This is one famous knife. First, an American brand. Then the Japanese bought the brand and made them in Japan, and now they have most made in China. I have several, from all factories, and I have yet to find one that was poorly designed or made. I carry a Warthog folder in my EDC bag (a 5.11 tactical PUSH bag) that was made in Japan in 2001; its handle is zytel plastic with no metal liner, so it weighs about half what the new ones do. Some like the new lined ones because they're stronger (well made in China), and I shopped for my vintage Japanese one because it's lighter. The classic USMC fixed blade Bowie style may be the single most beautiful and useful knife ever made. Wish it had a toothpick.

THE BIG BOSS WITH THE HOT SAUCE

um... what?

Quite the KaBar fanatic myself.

who is not a ka-bar fan, theres alot of blade for the buck...

amen

Wow really? How bad? Pics? I've do some tough batoning with mine and no problems other than the hand guard being bent.

Might file that hand guard down on mine too. I would send to kbar I think they have warranty.

I know this is the KA-BAR Club and I hope you forgive this minor intrusion. But since this is a military knife I thought some of you may have knowledge I need. I have a customer who wants me to put a blade in a LF&C 1918 trench knife handle he has. I need the correct dimensions of the original blade. Thanks in advance for any help.

my kabar is probably the one knife i would never sell. that thing has been with me on so many trips and the wear and tear on it just makes me love it even more :D
