KA2221: Mark I | Kraton G Handled FIghting / Utility Knife

KA-BAR

It's tough to argue with the success of the world's most recognizable, time-tested fixed-blade knife so KA-BAR® did what any smart company would do, they didn't change the original design, they expanded upon it. The high-carbon, non-reflective black blade is epoxy powder-coated and tests prove the finish is more durable than ever. The classic oval shape of the original KA-BAR® remains and has been modernized with a material nearly impervious to sweat, chemicals, water and wear, Kraton G®.

A Beautiful Knife!
I now have a number of survival and tactical knives. And this one is by far the cleanest, well portioned knife of them all. The balance is perfect and the grip is excellent. The overall shape is beautiful. It's a work of art. It's obviously not a heavy duty knife like the Gerbers or Schrade SCHFs but makes up for it with its overall attributes like weight, size, balance, and feel. I haven't put it through any tests but have taken it with me on hikes. It's extremely comfortable and I forget that I'm actually carrying it with me. When I opened the package and inspected the USN MK 1 there were no imperfections. The blade was sharp and the hand guard did not rattle. It feels very solid. I understand that it was a complimentary navy knife. Probably meant for EDC. Anyways, it's a beautiful knife which appears to be very capable of handling any reasonable task.

A Marine With A Navy Knife? You Betcha!
I have owned this knife for a while, but have been remiss in not yet reviewing it! With the possible exception of Kershaw, (they're neck and neck!) I own more Ka--Bar knives than any other brand. Their 1095CV blade steel is one in which I have complete confidence; from the BK20, Moses, traditional USMC fighter, Zomstro, and so many others, they have met and surpassed any expectations one could have for any given knife. When I was looking for a shorter knife with a little more heft and more friendly contour to the handle than the 'short' versions of their iconic knives, I found this USN Mark I Fighting Knife. USN? NOT a problem! After all, the Marine Corps is a Department of the Navy (The Men's Department! [Apologies to WMs!]). LOVE THIS KNIFE! It has become my primary EDC Fixed Blade, and cardboard knife! Do I need to sharpen it frequently? Not really, but stropping is frequent (not a big deal!) HIGHLY REOMMENDED!
