5.0 out of 5 stars Necessity for knife enthusiasts, July 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ka-Bar 2-1212-3 Black Fighting Knife (Sports)
The 7 inch clip point Kabar has been the down and dirty standard for all fighting knives and survival knives since World War II and will be around for a long time. It is time tested and has evolved in the past 70 years to meet the needs of the modern world.

Pros:
Price/value
Factory sharp
Hard 1095 "50100 B" Cromium-Vanadium carbon steel blade
Circular serrations (extremely hard to sharpen;however, Kabar's unique serrations outperform any pointed tooth serrations)
Kraton G handle gives comfort but is still durable and completely waterproof
Exposed tang at the bottom that is useful for hammering
Balanced
Durable

Cons:
Extremely vulnerable to rust! Carbon steel is tougher than stainless steel, but it rusts much more easily.
The steel has a useless coating of what looks to be black oxide when it needs to have an actual protective coating of another metal compound such as TiNi to protect the volatile steel from corrosion instead of a pointless coloring chemical
Leather sheath is total garbage and made in mexico, I only use it when I don't wanna look like a badass

The Kabar clip point is the staple of the military and survivalists all over america and is a very nice general purpose knife that will work in most situations. DO NOT buy this Kabar if you don't plan on buying the 15 dollar Glass filled nylon sheath with the knife, it is an absolute necessity! The Kabar is definitely my favorite knife company and knife model for carbon steel blades, and is a top general purpose knife, but it is not for everyone. If you are going to be doing a lot of water work DO NOT use this knife or any carbon steel knife without proper corrosion protection and start looking at either stainless steel (such as the SOG Seal Team Elite; the Remington F.A.S.T.) or D2 knives (such as the Kabar D2 Extreme). All knife enthusiasts or survivalists should definitely have at least 1 Kabar in their collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best knife you'll ever buy!, May 15, 2008
This review is from: Ka-Bar 2-1212-3 Black Fighting Knife (Sports)
This blade is made of the best 1095 steel. The edge is sharper then any factory edge I've seen. The hard steel will keep an edge forever, and the black finish keeps the high carbon steel from rusting. If you plan to store the knife for any time don't put it in the leather sheath. Buy the plastic sheath for better mounting options and durability. You will love this knife!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Knife, August 2, 2009
This review is from: Ka-Bar 2-1212-3 Black Fighting Knife (Sports)
I got this knife for my birthday and love it. I love the fact in carbon steel not stainless. I love the fact I spent an hour hammering this thing into wood(called battening or splitting wood)the only thing that happing was the hand guard got bent a little and you know what, I love how it is made in the USA. I would surely recommend this knife to anyone who asked. The only down side is this steel is softer so as always you should buy a sharpening stone if you don't have one. Also the bottom can be used for hammering. As always I will update you if I have any problems.
