  - The Marines stopped issuing these to us a long time ago, I never understood the reason why, until I went to use my KA-Bar in Iraq, I attempted to pry open a window shutter, and bent the tip I did manage to get the shutters open using my M-7 Bayonet. My Father's KA-Bar (Pre Vietnam Era issued to him, in 1959) had a much heavy blade and tang and is much more durable, than my more modern Ka-Bar. The Newer Ka-Bars just don't hold up, You can't Baton wood in a survival situation it will damage the blade and tang. So not much good for Survival situations, all these newer ones seem to be good for is combat against an enemy at close range. Wish it wasn't so, but that has been my experience with the 3 Ka-Bar knives that I own.

  - Amazing knife, honestly my favorite. Great steel, great sheath, great knife. It comes shaving sharp right out the box. I've got to tell you to watch this knife because if you leave it unattended I guarantee you, you'll lose it

  - The knife is the greatest knife I have. This knife keeps me coming back to this brand. However, the sheath looks good, but is poor quality. The sheath, unlike the knife, is made is a foreign country. Also, I have had to redo the stitching on the sheath and the knife does not go in without scratching the sheath.
