KABAR Knife, USMC Part Serrated with Leather Sheath, KA-1218

Solid! 09/22/2020

Solid quality on this modernized version of the iconic Type 2 Combat Utility Knife. I went with the serrated version for more utility when camping or other tasks (besides killing a bear or fighting a wildcat). I would recommend getting the extra plastic sheath. The knife locks securely into it & provides a means to quickly & safely draw it, without having to unsnap the handle strap. The only negative part I have found so far with this knife is that there are plastic spacer pieces at the pommel and guard ends of the handle. It is high density plastic and I doubt it will ever crack or degrade, but I wish they would have used leather pieces instead like some other makers do. I highly recommend the sharpening service. These guys are experts and my knife arrived razor sharp with a perfect edge that I doubt I would have been able to achieve. 5 stars for a solid knife but also for the great service and fast shipping of Knives Plus. The knife was sharpened & shipped within 2 days of my order!
