KA1214-BRK USA Fighting Knife, Steel

was bought as a gift, they love it

This knife is a very nice survival/combat knife in that is has a nice cutting edge. I would mostly recommend a plain edge (serrated is for rope and fibrous materials, as such it wastes a lot of blade space) but if that is what you are looking for it is a great knife. The edge comes fairly sharp and it is very quick to touch up. The tang is a bit weak, so it bends slightly if used VERY heavily, but is a great sharp, grippy and durable knife for all purposes. Lastly, the crossguard is pretty uncomfortable and would hurt if you stabbed hard into something, a very quick and nice fix I found was to bend the back (non edge) guard perpendicular to the blade and the other one upward, which makes for an extremely comfortable experience.

I bought this as a graduation gift for my nephew that went into the Marine Corps. He loves it and uses it constantly. Its a KA-BAR... I knew it was going to be a good knife and the hard sheath makes it even better.

I got this for my boyfriend, and he was ecstatic when he opened it on Christmas. I was nervous about the quality of the knife, but it looks beautiful and feels very sturdy in your hand. He has yet to try it out but I believe the blade is as sharp as it looks (not trying to find out, personally). Great quality product for the price, and the shipping was right on time. No complaints.

Very well made, hasnt let me down in the grip and it even came with the kydex sheath which isnt really made clear in the description.

I love this knife its so well built and not so expensive first thing I did was mount it on my iba!

Clean, sharp, and effective, the KA-BAR fighting/utility serrated edge knife represents the fine craftsmanship made famous by the KA-BAR company. Of particular note is the blade to handle balance. Users will feel the weight of the blade as they work with the knife in any variety of situation. Well-suited as a hunting knife, a knife for the Go bag, or a knife to keep in the truck for various emergency situations, purchase the KA-BAR. you will like it.

When it arrived the serrations were not sharp and rounded off. Thankfully Ka-bar was very helpful. If you have an issue go through them. I was able to switch mine out in the span of a week

Hefty and solid, made in the USA. Ive used it while traveling abroad. I imagine it would be handy while hunting or wilderness training as well.

Okay, first of all...its a K-BAR. Very light compared to one I carried years ago. Thinner and sharper. Advances in steel technology, I guess. Great balance and grip. Yeah, its not cheap but if youre expecting wet work now is not the time to pinch pennies. Look at other legit combat knives...what prices are they running?
