A great KaBar Product. If you want a great large bladed knife, this is it.

Love this thing. Very large, solid construction and feels wonderful in the hand. Also came sharp as hell out of the box. Great for an all around outdoor knife. I did a lot of research before purchase and i am not disappointed with this knife. Highly recommended.

I researched plenty of blades before deciding on this one. It does not disappoint. It's a big knife at just over 9" long, blade alone is just over 4", but really light. Pocket clip and locking mechanism are stiff but the knife is sturdy. It's so light and thin, you'll forget you are carrying it. The blade is stupid sharp. I've cut myself a couple times while trying to fold it with one hand. Careful when you try. There are plenty of YouTubes that show the knife's performance in the field stress tests. I love this knife. I'll buy another real soon.

Wow, this knife is great. This is a well built budget friendly large folder. The fit and finish is superb. The blade centering is perfect and it came sharp out of the box. I love the two grip design with the added finger choil. The G-10 scales are nice and give good grip. It fits in pocket nice and fits in had great. The blade was a little slow when opening but I put a few drops of 3in1 oil and now if flies open. The lock up is good and it is easy to close with the large cut out. I also really like the CTS BD1 blade steel. The steel is almost as easy to sharpen at 8cr13mov, but hold an edge almost as good as S30v. The skeletonized liners and G-10 scales make this knife reasonably light. This is now my favorite medium/large edc. I find this knife to be a better choice over the Tenacious. It is similar to the Tenacious in size, shape, weight, and materials, but with a way better blade steel. The price is right for this knife. It is a killer deal for a medium/large folder. Don't pass this knife up.

This knife is well its big. The blade is 8 1/16 long from the tip to the front of the hand guard, the handle is just under 5 from the front of the hand guard to the end of the pommel cap, so total knife length is just about 13. The blade is quite sharp from the factory but probably could be honed a little sharper, the blade tip is very pointed and would be very effective at piercing, the second wide angle point on the blade about an inch from the tip probably would be effective at opening a gash in a slashing move, the serrated part of the blade is about 1 1/2 long and starts about 5 1/2 from the blade tip and goes to about 7 from the blade tip and the serrations have a more semicircular shape than triangular. The sharpened part of the blade, when viewed in profile, has a slight curve to it giving it a look, I think, thats little bit like a samurai sword. The blade surface is coated with a matte black material (except where its sharpened) that keeps from light reflecting off of it. It also has nice geometric grind patterns on the blade. The blade looks and feels sturdy as does the knife overall.

 The handle is made of a hard black plastic like material thats textured for better grip, its slightly oval shaped width wise to fit more comfortably in the hand and tapered length wise, fatter in the middle and tapering a bit narrower towards both the hand guard and pommel.

 I haven't weighed it but it feels like it weighs between 1lb. and 2lbs. so its a little heavy but its nicely balanced, I can balance it perfectly with my finger under the handle just behind the hand guard (which you should do carefully or you could spear your foot which I almost did).

 The scabbard is made of glass filled nylon which looks and feels like a thick, hard plastic and is very strong. It has three separate safety features; first it has two triangular knobs just above the sheath that pop into place over the knifes hand guard to lock the knife securely in the sheath, to unlock it you push on the scabbard with your thumb and pull the knife handle away from the scabbard until the two knobs clear the hand guard and pull the knife out; second is a long nylon strap with a large snap that comes across the handle just above the hand guard and snaps onto the top of the sheath; third is two short nylon straps with a large snap that wrap around the end of the handle and snap together. Theres a large nylon strap loop at the top of the scabbard for hanging from a belt, theres a large plastic  buckle attached to that nylon loop so you can hang it horizontally or upside down (like from a backpack strap). For even more securing options it has ten riveted holes (each about 1/4 in diameter) and four slots (about 1/8 wide and 1 1/8 long) around the edge of the plastic sheath.

 The one flaw my knife has is the blade is very slightly bent to one side where the blade meets the hand guard, its difficult to see and I have to look at it with one eye to see it. The blade itself is very straight, its just bent vey slightly in relation to the handle. I think this is particular to my knife and is not a pervasive quality problem with K-bar knives and I don't think this flaw will affect the performance of the knife (I hope not anyway).

 I haven't used it to cut anything yet, but I think it will make a good utilitarian knife, a formidable self defense weapon, and maybe a good hunting knife (though a bit big and heavy to have to carry on treks). Its a great knife worthy of at least 4 stars but I have to give it 3.7 stars because of the blade on mine being slightly bent.

