   I’m in construation and wear/use it everyday. I get a lot of comments from coworkers. I’ve had it underwater several time and have no complaints

   Excellent knife. The sheet is not good at all. Putting a rivet in the middle of the knife entrance scratches the knife, just like the hardcover one for different reason!

   I got this one specifically for the leather sheath, It’s well made in my opinion.. The knife is Genuine Ka-Bar quality Made In the USA! Solid blade.. the grip perfectly molded as well, very pointy and sharp too! Ka-Bar knifes are BOSS I own 5 or 6 and I love em’! Happy hunting!!

   Just got this beauty yesterday. Like a couple of the other reviews said, it’s smaller than you think it’ll be, but it’s an amazing knife worthy of the KA-BAR name. Extremely sharp right out of the box and the grip is perfect.
   

5. Don’t worry about it.. Verified Buyer – 12 January 2025

   First If anyone wants this knife they have to take into consideration the fact that it’s a simple sleek war knife meant for hand to hand defense/offense, cutting flesh and stabbing through clothing or armor, and obviously everyday knife tasks.. It is not meant to be a bushcraft camping knife that you beat on with logs and rocks, I mean it will hold its own but it’s in no way design for a backpacking trip through the sierras.. Never had a knife of this brand and just opened the box but I expected more girth and weight to it. In my opinion the blade is a good size but could use a little more weight to counter balance the handle, the serration is rounded and on what I consider the back of the blade, which is weird. (see pics) I feel the handle would be nice if it was thicker. I guess that’s what reviews mean when they say it’s small.( pics show how much my fingers wrap around the handle) I think if it had the full-size handle on it I’d be all wet over it. the leather sheath is nice, made in Mexico. I just now bought it as a self defense tool, I ruptured 2 disks in my lower back a year ago, I’m a mechanic/ general handyman/staircase specialist, I buy cheap knives I expect to part ways with, if I leave it at the junkyard or on a job I don’t want to be to sad.. In my opinion, unless your going to war or planning on using it solely for self defense, I’d look for a better bush knife. out of the box based on my own expectations I’d never have paid more than $45 in person. $60 is to much for a knife I only carry out to my garage for self defense.. Definitely won’t buy one again if It gets disappeared..

   Dependable knife with a sharp edge and an OK grip. Good size for light field use; good buy overall.

   I did not have a chance to use it for its purpose (and hopefully never will). Nice, solid build, razor-sharp. Only the sheath is kind of ah-a-a… It looks classic, I know, but inside it has a metal rivet that can scratch the blade (see photo). Thus, the Kydex one would be preferable. But in general, this knife is a must-have thing as good stationery, a watch, a nice suit and a pair of shoes.

   Very nice quality sheath feels pretty solid and knife handle is confortable and easy to hold and is full tang very sharp out of box also has a nice weight at the end.
   

10. leehyunjae Verified Buyer – 5 March 2025

    I like the knife. It looks nice and it is sharp. Sharp enough to slice a paper without minimal force but some part of the knife wasn’t pre-sharpened. Also the black leather sheath has a minor problem. you have to angle it to put it away and if you are not careful, you will cut your sheath because it’s made out of leather. Also another thing is that, for my medium size hand, I wish the handle was slightly longer by like 1cm. Sheath looks like leather but it is poor quality. Threading on it is poor and some minor damage on the sheath. Otherwise it’s great purchase.

    Huge disappointment. Serrated part was not sharp at all. The top edge wore off the first use and still haven’t been able to sharpen. Knife just feels like a cheap knife made in China.
