Jul 8, 2012 · The Ka-bar USMCs vary depending on steel (avoid the 440 ones, the 1095 ones are decent value, but not the strongest knives in the world). The Ka-bar Beckers are pretty bullet-proof by all accounts, and probably the best fit for what you're asking for. I've heard bad things about some of the Ka-bar zombie range.

Jun 6, 2000 · The KA-BAR feels better in my hand, due to the thinner, more profiled grip. Both knives use 1095 steel, and are the same thickness, and pretty much the same profile, although there is a little difference at close comparison. The KA-BAR has a black epoxy paint finish, the Camillus is milspec parkerizing.

Feb 17, 2013 · However I don't believe I've seen yet a WW2 KA-BAR that had only single thin black spacers behind the guard and pommel like the reproduction knives starting in the 70's. I could certainly be wrong about this at the end of the day, but it is one of the smaller variances pointed out in the past as a post WW2 type KA-BAR.

Dec 22, 2022 · Second of all I know KA-BAR knives are usually quite sharp fresh out the box, mine doesn’t seem to be that sharp if I’m being perfectly honest. And finally the actual box that the knife has arrived in, I know that’s the standard KA-BAR box however from looking at unboxing videos of the Tanto 1245 it usually comes in a different looking ...

Mar 27, 2011 · The start of the Ka-bar Collector's Club was formed in 1976 with the release of the 200th Anniversary USMC Knife, Some say it all started with the release of the 1973 Vietnam memorial USMC knife or at the very least that is the knife that sparked the new found interest of Ka-Bar and the company getting new people started with collecting of ...

Nov 25, 2014 · Ka-bar still makes their classic kabar knife in the USA, along with a couple of other lines of knives, like the Beckers. That said, their knives made in Taiwan aren't bad. I carried a Dozier folder for years, and it's a good inexpensive cutter. I've …

Jul 22, 2012 · The term "ka-bar" was term used for the USMC fighting knife before "ka-bar" was even a company. So all in all, kabar brand was only used in the military for a short period of time, and most of the "ka-bar" knives issued wren either camillus or Ontario.

Feb 17, 2013 · With Ka-Bar marked knives IMHO I don't think there really is a specific chronology regarding the thick and thin pommels, ( it maybe that there is work done on this that I've missed). Certainly the first knives had thick pommels but there seems to be a bit of debate as to whether they switched back and forth during the war production.
