Leather Sheath
Leather Sheath
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.
1095 Carbon Steel
1095 Carbon Steel
An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for it's extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel, most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.

Pros: Sheath/Scabbard, Handle Material, Blade Material, Materials, Weight, Overall Quality, Finish
Cons: Blade Sharpness, None
Doesn't get any better!!
I was surprised when I opened up the box, perfect fit to handle, good finish, great sheath. Hard to find anything negative to say about it, nothing works like a leather handle & sheath! I bought the Cold Steel SRK at the same time, great knife too, nothing like the classics!! It just feels better in your hand, better balance. Only complaint is it wasn't as sharp as I'd like...but a little work on a stone and it's plenty sharp! This one is the perfect size with great balance and strong blade.....so good I'm thinking about buying the same knife in the combo blade!!

Pros: Blade Material, Sheath/Scabbard, Handle Material, Weight, Materials, Overall Quality, None
Cons: Finish
Top quality materials & workmanship
The first thing that struck me when I opened the box was the aroma of saddle leather from the sheath; it has a wonderful rubbed oil look and feel. The knife has a surprisingly solid, heavy feel in the hand for it`s size. Blade is about 5/32, almost 3/16" thick. Point of balance is just back of the crossguard. Not so intimidating to wear on the belt at work or out and about as the full size model. One negative: the sharp edges on the metal washer just back of the crossguard immediately scratched up the sheath when I slid the knife in for the first time.

What to say about Kabar...! Great knife, good quality, in one word "fantastic". Just take into account that the handle is a little small.