This is one of two knives if would take to war as my all around knife if I could have only one. The other is also a ka-bar.
Before anyone dismisses me as a ka-bar fanboy, let me say that I feel this way about these knives because of what I want in a field knife.  They are rugged and reliable. They hold an edge well and are a piece of kit on which I know I can rely. Large enough for the big jobs these knives are jacks of all trades. If I had one downside to mention about these knives it is that hard sheaths with molle attachment capabilities are not readily available at least not when I looked. I did find some however so they do exist and are available if you look. Great knife one you'll be proud to own

The Khukuri is a beast (but in a good way) and the full tang blade is sturdy, obviously built to take a beating. I liked the knife so much I immediately ordered the 8 inch bladed version.

I highly recommend it for those who are undecided unless of course you have weak wrists or arms.

This is the second kabar  i have bought, the large and the medium size one. What can i say , this is a complete survival knife that is built to last forever and past down to my kids. I actually got interested  kabar about watching the history of the navy seals after that i had to have one. With this knife on my side i feel as save as if i was carrying my ruger 9mm. The sheath is strictly top of the line. The kabars are the best ive ever had

I already have this sheath and I'm waiting for the 2nd one to arrive. It is the best option for carrying a KaBar knife. The leather sheath is OK but this one is an excellent better option. Thank you Amazon.

well built, great mfgr, I love Kershaws and this one does not disappoint. A relatively small one (compared to some of my others, but lightweight and easy to use.
Kershaw pioneered the assisted open knife and it shows. It doesn't 'whip open' like the cheap stuff, but opens smoothly and efficiently.
this one has a side blade thumb stud, and the rear stud pops it open just fine too.
I once used a Kershaw to cut a blown tire completley off the rim(aside from the wire bead), I still have that one, and it's still sharp.

Another great Ka-Bar knife. Just the right size for all you cutting needs. Again, the color scheme of Black & Gray almost makes this knife a designer knife!

Wow. What a great knife. I have been looking for a knife like this for twenty years.
Big powerful feeling and looking knife for a great price. Ive read reviews about this knife putting some things down... Bah!...If you want an overpriced knife go ahead and pay for one. This is a KABAR thats really affordable. This is a mans knife...feels good in your hand with an mean looking blade. Opens and closes great with either hand. No silly thumb stud to catch on something on the draw or fall off. No lateral blade give. It gives me an extra five inches of reach. If your cutting string or skinning out a moose or fighting an alligator this is the right knife. Take it from a thirty year adventurer...Buy it.

I received the knife today and quickly grew to love it. It is big, (I wish that I had purchased its smaller brother). This knife, when called upon, will "do the job". I am looking forward to carrying it regularly. I will continue this review later after I have used it for a while.

This is a "bad boy" (and that's an understatement) I have put a "scary sharp" edge on the knife. If it holds this edge as well as my other Taylor Brand LLC, (Made In China) knives have, it should work really well. I have three "Old Timer" knives made from the same 7Cr17MoV Stainless steel. This steel holds an edge reasonably well and resists neglect (corrosion) more than just "adequately" for field use. I expect no less from this large "tactical" dagger. It is. I will carry this knife into "dicey" situations without hesitation. The blade is thick and sturdy, and the piece has enough weight to penetrate a heavy winter coat if enough power is behind it. This is a deadly combination.

This is a well made knife that comes razor sharp. But make no mistake, this thing is huge. The blade is heavier than the grip, making it a bit unbalanced, but this does not affect performance. It is a wonderful tool.

before he died, my uncle gave me his Sea Bee Ka-Bar that he used in the South Pacific in WWII. The sheath is somewhat dry rotted but the blade was awesome. Shiny with some few dark spots of light rust and some green on the hilt. The leather grip had South Pacific dirt from use. This blade was incredibly sharp as is. So I decided to order a modern day Ka-Bar. Well made but no comparison to the early knives of WWII. Still - all in all - a well made knife. Now all I have to do is find a sheath for my uncle's knife.

When I bought this knife I was looking for a knife that could basically cover all the bases. I wanted it big enough to act as a small machete (or sword if that's your thing), strong enough to be a good utility knife, and also good looking enough to show off. If you're looking for the same thing I am, your not gonna much better than this knife. Beautiful, functional, and powerfull. This knife is great for pretty much anything you'd usually put a knife through. However one thing to be wary of is just how big this thing is. If you're not a big fan of big knives this is not the knife for you.

This knife is the essence of what Banchmade does. It is ample bladed. It is well balanced. It is sharp. It flips open with just the right amount of force. Great pocket knife and excellent clip as well. The D2 steel took a while to get perfectly sharpened, but the edge will be great for a long time. There is no blade play and the level of detail used to make this product really shines through.
