Ka-Bar Knives?

[Guest eyebedam]

So are the knives any good? Ive never owned 1. I been thinking of a new EDC knife & was leaning towards a Benchmade Griptillian but saw a few pics of a Ka-Bar Hawkbill knife that really caught my eye.

Thoughts?

How could generations of US Marines be wrong?

Have one! have used it fer everything else but a knife, and a knife too. Has given good service.

Wasn't there just a thread on this a couple weeks ago? I have two, love em! But if you want the K-bar bowie, see it in person first, the online image everyone is using is distorted, its MUCH thicker and uglier than in the picture.

good point, the only K-BARs now made in US are the classic military looking ones, the resy are made in Taiwan.

Not exactly so. I don't know exactly which ones are and are not, but I have the Ka-Bar camp knife (bought in last 6 months), and it is made in USA.

Also have the 9" blade Bowie, and it is indeed made in Taiwan.

The Hawkbill Tanto I saw referring to is made in Tawain

I don't know about their entire line, but the good old Marine K-bar is one rugged hunk of steel.

I would love to find a USN MKII at a good price.

Best price I have seen on a K-bar lately is in the surplus store up in Monteagle, $40 brand new, US Army commemorative (sheath has all the fancy junk, but knife is plain except a stamped "US army" just above the crosspiece).
