Fantastic! 01/01/2023

I bought this short Ka-Bar to be my new daily-carry utility knife. I wanted something more compact and discreet than my main outdoors knife (Buck 124 Frontiersman) and more capable than my typical carry knife, which only provides a three-finger grip and a 2.5” blade (Condor Compact Kephart).

This short Ka-Bar is exactly what I wanted. The grip is perfectly sized to be compact while still providing a full-size grip that fits my entire hand. The Kraton G material provides exceptional traction, even when my hand is wet or greasy from rain, river water, or animal fat / blood. The double guard is large enough to guarantee I’ll never slip onto the edge, while being small enough to never hinder what I’m doing. It is ideal, for my tastes.

The blade is superb. Sized to be extremely versatile, it is suited for any task I might have on an average day. From yard work to kitchen work to camp tasks to whittling, it gets the job done well.

I am very pleased with this knife. Stays on me 24/7!
