Ka-Bar USMC Fixed Blade 18

I have just received one of these, and so have not had chance to try it on wood cutting etc yet. But I am already very impressed with it's quality of build, very sharp out of the box, the knife feels very good in the hand which is why many British servicemen bought it to replace the Fairburn Sykes knife which although a great knife turned in the hand when wet. I have one of those and I can see the problem, although it does feel beautiful a real collectors knife. I have the Harsey Spartan version which is a modern copy, also bought from Hennies a few years ago and the level of engineering in it is astounding. The leather sheath of the Kbar is very nice, made well from leather that really smells lovely, unusual these days. All in all I am very satisfied with the knife, of course I have to put it to the test yet, but I may well not do, because as a collector I don't want to mark the blade.

This is truly an iconic knife, with a rich history Very well made, good balance and a comfortable grip . The sheath is well made and compliments the knife perfectly Weather you buy this for your collection or to use as a tough working knife, you will not be disappointed Ultra fast delivery from HH makes for a great buying experience as well

Outstanding knife, super sharp out of the box. Quality build.

This knife looks pretty good in the pictures it lopes even better in person it's got a great feeling in your hand with good grip. Pretty sharp out the box not the sharpest but still good. A lovely all round knife defiantly a must have for knife collectors

I’ve bought this to display, such good quality and iconic, love it.

If you want the real deal this is the blade for you. It is simply excellent

Got one of these as a present from my brother across the pond. What can i say that has not already been said, of all my knives if i had to take just one knife out with me then this would be it, without any hesitation. It has served well since wwll and continues to do so !!! KA-BAR usmc Long may it reign. Recommended !!!!!!

Very patient and helpful customer service (kept changing my mind ). and still sorted the order which was delivered on time. Have put off buying one of these for ages.; thought it was expensive!! Mistake! Most of its assets have already been discussed ; it is a well made lovely looking knife with a good sheath (with a drain hole! )to use or for a collector. Sharp OTB ,good in the hand.and not too heavy,and worth the cost. I have the serrated version and look forward to using it in the garden for lighter tasks, ( not too light)alongside my hefty nowill knife.
