I noticed that the Black Knife is about $10 less the the Brown knife. Is there something that the brown knife has that the black doesn't?

The Brown Ka-Bar has the traditional leather wrapped handle as opposed to the black synthetic as pictured. It is 100% personal preference. I prefer the synthetic for my use. The leather needs to be conditioned over time to keep from aging. Good care of this blade will last you for many generations to come. Hope this helped

I'd assume it has to do with the handle. The black Ka-Bar is synthetic (which I prefer) and the brown is a leather wrap. However, I bought the black knife for myself and my girlfriend because it's full tang and comes with a serrated edge. Hope that helped.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I saw a video that pointed out the difference between two knives. The leather wrapped handle is best for dry environments and the black handle is best for damp environments.

Two different knives - the Gerber is stainless with an aluminum handle and serations. And the Gerber blade is longer and heavier. Look similar but very different. Hope that helps.

The black SRK is SK5 steel which is a carbon steel easier to sharpen than stainless steel but won't stay as sharp will rust the one without the coating is San Mai III which is a higher quality stainless steel stay sharp longer won't rust as easily but harder to sharpen I'd go with San Mai III

They vary between knives. I have two and one if black with light grey (whitish) stripes and the other black with dark grey stripes.

Although I have both, I prefer the 102 is it is smaller, its blade is thinner and narrower which in my mind makes it a more useful and versatile knife. The 119 is a cool knife also but it is very large and stout. I do love the brown handle versus the black, it is worth the extra cost in my view.

I bought this as a gift so I do not have with me, but the difference was an additional knife I believe. To me it is worth the extra $10

Yes, the black is paint or a primer, so if you sharpen any further (which I don't recommend) you'll see scratch marks on the knife. With a good throwing knife you just need the point to be sharp. The edges are less important. Any other questions I am happy to answer!

United cutlery is the actual brand. There not bad knives for the price. You can find them on untied cutlerys website. I think they were like $70 on there. Soo much cheaper on amazon. Good luck!

they are the same knife. the only differences are the color and the sheath. But i have seen some price differences as well. But as functionality goes they are the same. I choose this one simply because it has a more natural color.

If you are able to get for $12.99, DO IT (and please email me at lmbates219@aol.com to tell me what site!!!!!). I was one of the lucky ones that got it for $12.99, and it is an AWESOME set! I went back to buy more for family members, and the price had gone up to $99 (which is actually reasonable for this set, but I'm way too cheap to pay that kind of money for knives!) Anyways, definitely worth it!!!

I would say they are very similar. Same handle materials & finish. I bought the BK22 Companion and the only difference is the blade shape & it is a little bit thicker & heavier. I hope this helps. Both knives I bought are great.

No difference from the specs but only in price and name. There maybe an additional discount for the survival knife. (Not an expert in knives...just like the BG line for quality and price.)

The 8848 has a satin finish on the blade and the 8846 has a black finish. This is only difference between the knives. Both have a plain edge (no serrations) and both have a black handle. Keep in mind, with the 8846, the black finish WILL wear off with use. Hope this helps

The knife is just great. Despite the lack of full tang, I find Moras to be fantastic. I don't particularly care for the black finish of this particular model and would advise getting the Highline Q model and rigging up your own fire steel to the scabbard.

As I understand it, all of these knives are made by the same group of craftsmen. I own both the black and bronze model, and they are more or less identical. I love them both, but I don't recommend carrying them in your pocket as there is no safety mechanism.

I had both but kept only the Rat1. It is a great knife without even considering the price. The tenacious is not as tough and not as comfortable.
