Trusted companion. Mar 26, 2005
By Jason K. Wright
"1LT Wright"
Although perhaps not as handy as one of the multi-tools, this knife inspires user confidence. The blade is thick and the steel is incredibly hard.
For example, I was unsatisfied with the sharpening done at the factory. The edge is a little rough out of the box. I made the mistake of trying to smooth the edge using a whetstone. After about a half hour, the blade still looked the same as it did when I started. Man, that's hard steel! Finally, I took it to the guy who runs the knife shop at the Ft. Bragg mini-mart, and he put a beautifully smooth and very sharp edge on it using a table grinder, for only $1.
Unlike a lot of other fighting-style knives, the tang of the blade comes all the way through the handle, making it even stronger. Some people might say I ruined it by having it sharpened, but I don't care. I'm not a collector, I'm a user.

KA BAR Excellence Mar 17, 2009
By Colonel Doom
This KA-Bar feels right. Its super hard material should withstand severe use in survival ops. The blade is thick and sturdy and the weight makes it strong. The seven inch length is excellent for most activities.
Like the LT, I suggest sharpening before serious use. This is a weapon for use, not display.

 Ka-Bar US Army Knife May 17, 2010
By D C
I ordered two of these knives and they both were shipped very fast (about 3 days from when I ordered them). However the quality control on these is not great. One knife came in perfect condition, the other knife had a scratch on the blade. The leather handle was not smooth and shiny like the other one, had an odd odor, and was kind of rough. This left me to believe this particular knife had been used. I ordered both of these knives new. So it seems it is hit and miss with this product. Good value for the money though. I didn't bother with sending that one knife back for a refund or replacement because I didn't want to bother with shipping.

A Legend, and still Made in the USA Feb 16, 2012
By J. Davis
Built like a tank right here in the USA. Every knife collection should have at least one Ka-Bar Fighting Knife. I can't say anything about it that hasn't already been said.
The sheath is made in Mexico but fits the knife well, especially once it has been drawn and resheathed several times to work the leather in.
