Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Finish, Handle Material
Cons: Materials, Overall Quality, Sheath/Scabbard, Weight
Knife Seems Good, BUT, Sheath Very Thin (Mexico)
Overall rating is because Leather Sheath is very thin lightweight leather and Made in Mexico. I understand now why there are custom replacement USA made sheaths online. For the price that I paid, I was expecting better than this. Sheath is a very poor quality. If considering getting a KA-BAR, please get Kydex sheath...

Pleasantly surprised
I purchased this knife 4 years ago and put it away in storage. I recently opened the box and reexamined the Ka-bar. I was surprised that the top clip point was sharpened! I don't know if that was a "fluke" because from what I have heard Ka-bar and Camillius do not sharpen the top clip of there marine combat knives. However, the sharpened clip will aid in penetration and "back cuts" in knife fighting. I hope they continue to manufacture there knives with a sharpened clip point. I understand Ontario knives sharpens there clip point on there version of the Ka-bar. However, there version has a "rough".fit and finish. Compared to the Original Ka-bar.
