Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Sheath/Scabbard, Materials
Cons: Finish, Blade Sharpness
Strong and compact
I've purchased this knife as an all around tool for camping and around the house. The thickness of the blade gives it substance and a great feel. It was not sharp out of the box, and the point as very dull. After filing down the top guard level with the blade, and giving it a few passes with a sharpeninig stone, it has turn out to be one of my best knife ever. My father had carried a KA-Bar during WWII and always had one around the house. Even if this knife had cost 3 times the amount, it is worth it. The Kydex sheath is very durable and light weight. It is a perfect fit to this knife. The only suggestion for this knife would be to have it sharper out of the box.

KA-BAR short plain edge w/kydex sheath
I hunt,fish,camp,hike,climb, and consider myself to be an extreme outdoorsman that requires my equipment to handle extreme conditions(weather/utility),the only thing I downside attribute I say about this knife is the size of the handle, concerns about my hand slipping,compared my gerber Bg ultimate fixed blade approximately the same blade length and price,it makes the KA-BAR 1258 look like a toy,the size/width/ handle is a better fit than the 1258,though the overall quality and durability of the KA-BAR 1258 is fire superior,my Gerber has taken a lot of abuse,still performs fine, except for the piece of ***** sheath,I should have gone with the leather on the KA-BAR and found a new sheath for my Gerber. the only thing I would change is the length of the handle, other than that,its perfect for what i Need in knife THANKS, BRENT
