The Kabar is a fine tool. They have been successfully used for generations with no issue. I have used one to survive for a year in the Bush myself. Our ancestors left their tangs soft on everything from knives to swords. A hard tang was not wanted nor was it necessary. They understood that a bent tang can be straightened & a broken one has to be reforged &/or reground.
LOVE my KA-BAR Knives Scab! I've been lucky enough to have several. Not only are they iconic, they're also damn good knives!!! Great video too bro ❤...
i am very impressed what the Ka bar is able to do in a Mans Hand that knows what hes doing , and your that man for sure my Brother..awesome Review and much love to you and the Queen Megatron
The first new big knife I bought after Navy boot camp over 20 years ago at the exchange was a k-bar next generation in 12c27. Bought the 1095 USN version of the knife a couple of years ago to go with it.
I found a BK7 with a melted handle in the dumpster at work from crap cleaned up from a hobo camp near the University I work at. I bought a new handle for $30 and sharpened it. Great knife!
Great review on the Ka-Bar, USMC knife. I own several Ka-Bars the first one I ever owned my father gave to me which was issued to him when he was in the military in the 1950s I’ve never had any issues using the Ka-Bars. The Ka-Bar is more than a knife. It’s a piece of Military history. I know there’s a lot of Ka-Bar haters Saying you can’t depend on Ka-Bar in a survival situation hell in a survival situation, I’d make a old hickory butcher knife work , like you said Scab it’s all in your skill set and how you use a knife. Have a blessed week my friend
Brother at the end of the day I just feel like it boils down to skill set over everything. Are there better options well sure but that doesn't mean it's a bad one. Bro I hope you have a great week
Facebook logic; If you go into the woods with this knife you're going to die. Hahaha! This thing really is a great hunting knife. While it's not a "fighting" knife, I sure as hell wouldn't want it in my ribs.
@blackout.ghost718 No it wasn't. It was made as a utility knife. It came from a hunting knife platform. It was never designed to be a "fighting" knife.
Brother, great video. There are many better survival knives out there but there is nothing wrong with the great old KaBar. I have used KaBar knives since the 70's and have never had one fail. I enjoyed the video very much.
The Kabar is stronger than most you tube experts give it credit . The knife is fine as long as your not beating pipes or prying car doors open . Cold Steel Leatherneck is a good budget alternative .
Here's the truth of the matter and nobody would ever admit this there is a strong undercurrent of hate for American made knives don't believe me look at what gets broke the most. And it has nothing to do with the weakness of the steel but it has everything to do with the type of test it's always been amazing to me how certain quote unquote knife reviewers treat certain knives compared to their continent's favorite
Well said brother! I love the knife! I have a similar one to do a use video on. I also barrowed a Ka Bar from a buddy. Will make a video on it soon. Not hard use since it's not mine.
It knifes as a knife should. It's much less expensive than similar knives as well. What makes it a good combat knife to me is the amount of torture it can endure. Yes it needs frequent sharpening and they often come rather dull but it's very capable to do any reasonable task and I would trust it to do whatever I need to do with it. Great demonstration.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that knife. I would get a knife and take it out and test the hell out of it (But) why would I do that when I have a Scab to do it plus I know when I head to the woods with a knife you tested I have peace of mind knowing I won't have a problem. Great Vid and it did how I thought it would.
Like these knives but i'd love to see them offer a 'left' handed sheath also . But i love the leather in the handle and sheath... great jobs on the weight loss, everything in life is easier when leaner
I’ve had Kabars since the early 90s and use them religiously for a long time. I don’t use them anymore but when I see stupid comments about kabars being garbage it makes my eyes roll. I’ve absolutely beat the hell out of my kabars and they ain’t garbage
Love my Ka-Bar it's served me well through 12 years military service in 2 different branches of military service. I agree I wish had a full tang but it did great for me... i wish the BK-7 or BK-9 was a thing back when I joined i might have bought one of those instead.
A Kabar Short version with leather sheath ages like fine wine . It's one of the coolest looking EDC"s, The Dogs Head edition has no top guard for better thumb placement. If someone wants one for outdoor camping stuff, that's the one I'd go with.
Enjoy that knife, brother! 👍 The KA-BAR is THE classic soldier’s utility knife. All those KA-BAR haters are the same who bitch and moan about a dozen other knives with which they have no real world experience. They’re the same folks who would piss on a Victorinox or other multi-tool/folder because they can’t baton it through a 14” diameter piece of seasoned oak. While they’re standing on the sidelines 💩💩’ing all over themselves based on unrealistic, silly survival hypotheticals, the rest of us will continue forward.
Actually skill set will help most of the other problems with ka bars.. that was the point of the entire video I did everything I would ever do with a knife and it held up fine
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors hell yea, it amazes me that some guys don't understand that there's different knives for different applications. Working in the bush; I've seen plenty of misused tool and it hurts my soul seeing a blade destroyed by a fool lol great video, bro
Man it's pretty light. And here's the deal this is kind of crazy you ask this I actually put it on my belt the past two nights I have a couple of these so I wore my old one a few nights in a row and I wore this one last night on my walk I walk for an hour every night and honestly it rides pretty well it tends to drift towards the back if that makes sense
Thanks for the review. I guess you call this a proof of concept video… proof if you use a tool within its proper context it can prove to be a good tool indeed.
Man I love not giving a F@#k about Kabar hater idiots...I like the look, smell feel of Kabar knives...the knife did fine my brother...on test and in an emergency...my modified Tanto is next..
If the damn thing worked for the USMC for decades, if it worked for Blackie Thomas for...decades in the woods then it'll work. Now if the Marine broke one, you found another, probably on the body of a fallen brother, which increased its value. But if WE break ours we gotta buy it. So I dont😂 To me it'll do what you did here and that's plenty for me. Im not military . I was disqualified due to CP from birth. Actual physical disability. But I support the military members of our nation, love and honor them. So I buy the knives they are issued if I like them. Are there better. Yes. If they made a larger KBAR in 3V, even better
They did for me what I could not do for myself and wanted to do. My father, my uncles, two of my best friends and my son all served. I wanted to be a Jarhead and couldnt. So regardless folks of political BS, I support THEM and my country

