KA1214-BRK USA Fighting Knife, Steel

It is a Kabar knife!

I used it in Nam many years ago and now this is the modern day Ka-Bar! Love the new sheath and the traditional blade design, it works!!

Well made survival knife. It feels great in your hand and is good to go right out of the box. I highly recommend this knife to anyone who is looking for a high quality, affordable American made knife.

All around simple but highly functional knife. The only one you will ever need! No wonder its been around for years!

This is a classic, American made knife and everything about it is wonderful. It literally comes razor sharp and ready for whatever you may need it for. Real easy to sharpen and holds the edge real well. Just remember to oil lightly after you rinse or wash to prevent rust, and you shouldnt have any problems. This steel WILL rust if you dont oil and maintain regularly. This is my second one, I lost the first one, and its a must have for any knife lovers collection!!!

This K-Bar is one of the best knives I own! Had to resharpen to my specs but over all a SEXY item! Sheath is a PLUS! Thanks!!!

I got the knife and from the begining I could see that it was a good quality, the handle is very confortable and strong on the bottom to even use it as a hammer. the blade is very sharp from the box, the sheath is the plastic one which is a good looking one, I would rather have a leather one but I did read about the low quality of it. I took it out on the field and had no problem cutting one inch thick branches with two hits.

The legend stands as it should. If you are a knife lover/collector, this is the one knife you have to place in your collection. Its a great tool as well as an ultimate fighter. 5 STARS +

this knife has everything! a very strong and very sharp blade, and a great holster that can be attached in a variety of ways to a variety of things. the grip isnt the greatest, but i added some hockey tape and its good to go!

Im going to sell this knife, because it just isnt worth the price. This knife is only expensive due to name recognition. Its not even the knufe brand they supply to the military. Military Ka-Bars are made by OKC (model 498 I think), & theyre superior in tang construction (although still not great). A brief history. Ka-Bars were originally made by Camillus. When Camillus went out of business (in 2007 I think), a new company bought the rights to the Ka-Bar name. The old Camillus versions were better. The current Camillus company is not the old Camillus, & their budget based knives are inferior. Dont get me wrong, this Ka-Bar isnt a bad knife. However, the balance is all wrong to be a good fighting knife. The Kraton rubbery handle gets slippery when wet, the stick tang construction is very weak compared to less expensive competitors, & the spine isnt thick enough. I will say that it came shaving sharp, & the 1095 Cro-Van steel is excellent. All that said, there are superior knives for nearly half the price. The Cold Steel Leatherneck SF is far superior for about $50. If you want a Ka-Bar, spend the money for one of the Becker models. Those are actually worth the money. This knife isnt. I wish I could return it, but the window closed.
