Awesome job remarkable craftsmanship the only thing I would have loved to have seen is a leather stacked handle cuz that's what the original ones had but overall great job

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. Yes, without a doubt with leather it looks much better. But where I live it's hard to find leather, I'm looking for future projects. Hugs. 👍👍👍

[@tristanbarnett6271]

@@MakerHA well if you go to k-bars website you can buy a rehandling kit and make your own blade they sell those for only $20 they're normally used when you want to rehandle an old Ka-Bar but knowing your skills you can make your own blade using an actual Ka-Bar kit handle

[@MakerHA]

@@tristanbarnett6271 I understand, that would be a good one, these kits help a lot.

[@tristanbarnett6271]

[@kylebeynon1330]

Of all the “How to make a Kabar” videos I’ve seen, yours is the best my man. I like that you made the tang a little wider than usual, it should be good and robust. I’d carry that knife on my belt any day of the week. Excellent work!

[@MakerHA]

Oh my friend, I am very happy to read such a comment. Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that you liked my version of Kabar. A big hug for you. 👍👍👍

[@TheRichardc123]

I like yours better than the current stock offerings, you got a better tang on there. Piece of advice though - the originals did not have that slight backward sweep on the cross guard and it’s actually awful when you have to use the tool aggressively.

Thank you my friend. I understood 👍👍👍

genius way of doing the fuller. Did you have a way of measuring the depth, or just eyeball it? Great looking blade!

Thank you my friend. It was just in the eye 👍👍👍

[@caseyclark5392]

Great looking knife. I like the pin in the pommel. The only thing I would have done different is flipped the hand guard. Having the curves go towards your hand may create some hot spots. Overall sir, great looking blade.

[@Miki59]

Hand-Schutz umzudrehen entspricht aber den Vorbild nicht. Tolle Arbeit.👍👍

[@MakerHA]

Thank you so much my friend, I'm glad you liked it. Well, I followed the typical knife model, but those curves towards the hand are always a door to getting hurt. 👍👍👍

you should do a threaded tang for your handle it would be awesome as a breakdown K-bar

[@MakerHA]

Yes, a threaded tenon would be much stronger.👍👍👍

[@williamgunnarsson]

That KA-BAR design is one of the best there is. What a great job you did ! I heard, though I've never seen one, that the Israeli military issued a very close copy of a KA-BAR that did have a wooden handle instead of leather.

[@MakerHA]

Thank you my friend. I didn't know that, that they had already made a ka-bar with a wooden handle, many do not understand that it is a copy, and the reason for using it in wood, but not every place is easily accessible to leather. 👍👍👍

[@williamgunnarsson]

@@MakerHA Thanks for getting back! It would be interesting to see how they made their wooden handles in Israel, and what kind of pommel they have. If I can discover that knife, I'll further that information on to you.

[@MakerHA]

@@williamgunnarsson You're welcome, my friend. Yes, let me know yes I'll be happy to know. a big hug.

[@williamgunnarsson]

@@MakerHA I've tried to locate something on the internet about the Israeli wooden-handled knife. No luck so far, but there is a similar knife made in Sheffield, England for Israel, but with leather handles. Still looking. I'm becoming more and more interested in finding out about that particular knife myself.

Does look really nice but was it made from two pieces of metal welded together ? At the beginning the blank looked like it had a scarf weld in the middle of it ? Don’t think I’d trust that .
