KA2217: Big Brother | Leather Handled Fighting / Utility Knife

KA-BAR Knives

 

This is the "Big Brother" to the standard Ka-Bar USMC combat knife. It's huge! It has a blade that is just short of 9-1/2" and an overall length of almost 14-1/2" Ka-Bar has an honored history: During WWII a legend was born, as several companies were asked by the U.S. Government to help supply troops with combat/utility knives. KA-BAR stepped up to the challenge and their reputation became so strong that all who are familiar with this knife refer to any of its kind simply as the "KA-BAR". The world's most famous fixed-blade knife is still doing its job, with honors, almost 70 years later. This "big brother" series of oversized combat knives promises to serve our citizens in new ways. It can dig, chop, stab and perform a myriad of chores with ease.

Big knife for big jobs for like bars you’re able to stick that in a bar you’ll be able to reach something. I asked for the serrations everybody whining about serrations. If you ever killed a Havelina their skin is so thick and durable it be Veryvery tough pliable rubber with a straight edge. The serrations are a plus it rips right through the belly of the Havelina with no problem. Remember that knife will draw first blood. All my knives after hunting Havelina if I’m in the field must have serrations it makes opening them up a heck of a lot easier . The Bears aren’t so bad these Havelina out in Arizona and wow they’re pretty tough animals

I sent it back after one look
Someone said "Like a BUSSE"??? Not even in the same galaxy. A BUSSE could chop this thing in little pieces. Thin, painted blade with anemic guard with gaps. People who never had a quality knife may be impressed with this, but I really doubt it. The positive reviews are puzzling to me. Don't compare it to a BUSSE, compare it to a OKC and the PKC is a real knife. This is all marketing flash and bad fit and finish. Fragile design is not ready for prime time. Suspect it will easily snap at the guard where the blade meet the handle.

Kabar Big Brother knife
Knife is beautiful. Nice fit & finish. Knife needed sharpening upon arrival. Sharpened straight edge & serrations w/ Spyderco knife sharpener system. Can do surgery with it now! )
