My KA-BAR
Always wanted a KA-BAR and finally bought one. I wanted one with a stacked leather grip, but with a 5" blade.

This is a perfect knife for Me. There's is nothing I would've change on it.

As always, KA-BAR delivers outstanding craftsmanship and high quality for the price. Just as good as several more expensive knives. Very pleased with this knife. Excellent leather quality as well.

Short KA-BAR
I really like the short version of this knife. The knife is made with the standard of workmanship you would expect from this company. It comes shaving sharp and well packed and presented in a well designed box with the US Marine Core Logo.I really like the short version of this knife as it, for me, is a handier size and weight for most routine work around a camp site. I have not had it long enough to extensively field test it but am sure that it will meet my needs and doubt it will be subjected to the same rigorous working envirement it meets when carried by the Marines.
