4.0 out of 5 stars Small, but good., August 20, 2009

This review is from: KA-BAR Hunter Knives (Sports)

Just purchased this knife and am pleased so far.
Good points;
*full tang construction
*decent steel (AUS6, Japanese made steel)
*leather handle
*metal butt (good for hammering if needed)
*when worn on your belt, you do NOT look like Rambo
*light weight, good for hiking, camping....
*lifetime (limited) warranty to original seller

The handle is a bit small, I have a fairly large hand and my hand just about covers the handle, from the guard to the butt.
The blade is 4" long so if you are looking for a large knife, this isn't it. If you are looking for a well made knife that is not to big or to small, this IS it.
Note, the leather handle appeared to be a bit dried out, so I treated it with some leather conditioner and it looks and feels great.
The leather sheath is well made with riveted (think Levi jeans) construction.
For the price, you can't go wrong this with the 1232.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sharp knife, November 13, 2009

This review is from: KA-BAR Hunter Knives (Sports)

Pros:
It's a beautiful knife, I really dig the classic style
Very sharp out of the box (sharp enough to shave with)
Comfortable in the hand and on the hip
Nice leather sheath
AUS6 steel sharpens up to a very sharp edge and is easy to do so
Solid construction (baton tested through 3'' logs)

Cons:
AUS6 steel, does not have amazing edge retention, though, it's still pretty good (not a real big problem for me, literally five seconds on a stone will bring the razor edge back)

Overall:
Great sharp knife. It'll blow away any crap box-store 420 steel knife for the same price.

This is a great knife at a great price. Love the handle, love the sheath, love the blade. If the ad does not specify, this knife is made in Japan.
