Finally Got To Use It For That Which It Was Designed... SUPERB!
Have owned this knife for a number of years. Bought it for my rather extensive and eclective collection. Never carried it, never used it! I bought it for type! My favorite carry fixed blade has, in recent years, been the Ka-Bar USN MK1 (small, unobtrusive),even though I was a MARINE in two combat zones: air and naval gunfire FO in Santo Domingo, and then a base camp builder and NCOIC of a .50Cal machine gun bunker for my first several months in Vietnam, then a courier of sorts. I have opted for the Navy's USN MK1 Didn't have it back then ('65&'66); much bigger knife (Buck 120)! But recently I had need for my MK1 to use for that which it was clearly designed, but couldn't find it, then remembered I had left it in my car. Though we were safely positioned, but experiencing a near torrential downpour, I grabbed the 1271 and put it to use. Happy to say, its larger size and compound blade out-performed the MK1 in Spades! The finest knife I have ever used for this purpose! Take note DCA and Seth...! I was cutting up cardboard!!!
Just fell in love with this knife ever since I saw it on KA-BAR's website.She is wickedly sharp out of the box and mean in shape as a real combat knife is supposed to be. It is designed exclusively for military/tactical use.Few people own 1271 FIGHTER and very few people know that it has a slightly wider tang than the regular USMC Combat Knife and is thus a little bit more robust in construction.Along with a Cold Steel Leatherneck training knife, I brandish this battle-proven blade whenever I practice Krav Maga alone.HARDCORE KNIVES. HARDCORE LIVES.
