Ka-Bar knife

[wtfd661]

Just got my new Ka-Bar knife in the mail. A USMC edition, with a serrated edge, and a hard sheath. I've always wanted one so I decided my wife could buy me one for my birthday . I will probably have to get a leather sheath for it later (kinda of regretting ordering the hard sheath). Goes great with my M1 Garand. I think for Christmas, she may have to get me a Colt WW1 replica 1911 .

That's what I'm wanting to get is the one with the USMC logo on the leather sheath. I found one nearby for a decent price and will try to get it soon.

After a lot of thinking back and forth I bought a Kabar back in 2003 before a deployment. I didn't want the USMC on my knife because I was Army Reserves and thought I'd catch heck from it from the other guys. I justified it because at one time the Army was issued that knife also. It's got a great track record and I'm thinking about buying another one.

The one I bought was made with D2 steel. It's a you-know-what to sharpen that steel, but it's a great tough knife that I beat the crap out of just because I was bored in many cases.

Another sheath option is the "Eagle" nylon sheath I think it's called. Mine came with that sheath and it has an accessory pouch on it. I put my gerber multitool in that pouch and that combination was a very handy setup to have. I like sheaths that have those pouches on them for hunting also.

I've seen the Army labeled Kabars. I especially like how Kabar makes commemorative knives and some day I'm going to buy one of the Operation Iraqi Freedom Kabars and put it in a case with the one I had there. Those knives just have a lot of history to them.

Sorry I haven't taken any yet, but will have to remedy that cause I also bought myself a nice brand new Glock 30 friday. Man, it's been a GREAT birthday

I have been giving the Kabar a hard look myself lately. They look to be really nice knives.

 

[wtfd661]

I really like mine, the reason I decided to go with the KaBar is I figured if it was good enough for our soldiers in WWII then it's way good enough for me

Just couldn't resist, but the Kabars always were and are made in my hometown... Olean, NY!

If you don't want to look like Rambo, you could always get the 3/4 size ones, they're awesome too.

My dad bought one of those by accident. He lost all man pride when my wife told him it looked cute. They are good knives though.

I've had both, pretty sure the big one is still in the wall somewhere...yep

I've got several. Great knives.

My sister bought a Volkswagon Beetle when she was in high school 20 years ago. I found an OLD kabar under the seat. Looked WWII vintage. I cleaned it up and gave it to my dad, who used it as a hunting knife and lost it some years ago. When I see what the old ones in good shape are going for now, I feel like crying.

Can't go wrong with a Ka-Bar. I have one in my B.O.B.. The one tool that you will need.
