KA-BAR review - Marine's & soldier's fighting knife

Just a review of the Ka-Bar knife I bought recently. I'll add it to my survival bag in case I have to evacutate in a hurry. It'll be nice to have in a situation like that! This one has a 7" blade and is 11 7/8 " inches long. Has a black anti-rust finish and a leather handle. Handle has a nice shape that can accomodate average to large hands. I also picked a serated blade in case I need to cut tough material like branches or rope. Check out their web site at ka-bar.com and see if they have one that's right for you!! Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching & subscribing..

Did that knife come with the catalog with all the knives in it?

@vThatAirsoftGuy Yes.

@happygokillmore A groove creates area with 2 ridges on each side, in order to bend the blade you have to bend the ridges. Although no thicker, they provide section that is stronger. Like an I beam, or bed of a pickup truck. Steel is shaped in a way that increases strength. Flat piece of steel can be bent, but putting a groove in provides sections on both sides that are perpendicular to the blade. Might help to draw it out from the knife point view, one solid & one w/ big grooves on each side.

@steamingpoopfart A fuller increases blade strength. Although no thicker, it provides a section that's stronger. A groove creates area with 2 ridges on each side, in order to bend the blade you have to bend the ridges. A bayonet will not seal so well you can't remove it. They'll bleed w/ a bayonet in them whether or not it has one. Once removed they'll suffer from a bleeding wound. It's not to get them to bleed to death right then, it's damaging major organs that will kill the enemy in seconds.

I was a SOLDIER in the US Army and I carried this knife,upside down on my LBE web gear..., and a boot knife. If you boys think this knife is crap, take a head count on all the dead Germans, Japs ,Koreans..& Viet Cong(Charlie).........If you dont know what your talking about, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE! "Scouts OUT! "RECON"

I'm looking for a ka-bar that is very similar to the model used from ww2 to Vietnam. Can some one please respond?

do you know theres a compass in the handle

@USMCstyle its used in all branches of the military. Ka-Bar is a Military knife manufacturer. they don't just make them for Marines. I know Army infantry soldiers that carry Army marked Ka-Bar knives into combat... just a side note... Marines are soldiers too. I know marine pride makes you think your not "classified" as a soldier, but if you read the definition of a soldier you'll understand. Thank you for your service btw, we need more men and woman willing to serve their country.

its a Marines knife, not a solider

[somedirtyangel]

Could you imagine using this in WW!!? Knives have come along way today from then, but this knife is still one of greatest knives ever crafted.

@freakin1random Based on my reasearch the fuller hasn't nothing to do with allowing blood to flow. As mentioned before, it provides a stronger blade versus a plain flat blade. I guess we'll just have to disagree.