Nothing above zero! Great job on the weight loss, looking good,keep it up Scab!
I've had mine for almost 15 years now and it's the most versatile fixed blade knife I own. Tough, sharp, and keeps it's edge!
I'm going to say that was the best Ka-bar USMC review I've seen yet. Perfectly said!
100% appreciate you
i am very impressed what the Ka bar is able to do in a Mans Hand that knows what hes doing , and your that man for sure my Brother..awesome Review and much love to you and the Queen Megatron

Buying a knife is never, ever a waste of money.
Love your channel brother.
Appreciate you my brother!!
Unless it’s a gas station knife 😂
The Kabar and the old "pilot survival knife" are both vastly underrated if it's used right
I don’t care what anyone says I still like the looks and feel of the K-Bar. No it’s not the perfect knife but it’s an icon. Stay safe my friend 👍👍
Damn straight brother I am with you 🙏🙏
The Kabar will do almost all what we need it to do as nice vid to show it....Good stuff....
Always enjoyed my Kabar , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Well let me tell you what brother! It held better than that 3V Buck you tested some time ago! Great video! Semper Fi!!!!!
I found a BK7 with a melted handle in the dumpster at work from crap cleaned up from a hobo camp near the University I work at. I bought a new handle for $30 and sharpened it. Great knife!
Nice!!!

The old rib tickler.. you know what we ought to do is get a bunch of cheap knives and just do damn good reviews on them because we can
Facts!!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors why? Because we can
@blackout.ghost718 was made for utility
@blackout.ghost718 No it wasn't. It was made as a utility knife. It came from a hunting knife platform. It was never designed to be a "fighting" knife.
Brother, great video. There are many better survival knives out there but there is nothing wrong with the great old KaBar. I have used KaBar knives since the 70's and have never had one fail. I enjoyed the video very much.
The Kabar is a time tested design if it didn't work it wouldn't still be around. I still aim to get a Kabar myself at some point.
The Kabar is stronger than most you tube experts give it credit . The knife is fine as long as your not beating pipes or prying car doors open . Cold Steel Leatherneck is a good budget alternative .

I really like the Buck 120 and 119.
420HC steel , not S35VN.
Excellent knives.
Well said brother! I love the knife! I have a similar one to do a use video on. I also barrowed a Ka Bar from a buddy. Will make a video on it soon. Not hard use since it's not mine.
been looking forward to this video since u announced it. awesome. very capable knife
I have always loved the Kabar. I like the way it looks, and if you do reasonable knife stuff with it, it will hold up just fine.

