Other than shotguns and pistols, there is a Ka-Bar Marine knife sitting on my dresser. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

Ka-Bar Fighting Knife (Clip Point Version)

 

Ha, I carry that when at work!

[jermz1987 243]

Take your pick.

 

If I had to choose one, I would go with my Ka-Bar Kukri. Attaches to my B.O.B nicely, and came super sharp and sturdy. Ive chopped wood with this thing and have had for a while, Its just as sharp as the day I got it. I Would definitely recommend it. Excellent blade for the money.

I keep a glock field knife on my nightstand. Its got a 6 1/2" steel blade and believe it or not, it is balanced for throwing (I have tried it).

I want a Ka-Bar, it is on my list to santa this year actually I have my M9 bayonet that I carried with me while overseas, that and a block of Henckels knives are in my HD tools.

:icon_e_surprised: This is the next thing we need to tackle. You teaching me how to get better shooting @ USPSA matches has taken a lot of turns. Maybe with this...I'll learn quicker. No mike's and no shoot to worry about.

[voodoodaddy 1]

I'll teach how to slice along the perf....blindfolded

[TommyRuss 6]

I keep an Emerson A-100 on the dresser, as well as a Microtech Ultratech in my "tactical drawer."

 

 

EDIT: pics tonight!

Theres hardly a room in my house that doesnt have something sharp and pointy dangling somewhere. But some of them are more expesive than my HD pistol so I might have to head for the kitchen if I suddenly become inclined to bring a knife to a gunfight!

[Ray Ray 3,566]

OD Green Ka-Bar with a serrated blade. My favorite cutter.

Ray, do you live in a really, really bad neighborhood?

Ray, do you live in a really, really bad neighborhood?

 

Bad enough, why? Are you questioning my Ka-Bar's ability to take care of business? I think not!

[GRIZ 3,369]

This thread reminds me of something that happened in basic training (Ft Dix, 1967). Drill Corporal Kelly told us that if our bayonet was stuck in the enemy to fire a round to help pull it out. I asked "what am I using my bayonet for if I still had ammo". I did a lot of pushups.

No, definitely not questioning your Ka-Bar's ability to TCB! I was just poking a bit of good-natured fun at you, as I visualized the array of handguns, shotguns, and knives on your nightstand. I'm probably just feeling a little inadequate, thinking about my lonely (for now) Glock 23 sitting by my bed.

 

Hey, would that Ka-Bar be a good choice as a utility blade, in the unlikely case of a survival scenario?

[GRIZ 3,369]

You forgot rule #one- keep your mouth shut!

 

Yes but I mad up for it. I broke 2 M14 stocks on the bayonet course. They liked to see you going full power. I also won the company pugil stick competition which took about 5 seconds from my 15 minutes of fame.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

I'm not sure about the Ka-Bar's ability to chop wood or skin game, but I'm sure it'll manage.

[SpecialK 193]

a ka-bar will skin game just fine. If you want to chop wood get a M9.

[Joeybones 1]

Hanwei Tactical Wakizashi. The 20 inch blade is not too long for in the home use. Also a cold steel Laredo bowie.

Ka-Bar Utility/Fighting Knife: In WW2, the Marine Corps requested a fixed blade, single edged knife that could be used for both utility and fighting purposes. The blade had to be thick enough to be used for prying and hammering w/out bending or breaking. The clip point blade was chosen as for its strong tip that had just enough "belly" to be useful for skinning game if needed. There's a reason that it has served continuously since the early 1940's. You can cut, chop, pry, hammer, dig, wedge, skin and wedge it into a cliffside crack and stand on it and it'll keep coming back for more. I have several Ka-Bars that served in WW2, Korea and Vietnam. My own personal Ka-Bar is my go to knife for yard work,walking in the woods and is right next to my browning Hi-Power as backup. You can't go wrong w/ a Ka-Bar.

+1 for Ka-Bar
