Have any of you ever modified it to be a small boot knife?

Yes all the time very rarely do I leave anything stock! !!they should get imput from users this way they'd get it right the first time

No, However i could see it being an excellent knife for that application. The knife itself has very good retention inside the sheath.

What state do you live in? I live in CA and there is no knife illegal here and we are a communist state. It is called a boot knife, dagger is not used in any description of it. I hope this helps.

im sure you could if you really wanted to, I I have never thought about using this to do so. I would recommend using the seal pup or a deer dressing knife.

I all so bought the small knife and use it a lot more for everyday use. It's more practice. This is a lot bigger then the picture leads on

Comes with a small plastic sheathe that is rectangular and can be laced into a boot. The knife is very small and having medium sized hands i couldn't find a sturdy grip for it.

Unfortunately not, I had the same problem. I did by two more of the knifes, they work OK but not made as well as my original one.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it at all!! The KA-Bar wasn't designed to be carried in a boot or hip pocket or any place that could lead to greater chances of foolish, self inflicted wounds - major or minor. The KA-Bar blade is very, very sharp and nothing to just fart around with. Keep it in it's sheath at all times and when you carry it, keep it attached to your belt. There it will always be within reach if it is ever needed but also out of the way and positioned in a much safer area. Knives of this size were never designed to be played with!!

it can be cut down and if you have access to a hacksaw that would be best. I used a serrated knife but it required some work. A hardware store might be able to cut it down to size for you in no time at all. Good luck

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

I haven't yet. But I think it would be too thick for skinning. Came sharp though I know that.

Yes I did shorten mine too with a very sharp knife and then put very small snap ties on the ends of them to make sure they don't frey even though they probably wouldn't anyway. Great laces nothing better I put mine into rocky boots that are 2 years old and were them every day and will get another year out of them too. Buy the laces like I will every time... 10 out of 10

fantastic knife might look for something a little smaller for everyday carry. I wish you good luck with your remission.

Yes, although I would add that the tin is just a tiny bit too small to fit the knife in easily. It would have worked better if the tin had been a 16th of an inch bigger, diagonally. Nice knife, though; I carry it in my wallet.

Not as sold. You would have to do some alteration and additions to the sheath. Its a good idea isnt it. But altering the sheath may cause problems of its own.

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

It's universal, made with cut-marks for sawing it down to that size, or even smaller. Any hacksaw will do it. I had to shorten mine, and you can tinker with it until you get exactly the amount of ''lean'' you want. Then slip the rubber boot back on.

I have NOT. Having said that, I would guess that cutting one of these would be pretty difficult -- they are pretty thick/heavy duty.
