is this truly a ka-bar or knockoff

Both the stamp and the gold lettering are real Ka-bar Becker knives. They no longer stamp the knives and have switched to the laser engraving.

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.

The one I got seemed to be 100% Ka-Bar. Or else, the packaging, etc. was all a really great copy. The blade I got was ground asymetrically and didn't live up to my expectations so I sent it back.

The one I ordered seemed 100%. The only thing was the "550" paracord wasn't "550". I love my Becker & the sheath is extremely well made.

No. Not at all. It's a knockoff from HIC (Harold Import Company) in New Jersey. See my detailed response to another question here about it.

IF they do, we do not carry them. You may contact Ka-Bar direct and they will be able to tell you.

Yes, Ka-Bar knives are fantastic and well worth the money, I own most of the ZK series, and a large number of other blades by them, and I can safely say they're worth their weight in gold. I've even split wood with just my standard Marine Fighting knife by Ka-Bar. My EDC is also a Ka-Bar folder from the Zombie Series and I have yet to re-edge it, just strop it every few months. If you want a good knife, Ka-Bar is your blade.

No, it is not an exact clone of the BK2... What it is is a very good knife for the money that is tough as nails! Condor makes very good knives.

I ordered this Ka-Bar from Amazon. It was received on 12-9-10 and came with a leather sheath as shown in the photos. It was new in the box, excellent condition. They need to add "with leather sheath" in the description.

Sorry, I do not know. The knife was sharp enough out of the box and after a few light camping trips the blade still holds true. Perhaps KA-BAR customer support could answer or email them directly? Great knife, and highly recommend the investment.

This bar is identical to other olympic bars except it doesnt have center knurling. You shouldnt have a problem

No, its not. I received a cheap no name knockoff one that has the same look, but with no branding.

No, this is a KDC-258U not a KFC-258U, but if you meant is this is a legit KDC-258U, then yes it is a legit KDC-258U.

Frankly, yes these are all "knockoffs" of eachother, there is no "real one"....many many manufacturers producing almost identical versions. Most of them are awesome. I suspect you were very happy with yours once you saw how it performed, but it is very likely if you ordered another one today it wouldnt be exactly alike, you'd notice tiny differences.

I don't think it is an exact clone but it is a really good knife for far less the cost of The Becker BK2. I love mine and have never had any problem with it. It is as sharp today as when I bought it.

Micah, as far as I know all KA-BARS are manufactured by the k-bar company in Olean, NY. They are the original makers of ka-bars. They made them for all three branches of the service and if you go to their web site can purchase this knife stamped Army, Navy or Marines.

I really don't know . .my packaging was just as shown. With the original bar on the box to show it authenticity .

No. It is a good knock off tho. Returned mine already. No response from seller.

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

Definitely not a scam. The KAA models were a special factory run with slightly different factory specifications & only available through limited Retailers. They are not widely available now, but remain on Amazon due to the original listing Seller creating the listing and not updating. Your Friends at EZPICKN (Authorized Kala Brand Retailer)
