What do you guys think of ka-bar knives?

I've never liked them they are too big for me liking.

I have a perfect stacked leather handle drop point 4.5" that dates to earl 1930s. Almost exactly like my dad's but his had finger grooves in handle. It's a wonderful knife, great balance and feel, and keeps a blade well. Not stainless so care has to be used storing it dry and oiled or it will get pitted.

Great fighting and survival knife.

Still looking around the house for mine that I acquired in 1970.

I'm not a fan of the Ka-Bar designs / prices and have never purchased one as a matter of personal preference. They seem to be sturdy and well made though.

I've got one Ka-Bar and its alright. I think for the same money there are a lot of good knives out there.

Like most of us, i have a collection of knives, I do not have a Ka-Bar, one of my buddies has one and loves it, I have a knife of similar design, very hard steel holds a nice edge, and is very heavy, I have used it to split wood. I can not remember where I got it, sometime in the early to mid 70's.

Great knife for the tool shed.

Used to be good. Sometime in the 90’s, they seemed to drop in quality,I moved on to CASE and never regretted it.

Most people think Ka-bar only made military knives. Nope! Everything from folding knives to fillet style. Like just about everyone else, they make junk (stainless stuff from Japan) and something better if you want to pay for it. Their leather stacked handle knives made today are junk in my opinion.
