These knives are meant for PRESENTATION and not to be used as tools so people complaining about 440C are beyond me. This is NOT a “working knife”.

Even though I have a Glock 81 the Field master knife it's still honors me that these are actual good knives and not just something with a name it's stamped on it no offense to kaybar and the legacy of defending our soldiers but you guys know what I mean at least it's not a cheap Chinese knife with a logo stamp on it and marketed at 10 times the price

Какое сведение у вк16?

Every fellow Infantryman I know during my 26 years on Active Duty carried some sort of utility/fighting knife. The M-7 bayonet was a great knife to fight with and when the M-9 came along it was cool,but it wasn’t the same when it came to a fighting knife, it was pretty heavy. More over today, we carry a Leatherman Wave multi-tool and another medium length fighting knife. A long blade is important for a fighting knife, I won’t go into the gory reasons but it’ll get the job done quicker and easier.

Excellent

from what I know from seeing a reenactment of iwo jima the marine thought his 1911 was bad but I think it was a bad primer he threw away his pistol and with out missing a beat he pulled out his KA-BAR and took care of business like 1911s it was a weapon they swore by

Do you pull up slightly to get the clip point I’m having a real hard time

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 It's been awhile

Mines otw. Can't wait!

Leave your hatchet at home if you’re going camping. This chops wood.

No entiendo por qué ponen Kill a Bear y después dicen que el nombre es por Kodiak👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I got here from critical ops

Got me one the other day. Every time I see it I feel connected to our American history and those that fought for it. And I can always do a few extra push-ups when I look at it!

Is there a wat to marry the slingshot with the Kabar backpacker caster to create a fishin slingshot?

I'm going to get this knife for my groomsmen. Anyone have any feedback on how engraving would look on these blades

This man is a national treasure.

This is a great video with high production values, to include period clothing and buildings, etc. Please allow me to respectfully make a suggestion: instead of the epic style of music, which is used too much, the next time you make a documentary, try to use music of the time in which the scenes were shot. This will add to the authenticity and the viewer will get a sense of the passage of time, and also tie in the events to that particular time in the history of the USA with more impact. Thanks!

A lot of producers are trying to make catchy patterns. There is nothing like a good utilitarian blade shape. Nessmuk knew this as well. I own a fine copy of a nessmuk pattern and it functions well. My only other desire would be to try a yakut knife. I own puukkos and I love them. Utilitarian.

I have a Ka-Bar. It's a modern one and I love it! I got it to learn survival skills & and it's pretty indestructible. I never knew it had such a history, but I have an old friend who was in the Army in the mid 70's and he told me it was military issue so I figured it was well made.

Is it possible to order a custom BK18 cut? In a nutshell, I want to have additional jimping added from top to the bottom of the handle (similar to the Seal FX). Also I want the guard to resemble the Seal FX. That would be perfecto

I did not realize you had a channel. I just ordered this knife plus I have many Becker knives.

I want this knife. It is an axe. a chissle and a knife all in one. I am not being paid. I am honestly impressed.

Shoutout to the guys rocking a ka-bar tactical spork into battle.

I saw one up here in Western Canada at a outdoor camping place and it was freaking $320 bucks. Good Lord. When I can have a Buck 119 at $120. In both cases I'm talking about Canadian dollars of course.

Looking forward to the 4-inch blade version. I believe Horace Kephart preferred that one to the 5-inch version.

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran (84-88) & I found my first USMC Ka-Bar on the beach of a Spanish military base (forget the name) where we were doing joint training with the Spanish Army. It must have dropped from the sheath of the previous unit who trained there 6 months before. It was covered in rust & I came close to passing it up but thankfully I didn't. It cleaned up remarkably, with only two small pits in the blade which didn't affect the edge that sharpened up nicely. I liked it so much that I bought a brand new one as soon as we got back to Camp Lejeaune. It cost me a whole $32 at the base PX. I've bought several more over the years, as I like to give them out as Christmas presents to family or friends.

Great documentary. The 1217 is a great knife! For the past 37 years our job shop has laser engraved over a thousand of them for our military members at Camp Pendleton and abroad, as well as our first responders. We love the knives and they laser engrave beautifully with amazing gold foil and other colors. A grateful shout out to military members and first responders everywhere.

It's a great line of blades.

Any knife is a bottle opener if you know what you're doing.

If it’s not double convex. It’s just an ugly flat grind.🖖🏻

It was called TITTY ute?😂 Funny

You can even buy a USSF kabar now. Worth it.

Inside out is clean.

Thank you 🙏🏻

My father was in the corp (staff sgt) and he had one of these KA-BAR knives at home. It was huge and I remember him using it from time to time. He also had those combat “jungle boots.” God bless our military and our great nation.

Ka-Bar knives are always talked about. I actually went to Tennessee to buy my first. Now I own 12 Ka-Bar knives. Best knives ever made.

I have a KA-BAR my dad brought home from WW2

Does anyone know what type of KA-BAR knife the Alaskan used to kill the Kodiac bear? The original KA-BAR that is 7 inch long? I have that and the "Big Brother" version. If the original KA-BAR is capable of killing Kodiac bear imagine what the Big Brother can do.

The longevity of this company was not based on quality as they'd like to have you believe. It's based on the blood of countless American men through multiple wars from which the Jews benifited. All I kept hearing is the story of how a Jew took over and manipulated his way through time and fabricated propaganda to iconic status which modern hands keep reinventing and perfecting to what the product never was ha ha. If you seek a true story of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM look no further than guitar icon LEO FENDER. EVERY ITERATION of his guitar designs has stood the test of time without changing a damn thing.

Take a shot every time he says "you know"

Love Ka-Bar

Why do we wait for war till we realize an American brother no matter what color. GOD BLESS YOU THANKS FOR MY FREEDOM

I still have my USMC Ka-Bar that I bought in the PX 50 years ago.

Nice 👍🏾

Sais it's molle compatible but i'm not seeing any molle in this video...

I'm a former Marine. I love Ka Bar and I've never seen or heard of this documentary. Your failure to advertise is a bit of a letdown to me. You don't seem sincere about wanting to share your story.

ka-bar is the highest quality that's why it's my daily

I'm gonna have to pick one of these up for my go bag