Love ya brotha glad you're doing this for yourself
At the end of the day brother it's all that matters... If ya don't believe in what you are saying it's all for nothing
I’ve had Kabars since the early 90s and use them religiously for a long time. I don’t use them anymore but when I see stupid comments about kabars being garbage it makes my eyes roll. I’ve absolutely beat the hell out of my kabars and they ain’t garbage
Excellent video and knife!
Thank you my brother 🙏
42 yrs woth a kabar 3 deployments hunted fish weeks at a time treking ill stay with it
I'm surprised I don't own that knife. Thanks for the video brother #22ADayNoMore

According to TH-cam Logic, if you're going to be lost in the woods, you'd only have 1 knife and 0 other cutting tools! 😂😂😂
I will tell you, you are a true gentleman. This knife is just fine😀😀
Thank you my friend!
I like the blade shape, I like the handle. For utility use, it's probably fine. I just thing that they could upgrade the design by adding a full tang.
Hell yea Scab! The USMC is a good knife and that’s a fact.👊💪🔥🔪🇺🇸
What's up Frank!? I know you love this blade, I've seen your kabars
The Kabar extreme d2 is really where it's at.
I like this video, bro!
Very cool vid brother😊
Thank you for some sanity on this topic Scab!
Brother we give every knife a fair shot.. and we are going to bring common Sense back
XXLARGE to you and Megatron, fam. 💙🙏🏻👊🏻🌚🐱
Much love my brother
I’ve always liked Kabar knives…where’s the Amazon link “Big Dawg?”
A Kabar Short version with leather sheath ages like fine wine . It's one of the coolest looking EDC"s,
The Dogs Head edition has no top guard for better thumb placement. If someone wants one for outdoor camping stuff, that's the one I'd go with.

Amen brother Amen 🙏🙏🙏
We have to bring common sense back into this thing!
Truth
Awesome video brother is that the 5 max in your pocket
It is indeed brother
Scab you could review Chinese knives and make it entertaining. I appreciate your thoughts on blades.
Puttin' in the work
WOW it IS Sharp!! Love KaBar.. They are looking Good Lately.. John Stitt is on top of his Game..
This might be one of the sharpest ones I've ever gotten from them
Very well said! 👍
Thank you thank you 🙏🙏
As long as you like it money well spent
Excellent knew this would do just fine. People just love to hate on it for no good reason.
Well it takes a little bit of a skill set and I think that scares people
They are pretty decent knife. Especially coming from the era of time it came out
Eh... Year 5 is about going super Scab Petty mode
I love kabar fixed blade knives I have the 1211 which is like the u.s.m.c and I have the bk9
I wished Kabar made a g10 or micarta hidden tang version instead of just kraton or leather.
The key to using any tool is knowing its limitations. The Kabar certainly won't build a log cabin but will do fine with a lean-to.
Absolute facts brother
Sold! 👍❤️🇺🇸
It actually held up well
Halleluieah!!! Jump like you got a bullfrog in a blender full of milk!!! K Bar!!!
Getting close to that 100k 😁
We are within spitting distance!
the kabar D2 extreme is the answer to most problems with the other kabar models
Actually skill set will help most of the other problems with ka bars.. that was the point of the entire video I did everything I would ever do with a knife and it held up fine
I do like that d2 version a lot though
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors hell yea, it amazes me that some guys don't understand that there's different knives for different applications. Working in the bush; I've seen plenty of misused tool and it hurts my soul seeing a blade destroyed by a fool lol great video, bro

Awesome video today you killed my guy

Thank you for the countless sacrifices. You will forever have my Love, Appreciation, and Respect.

The rat tail tang isn't an issue because it's not a survival knife, it's a fighting knife, it's like expecting a stiletto to be good for wood carving
Did fine
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors It's when you start trying to use a knife as an axe that the issues start
@@Somerandomguy2998 100% agree brother
Kbar is just fine. 7" of US steel for every utility you can throw it at.
Honest Question
How does it feel on the belt.
Is it light or dose it feel clunky on the hip?
Man it's pretty light. And here's the deal this is kind of crazy you ask this I actually put it on my belt the past two nights I have a couple of these so I wore my old one a few nights in a row and I wore this one last night on my walk I walk for an hour every night and honestly it rides pretty well it tends to drift towards the back if that makes sense
I'm Scab and Yer Not!

XLNT Reveiw brudda!
I like k bar
Thanks for the review. I guess you call this a proof of concept video… proof if you use a tool within its proper context it can prove to be a good tool indeed.
I'd rather carry an ESSE 6 into the woods. I'd rather have this on my belt for defensive purposes. Every tool has a purpose.
Seems like a winner to me.
It was pretty good I got to say
Fucking love this man lmao
I’m sure Kabars have killed quite a few people in fights. 👊🏼👊🏼
Yeah man, almost every marine I've met has at least 3 confirmed knife kills. No doubt.
@@jasonhawkins6888a lot of stolen valor out there these days.
Kabar would break the internet and the sun would rise in the west if they made this knife in a full tang.

Always a KABAR between the seats of my pickup!
Hell yeah brother
Man I love not giving a F@#k about Kabar hater idiots...I like the look, smell feel of Kabar knives...the knife did fine my brother...on test and in an emergency...my modified Tanto is next..
Im super damn jealous of that one you got man.. got a wicked look to it
