I believe your knife steel is not 420HC but 425M (modified). Based on when you said it was purchased. They switched to 420HC in the early 90's.

thank you some one who knows about the value of a cheep knife

this is the best knife review i have ever seen

I've had very good luck with FROST & Steel Warrior ( Chinese) knives. The stainless steel has enough nickel for corrosion resistance but not so much that re-sharpening is difficult. I also like MTech knives for same reason. But Chipaway (Pakistan) bowie knives are not even close to BOKER , Buck, or KaBar for quality. Its fine to collect Chipaway for their interesting shapes and handle mat'ls but that's the extent of their usefulness to me. Paul in Pennsylvania

Best video your the best

PS the Ontario has the same rugged look as the Kabar, fits the sheath left or right, and has a heavy butt cap .But I still love the Kabar and gotta get one.
-
A nice compromise between the 5" and the 7" Kabar is the Ontario 499 ASEK. It has a 5"blade but a substantial handle and comes with a stone.
-
I have small hands. The full size kabar handle is too big for me. I love the small handle. Whatever works!

Hey Jack good vid I have the big kabar and have beat the hell out of it quite a bit, there great but a bitch to sharpen once there dull, you should do a vid on sharpening knives for guys like me who aren't particularly good at it btw love your show

@ColdSteel,
That is just wrong. Texas law is very clear the only exception for a knife that is longer then specified is covered with the following directly from Texas state law,
"(4) is engaging in lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity on the immediate premises where the activity is conducted, or is en route between the premises and the actor's
residence, if the weapon is a type commonly used in the activity;"
Again I am not speaking for any state except Texas

It absolutely is six inches. Being a Filipino MA instructor doesn't have anything to do with Texas state law.

OK now the law is changed and we are both wrong. The newest rendition of Texas law now states the blade may not be longer then 5.5 inches. We seem to be loosing freedoms a 1/2 inch at a time.
