## Description

Review: Nice Compact Knife - Too small for a fighting knife but a great Trail knife despite its double guard. As for quality, I'm impressed: constant bevel, straight blade, comfortable handle, and a great sheath impervious to rain. Also a nice balance. Where can you get such a deal in terms of cost/ quality for a U.S.A. made knife today that has some history linked to it ? Thank you, KA-BAR! As for the handle size, yes I thought at first it was somewhat small but it grew on me. I then remembered that despite its military history and double quillion, I wanted to use it as a small trail /hunting knife. That brought me back into perspective. I can guarantee that you can gut out any North America animal with it and it will also serve as a useful hiking tool in the mountain/desert environment. I intend to use it in New Zealand next year on a two month hunt. I collect and use many knives but I wanted one that could stand up to the harsh environment of a temperate rain forest such as New Zealand, or the British Columbian Coast. Because of KA-BAR quality I just bought the larger version in black for a survival type knife in the bush. Cheers, Mates!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic!
*by C***. on June 13, 2025*

Amazing knife. Not too big, not too small, feels great in your hand, sturdy, sharp, maintains it's edge and looks awesome!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife. Great sheath with multiple points of attachment and fastening options. Allows for quick release.
*by D***R on February 3, 2015*

This knife with sheath is exactly what I was seeking. Smaller diameter of the handle so my not-very-big daughter can get a good grip on it. Very good Kabar standards for the blade. The sheath is pretty amazing. Other knife manufacturers would do well to copy it exactly. Why? First, the friction grip holds the knife in place well and makes for easy extraction. Second, as if that was not enough, they provide a snap closure on the top. Third, if that was not enough, they provide a third snap enclosure that crosses diagonally from the back to cross the lower part of the handle. So now you have three points of contact to secure the blade when bushwhacking through dense brush. But you can also release the extra snaps when walking in more open terrain for those occasions when you want a quick release. The kydex (sp?) sheath also provides numerous options for attaching to a belt or harness. Use the standard hang-from-your-belt option when you need it. But with the numerous holes placed on the edge of the sheath you can also attach the sheath to an H-harness or the shoulder strap of your backpack or fishing pack. The numerous points of attachment and fastening options make this the perfect knife to have on your person when moving about in the mountains alone when you might need quick access to your knife. Just a great product. Perfect for my daughter.
