It is perfection
5/5

To begin with, let me clarify the misconception everyone seems to have about "disformations. " The term "casting proof" results from mistaken attribution. There is a small "dot" at the base of the pommel that is a pin that holds the pommel to the blade in order to keep the grip intact. If you are in the military and have carried a KA-63, you are likely familiar with the pain It is known to BAR that the pin was left rough and exposed, so that in low light or complete darkness, you can tell which way the blade is facing. You will be able to tell whether it was smooth or rough by running your hand along the pommel first. Lastly, the knife It's an authentic 1211 model with a USA stamped blade the size of a nickel There are bars. My knife is sharper than I am, and will last longer than I do. The following tips should be noted For hiking, you can place it upside down on your camel back. You will need to drill out the 4 rivits holding the nylon legstrap to Lastly, lash it to your bag strap with shot line, and all you have to do is squeeze the handle down, and pull in a direction toward.

I received what I was promised
5/5

The old one (top) will be replaced by this one I read some negative reviews and thought I would respond, so here I am. The Ka-pole used here is a genuine Ka-pole, as you can see You'll be surprised. There is no USMC stamp on it whereas my old one was - instead It is stamped USA - however both are marked "Ka-" on the other side. I saw this at Bar Oleans, NY

This is NOT a Chinese knock-off There's no power. The original design has not changed since it was initially created, other than some minor changes over the years. There was also a pommel pin mentioned by a few reviewers. There's no denying its existence, since it's always existed. In addition to that, the tool came reasonably sharp, and the sheath is excellent. The software has not yet been tested in the field. When I have updated, I will let you know.

I got this knife after reading a few other reviews about it
5/5

I was a little skeptical after reading some other reviews, but I am glad I did. I received everything that I needed in a factory box with instructions and literature. The product is made in Olean, NY, for the first time. Her sheath is made of a durable Kydex material, and the knife locks into place with a solid click. The knife also has a strap that goes around the handle to help it grip. My original USN issue Kabar is almost exactly the same, and I have an original USN issue Kabar as well. One difference is that this one has a powder coated blade, and instead of working with leather, it has a rubbery grip. I think I will like the rubber grip better when it rains because leather gets slippery. Compared to a leather sheath, the Kydex sheath offers more carrying options. It is absolutely true that the original Kabar blade is made from high-carbon steel, and this one says the steel is 1095 carbon steel it is just powder coated to prevent rust. High carbon blades do not rust, they don't get a dark tint from the carbon, but simply turn dark with time. It makes no difference to how the blade performs when this dark tint is applied. In order to update this review, I will put the knife through a trial period to ensure it is top quality. If I find any changes, I will update it.

You can only find the best steel in America
5/5

I have always been a fan of knives/weapons, especially the aka- series I like the bar at the hotel but it is a bit expensive Anyway, I came across this blade after doing a lot of research and having extra money. It is the jewel in my collection, I must say. Upon opening the box and taking it in your hand, you can tell that this is a piece of history and quality. I'm impressed with the quality of this Creating a Kaleidoscope requires a high level of craftsmanship You can feel the quality of this bar once you hold it in your hand. Its feel, weight, and balance are pure luxury. The fact that this sword is made in the USA and includes an incredible military history makes it the preferred tool for those who consider themselves patriots.

The knife itself is great, but including a survival sheath makes it even better! The knife that I purchased for my boyfriend was the result of a lot of research
5/5

To find him a useful, solid, good camping or survival knife, I was seeking to find him a good one. I was not disappointed by this knife! There is a substantial weight to the bag, but it doesn't feel A perfect balance of weight and size makes it easy to hold. The grip fits well in the hand. Marine issue knives don't come along for no reason, and that is evident with this one. Having the hard plastic sheath that it came with makes it perfect for everyday carry. This gift was made even better by the custom-made survival sheath from KY Lake Leather. This knife was exactly what I was looking for as a gift for my boyfriend because of its sheath. I was very impressed with the quality of craftsmanship. The package has everything he needs to stay alive if he needs to for a few days. This knife and sheath are so great that I bought the Ka-Band as well K-Short Knife (shown below the Ka-Short -Bar full size) for myself and Ky Lake Leather will also make me a custom sheath. Look up Ky Lake Leather on Etsy if you want to buy this knife. This is an experience you will not regret.

Do your research, make your purchase, then be happy with it
5/5

The only thing I can say is nothing. It is made in the USA, while the sheath is made in Taiwan. Just to be clear, it is made in the USA and the sheath You can taste the full tang of it. The taper makes it possible to accommodate the blade in that type of handle. This knife is part of my collection, and I am proud of it. Out of the box, this is a very sharp knife.

The piece of history is amazing
4/5

The knife was important to me solely for its history, not because it is a cheap knife. I absolutely love this knife. It's really well made and This is a sharp razor. The grip is awesome. The knife is held securely in place by the sheath due to a thick spine. can only be pulled when you intend to pull it out so any weapon or tool on your person shouldn't come out unless you pull it deliberately. Having just received it, I cannot comment on durability or longevity, however, I am rating 4 stars because the grind is uneven and there is a chunk that looks like a chip on the pommel that is not smooth or coated. Whatever the case may be, I am fine with that. I can shave with my knife without a I consider my Gerber knives to have uneven grinding because they still work perfectly well, but I think it was an error that could have There is one thing about ka bars I do not like its not full tang, but I am going to use this knife exclusively as a knife so I am not concerned about it breaking or not performing as expected while being used as a tool. There is something wrong with this knife.
