carry it on your MOLE vest, web belt,etc., by using the available loop cutouts on the scabbard. You can carry it on your lower leg by using small straps on the two loop openings; the options are endless. So here is my suggestion: dont consider any knife unless you can see the scabbard that comes with it.

The best, the original, the one and only. Much better than the immitations. Love the kydex sheath and the handle has a nice tackiness for grip. VERY satisfied with dealer as well.

It is thick, heavy, sharp for the most part. It fits well in the hand, and it is obvious why it is so popular

Well built knife that is classic and iconic. Cuts, chops and hammers good. The only down side is the sheath, it’s solid but does not have any adjustments capability for the belt loop. The “locking mechanism” is very stiff and you can’t draw it quickly IMO. If there was a quick release feature, like a button mechanism, it would be really nice.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he hasnt taken it off his belt since he got it.

What an awesome knife. I was skeptical as to the scabbard because of familiarity with the leather versus the hard plastic. Hands down, the hard, plastic is the way to go. This knife is by far one of the sharpest and most durable I have ever encountered. I highly recommend it and am seriously considering getting another.

When it arrived the serrations were not sharp and rounded off. Thankfully Ka-bar was very helpful. If you have an issue go through them. I was able to switch mine out in the span of a week

Love this knife. I keep it next to my pillow so I can sleep better.
