is this a authentic Ka bar? Some have K2 on blade

Chinese junk! How such an American Co can do that is beyond me. Plus the blade gets loose and I'd difficult to fix. Go either with Benchmade or Kershaw

This is made for Kabar in a Chinese factory. It's a good design, but poor execution and poor blade steel. The liner lock is very flimsy. Spend 10 bucks more and get an Ontario Rat 1 made in Taiwan. Taiwan made knives are typically better quality.

It is but also isn't. Sadly this folder isn't made in the US but the k2 knives are just newer modles.

these are American made, stamped "KA-BAR, Olean NY", and has an American Flag stamp on the blade. they also look like they are double heat treated up the length of the sharpened surface, to include the serrated section just fore of the handle. I got this as a replacement for the original made in china one that decided to disappear, and it is by far a superior product over the original.

The KA-15S picture seems to have changed on Amazon. It is not correct. The picture on the Kala website is accurate.

This knife has ARMY stamped on it whereas the Marine Ka-Bar has USMC stamped on blade hilt, other than that it is the same knife...

It is not Kydex, KA-BAR stopped using Kydex years ago. They are now a black plastic.

I had a usmc kabar for over 6 years. It was used throughout Afghanistan and then some. Not hard use because it's a combat knife afterall. I recently bought us army one from here and it seems a bit different. I mean it is the same steel and all but just feels different. Not by much. Maybe it's just me.

The knife is designed by a guy named Becker and sold by Kabar. This knife is definitely the real deal. Basically a sharpened hunk of steel! I love mine.

No. Never had a Ka-Bar come apart, solidly built. Just need to oil the blade or it will rust.

The bayonet is a superior blade. It is certainly Ka-Bar quality, and you will be very happy with it. Be careful unpacking you can shave with both sides of it. The laser light is very good quality also. Just make sure you buy the correct lite. One is for the swing out cylinder and one is for the removable cylinder. The clearances have very little tolerance. It is a precisely made product.

That would be a question better asked of Ka-Bar. They'll be able to tell you for sure. Thanks!

Yes, all kabar knives are american made. I believe their factory is in new york

The side pictured has "Ka-bar" and "Olean, NY." stamped on it, but the opposing side has "U.S.A." with "1211" stamped underneath it. I just uploaded some pictures so you can get a better look. They are the ones with a wood grain table in the background. Remember that this 1095 carbon will rust, as it is not a stainless steel. Mine rusted within a few hours of sharpening. In the picture, you will see that I have it oiled pretty good.

I only have the bk2 but it seems most of the 'scales' in this series are the same material. i think the k-bar site sell a small variety of colors. my bk2 is permanent to my large pistol belt, carries nice and is highly functional. shop around for prices. ernie

I agree with Rocco's answer. The handle on the Ka-Bar is leather wrapped. It looks nice with the leather sheath that it comes with. This model is more of a hunting style than "tactical". Ka-Bar does make quality tactical knives if that's what you're looking for.

Check it's bar code if it is tempered or looks fake like replaced with white color and reprinted it. then it is fake. refrain from buying it online.. nowdays almost all site selling it fake.
