    All you can ever need

    Posted by Robert on 7th Sep 2010

    Quick delivery, shave-sharp straight from the box, unmatched design and the history of a true classic. Handle is tailored for men with big hands like me. Must-have, really. The only weaker point is too tight sheath but that can be taken care of.

    Best Utility Knife

    Posted by Ruari on 11th Jan 2010

    Classic Ka Bar, this rendition brings updated materials, yet retains the simplicity and functionality of the original. The carbon steel blade is extremely durable and holds it's edge well while being easy to re-sharpen. I've taken it out to Iraq and Afghanistan where it has served me with distinction. No task is too tough for the Ka Bar - digging, opening cans, cutting a myriad of material, chopping - you name it, the Ka Bar excels. It is truly excellent value and the best utility knife around.

    Excellent

    I have 8 other "Ka-Bar" knives(and am very happy with all of them), but have never had the "Original" model before. Mine was certainly razor sharp out of the box, top quality through and through. Very prompt service from Linda as always.

    Finally caved in to purchasing this knife, after umming and ahhing for ages I finally got round to purchasing the famous tool. Lovely knife, looks great, well made, feels indestructable in the hand. Can't say more really, if you're looking at getting one, you already know all about it.

    Great Purchase!

    Posted by Rob on 2nd Jan 2009

    The Ka-bar USMC Utility Knife is an amazing piece of kit. The stacked leather handle is extremly comfortable. The solid butt-cap makes it slightly handle heavy. The pinned tang makes for a very sturdy construction. The guard is strong - no wobble. The blade is light, but has a reassuring thickness. It will need a bit of work with a stone, to achieve razor-sharpness. The defintion fo value for money!!!
