Ka-Bar Fighting Knife (Clip Point Version)

Ka-Bar Fighting Knife (Clip Point Version)

 

Ha, I carry that when at work!

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.

+1 to the Kukhri

NEVER bring a knife to a gun fight -

This is what I use.

: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.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

You forgot rule #one- keep your mouth shut!

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?

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.

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

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

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

 

Thanks for the bumpski
