Beautiful and Deadly; Perfect
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012

If I was a Spec Op, I couldn't possibly be more pleased. The black coating is total (except the grind and a pin that centers the tang in the Kraton G handle that you can see about a millimeter and a half of,) making this optimal for stealth work. I'm primarily going to use this for home self-defense, though, and I really prefer the Kraton G over the old leather handle due to the polymer's life span. The knife is beautiful to behold, although I had to touch up the edge with a Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Sharpener upon arrival which surprised me a little, but I literally ran the knife down the ceramic sharpener about 5 times and had a perfect edge for just about anything. I really considered getting the Ka-Bar Becker BK9 or BK7, but I'm really happy that I got this one. It was cheaper, and the length is still perfect for close-quarters (the BK9 has a 9" blade, and would probably be more like a small sword =p.) I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good military/fighting knife, and having seen the leather-handle USMC version at a fair this last summer for $80 I couldn't be happier with Amazon's price; especially if you've ever gone to Ka-Bar's website and seen their prices. Even the leather sheath is a work of art, and can be touched up with ordinary black shoe polish; although I'd really like to get the Kydex sheath that Amazon offers for this knife (mainly because it can be worn in many different ways rather than standard belt loop attachment of the leather sheath.) Either way, for the price I paid (less than $54,) this was a deal that can't be beat unless you happen to win the knife somewhere or someone is willing to give you one lol.

Remarkable Knife and a Very Fair Price
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012
Verified Purchase
My first Ka-Bar and I am well pleased.

The blade out of the box is more than sharp enough (though not surgically sharp like some folks seem to expect/want) and evenly ground on both sides so it will be easy to maintain the edge. Cosmetically the knife is 100% with an even low glare black coating on the blade and it's well balanced and fits my hand perfectly.

Mine came with a black leather sheath, which was initially very tight with a difficult to snap retention strap, but it is loosening up just fine with use and is in fact well suited to my needs.

One note on the sheath however: The belt loop is made for a full width military web utility belt. Your average 1" to 1.5" wide leather belt you wear with your jeans is going to be a loose fit in it, allowing the knife considerable free play to move up and down on your hip and slide front to back.

This could be an issue for anyone on horse back, climbing or scrambling through rough country. There is a roughly .20 inch hole punched through the tip of the sheath which you can run a lanyard through to tie it to a utility loop on your BDUs or around your thigh to keep it from riding up on your hip if you aren't wearing a webbed belt, or cut a vertical slit the width of your belt in the loop and run your narrower belt through that to positively locate the sheath where you want it.

Over all the knife is a darn fine tool at a darn reasonable cost and the leather sheath works well for those that prefer this style for their needs.

One caveat: Be aware before you buy this knife that this is NOT a small fixed blade camp or hunting knife. This is a full sized mil-spec combat knife and sheath setup. Ka-Bar makes a fine shorter version of this knife which may be better suited to casual campsite and day hiking &ct.

Best knife I've ever owned, worst sheath I've ever seen.
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
Now, ordinarily, I might have rated this four stars because the sheath is so unusable that I had to order the separate hard sheath, but the knife is so fantastic, it's worth the price alone regardless of anything else that was included.

Now, I own lots of knives, but at the same time, I'm really not an expert on them. I don't know metal grades and I don't know all that much about tang or what the handle's made out of, but I can tell you that this knife is one solid piece of art. It's so comfortable and just fits perfectly in my hand and has just a perfect weight to it. Definitely the epitome of combat knives (Ka-Bar in general. Not this specific knife. If you need a knife with serration, this knife isn't for you).

Okay so anyway. The sheath... It's ridiculous. I literally cannot get the knife to go far enough into the sheath to get the snaps at the top of the handle to snap since, if the knife doesn't slide all the way in, the snaps go around the thicker part of the handle, unable to reach. I've been squeezing it in and trying to jimmy it here and there to get it to go just a few millimeters further and I just can't do it. I just ordered the hard sheath, so hopefully that solves my problem. It's hard to tell what's keeping the knife from going into the sheath. The case is just way too tight and way too firm and the leather seems to have no give whatsoever. I'm not sure if there's a trick I'm missing but I'm keeping my knife in the little white paper slip it came packaged in until my hard sheath arrives.

Overall, would I recommend this knife? Absolutely. Just get the hard sheath if you plan on... having a sheath for it.

Edit: A few minutes after posting this, I tried to get the knife into the sheath after the sheath had warmed up a bit from the cold outside, I managed to force it in far enough to just barely get the snaps snapped, but I don't think I'd be able to do that very fast if I needed to. Of course, you usually need to take out the knife fast, not put it back in, but I don't think I'd be able to get it back in at all if it was on my waist and not in my hands. Perhaps if I leave it in the hard sheath for a while, the leather will conform to the shape of the knife and become easier to get in and out? I'll give it a try and post again with results.
