KABAR Short Black Plain Edge Knife,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KABAR Short Black Plain Edge Knife (Misc.)
I purchased this knife with field dressing wild game in mind because of the practicality of the 5 ¼ inch blade. I was filled with mixed emotions when I received the knife. The blade is quite impressive, well designed, and perfectly crafted. But, the knife is made visually out of balance by the inordinately tiny handle. The handle is of small circumference; but worse, the handle is about a full ¼ inch too short. In addition, the handle cap is quite small, too. I found the glass-filled nylon sheath more durable and well made than expected. In summary, the blade is superior; but overall, I would not buy another because the handle is made for a child or female. The handle of this knife remains simply too small to fit comfortably in the hand of an adult male. If this knife had been made with a handle akin to the old U.S. Navy Mark I RH Pal 35 ... then it would have been absolutely perfect.

KABAR 5" Knife,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KABAR Short Black Plain Edge Knife (Misc.)
I bought this for use as a utility knife while hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping, not as a defensive weapon. Glock makes a much better tool for that task. The knife is solidly constructed as is the Kydex sheath. The only drawbacks I found were the nylon retaining straps on the sheath were overly tight fitting initially and the blade's sharpness out of the box left a bit to be desired. Leaving the straps fastened with the knife sheathed for a day or so and a few minutes touch-up with a diamond steel solved both minor details easily. I would purchase this knife again without hesitation.

Another Ka-bar!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KA-BAR 2-1256 Short Ka-Bar Black, Leather Sheath, 5.25 in., Plain
I have owned many knives in my life. Buck, Gerber, Winchester; none compare to this knife in durability and its' ability to hold an edge. I purchased one almost four years ago and it has never given me any trouble. I am now retiring that knife to its' original leather sheath for decoration considering I bought the Identical knife not more than a week ago. This knife is amazing at holding and edge. It takes a LOT to dull it down. It's handles are very solid and help to maintain grip. There were many times when I thought this knife would bend, break, ect. but this knife has always been at the top of its class. IF I WAS ABLE TO GIVE IT ANY MORE THAT 5 STARS, I CERTAINLY WOULD. My advice is to buy the Kydex Sheath, almost as tough as the knife itself!
