    Ok im going to put it like this you were told. I actually served from 97 2008 ruffly. I was never issued this knife my entire career. To add to that my friend was an operator, spec ops sniper never even heard of it? being issued. He like i were issued a bayonet in basic for that particular training. After that you had the option to buy what you wanted. Marine Corp has there own we have ours thanks.

    I see alot of posts by people squabbling over whether this is a combat knife or a survival knife. It’s both!!!? That’s why it’s not THE best at either. It’s a good knife to have in combat and is useful in survival situations. It’s a time-tested, battle proven knife that’ll have your back in any situation that you may find yourself in. There’s no use arguing about it!

    It’s a shame that New York’s past was deeply into warfare? and construction of weaponry and tools and now I can’t carry a shoe without a cop stopping me.

    Yes sir it is. Ka-bars are issued to U.S. army recruits from? what I have been told from a veteran. Not exactly sure who gets issued them, but they are still in service.

    It is a utility knife. Even the marines who go into the mountain warfare school use the Ka-Bar (curving bowls, collecting firewood, processing woods, finding a baton, and making a bow? drill with organic rope) I use this knife often, very durable piece of kit and inheritably resilient because of the saber grind. Not a great carver but very useful considering it is also a combat knife.

    I personally own the Kabar Big Brother and the Black Kabar plain edge. I love the kydex sheath that comes with the standard? Kabars, and I wish they’d offer a kydex one for the Big Brother. But I’m sure the demand isn’t high enough to warrant the mass production of the

    I don’t know about now but the kabar has been issued to the US Army in the past. I’m not sure if soldiers are even issued knives anymore, I think they’re free to? carry anything they want.

    Ka-Bar knives where more? geared toward being a combat/utility knife. Trust me, you dont want a short lil combat knife. You want it? nice and long to go deep and hit fatal organs. And the leather handle has never let me down, but they make a synthetic version that is much MUCH better, doesnt slip, doest wear out, water resistent, All around great knives for my purposes.
