Cons: Finish, Handle Material
Ka Bar Tanto
It's a no nonsense combat knife that I would use as a pry bar If needed. It could use some refinement , but that would raise the price. It's a great tool to sit in my truck if I need it.Nothing fancy, but a whole lot of taking care of business .

Great Customer Service
There were some shipping issues that were mostly my fault, but the people at Knife Center were great at dealing with it and keeping me informed. What I did finally get is a well balanced, sturdy, sharp, utility knife that can take whatever I need out of it while looking mean. It's hard to beat a KA-BAR.
