4 Stars
Its a Ka-bar, but…
For the most part I’m pleased with this knife. Its the genuine one not a knock off. But sometime in the past decade since i bought my last one, Ka-bar stopped edging the top of the clipped point on the blade. My first came with that done. This one should have too, & didn’t & as a result i had to spend significant time correcting that.Not cool, Ka-bar. Do better.

This is a good-looking knife, and I bought this to know what actual WWII American soldiers had in their equipment packs. Very professionally packed. My only regret is that I didn't order the type with the serrations on the blade, which I would have preferred, but I didn't do sufficient homework to know that the company makes a variant that does have a serrated blade (model 5019).

To read a complete review go to [...]

Just received my new KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife in the mail a day early might I add. I felt like a kid on christmas I was so excited. I should have added gift wrap option just for the extra excitement. Once I opened the box my jaw hit the floor and my eyes started tearing up. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen next to my fiance.

Now down to business. Knife came razor sharp out of the box with a fine point tip(I dropped the knife and the point grazed my shin and the point poked my shin right thru my jeans and sliced my shin and blood streamed down, I couldn't believe how sharp it was). I also shaved a patch of arm hair off with a single stroke. The coating on the blade is amazing no blemishes at all, feels smooth to the touch and you can tell this blade will last for years to come with no rusting. The USMC stamp is great. I feel honored to be using a knife that some of the greatest warriors on gods geeen earth made famous. Leather washer handle fits my hand great and feels good too. Even though I live in the Greater NW and the Kraton handle would probably have been more practicable for wet weather climates, I just had to stick with the Original handle. I feel that this will last years to come if taken care of properly.

The sheath is great also. Even though it was made in Mexico it is still extremely sturdy, and great stitching. The leather is a lot thicker then I anticipated. The Marine logo is nicely stamped in the leather and once again I feel proud to wear it. Overall the sheath is really nice and sturdy. I cant get over how thick the leather is. The leather is a little stiff so I applied a couple applications of Saddle Soap and boy did it make all the difference. The sheath is super soft and it also helped remove/hide some of the creases in the leather, and it also brought out a nice dark brown hue in the leather.

Overall I give this five stars and would recommend this to anyone who needs a sturdy fixed blade fighting/survival knife, it will last you a life time if used/stored properly. I feel like a total BA just holding this knife. I also plan on buying one for my Marine Brother-in-law with the Operation Iraqi Freedom commemorative for Veterans Day. The prices Amazon has makes it affordable to give as a gift or to just buy one or two or even three just to have. I will also be purchasing the Ka-Bar Short USMC Fighting Knife with the Tanto Tip. I can't wait to pass this knife down to my Son when he comes of age and then see him pass it to my Grandson when he comes of age. What is also nice is you can have the blade engraved without ruining the blade or finish. This is going to make a great family heirloom for years to come. Thank you Ka-Bar and Amazon!!!

As a knife enthusiast and collector of hunting, camping, and all round survival gear i can say that this is definitely one of the finest Jack-of-all-Trade knives. This knife can be used for hunting, fishing, camping, cooking, digging, brush clearing, and just about anything you can think about. The super durable 1095 Cro-Van steel with a design that hasn't changed for 60+ years is guaranteed to last 5+ generations of abuse and rough treatment. The handle is super comfortable, and the blade is razor sharp and holds its edge well. It can easily go through tin cans, and allows you to baton wood with ease. Carving wood is like shaving a block of butter with a hot knife, and overall it is one of, if not the finest knife i have purchased so far. The blade is perfectly balanced and you can really feel it with every swing.The sheath takes some breaking in, but after taking it in and out enough it becomes a really nice compliment to the knife. Really enjoy my purchase, and i'll be using it for a long time.

Viel muss man zum Ka-Bar an sich nicht schreiben. Ein klassisches Kampf- und Allround-Messer bester Qualität, made in USA. Wer ein reines Outdoor-Messer sucht, eines, das besonders gut zum Holzhacken etc geeignet ist, wird mit dem Ka Bar wohl nicht so glücklich werden, denn es ist ein Universalmesser, das klar und unübersehbar auch als Kampfmesser konzipiert wurde. Es ist also gut ausgewogen, mit dem Schwerpunkt eher hinten - zum Hacken nicht besonders geeignet.

Alles, was mit Schneiden und mit Stechen zu tun hat, ist das, was dieses Messer grandios beherrscht. Es liegt großartig in der Hand, die Bauweise ist ungeheuer funktionell. Die Schärfe ist perfekt. Das Messer kam extrem scharf geschliffen an.

Die Lederscheide, made in Mexiko, ist ebenfalls richtig gut. Sie riecht angenehm nach Lederfett, ist nicht so ein staubtrockenes Ding, das sonst gerne geliefert wird. Diese Scheide kann so wie sie ist, benutzt werden. Schlicht und Funktionell, ganz wie das Messer.

Die Klinge war bei Lieferung durch eine Kartonhülle geschützt. Diese Hülle bitte nicht wegwerfen, denn wenn man das Messer längere Zeit lagert, soll diese Hülle wieder über die Klinge geschoben werden. Bitte daran denken!

Geliefert wurde in einem attraktiven Pappkarton, mit USMC-Siegel und mit einer Gebrauchanleitung, die einiges über die Firma und Tipps zur Pflege des Messers beinhaltet.

Zum Preis: in USA ist der Listenpreis etwa 80 US-Dollar. Das sind aktuell knapp 75 Euro. Bestellt man das Messer in USA, kommt da Porto zu, Preis und Porto werden beim Zoll versteuert, was dann so in etwa 100 bis 110 Euro ergeben dürfte. Plus den Aufwand, das Messer vom Zollamt abzuholen. Ich habe ziemlich exakt 100 Euro hier beim Kauf bei amazon bezahlt - das ist völlig in Ordnung. Preis ist absolut korrekt.

Fazit: meiner Meinung nach DAS perfekte Messer. In einer Zeit, in der andere Hersteller auch guter Messer ihre Produkte in China oder sonstwo in Fernost herstellen lassen, (oder aber wenn sie traditionell weiter im originalen Land produzieren, ihre Messer zu astronomischen Fantasiepreisen verkaufen), wird das KA-BAR nach wie vor traditionell in USA hergestellt und kostet einen ganz normalen, nicht überzogenen Preis. Ich finde es toll!

Ergänzender Nachtrag April 2016:
Ich habe mir mittlerweile auch die zu diesem Messer angebotene Ka-Bar-Nylonscheide zugelegt. Mit dieser Scheide wird der militärische Charakter des Messers betont, sie ist sehr funktionell und hochwertig. Das Messer sitzt fest und sicher in der Nylonscheide. Es kann so auch gut am Rucksack wie auch an allerlei Stellen von Funktionskleidung befestigt werden. Allerdings sollte man sich dann auch dessen bewusst sein, dass ein ziviles Tragen des Messers mit der Nylonscheide eigentlich nicht mehr möglich ist. Beim Wandern wird das Messer also doch wohl weiterhin in der Lederscheide getragen. So wirkt es dann eher wie ein normales Fahrtenmesser.
