Looks like an upgraded version of the Dogs Head Utility knife by them with that butt cap. Great looking knife. I guess I'm gonna have to get one now. I am a collector, who as of yet, has not got a Ka-Bar, believe it or not. I've been after my brother to give me his old USMC he carried in Nam, but he won't part with it. Can't say as I blame him though, lol. He said it did get to taste the blood of the enemy, and he carried it all through his tour of duty, so it's got sentimental value of a sort, not all good sentiments, but sentiments none the less.
Thank you for sharing that .
Truly awesome of you to do so .
I don’t think I’d part with that either haha .
I have a couple of pre owned knives that I wish could talk .
I got this Ontario Navy Seal dive knife from a real Navy Seal .
I treasure that beauty .
As I’m certain you would too .
Oh ... did you see my follow up video to this ??
It’s about the sheaths .
Highly recommend!!
Tell your brother that I said hello and Thank You .
And a huge thanks to you again .
Stay well my friend 🤠
I also have a kbar that as a aircrew in the Navy in the 60s mine has 5in blade and a hexagon end piece on the handle
Awesome review, good sir! I've been on the fence about getting a D2 Extreme, Straight Edge, but now I am completely sold!! Outstanding!!!!
I wish you all the best with your decision my friend .
I absolutely love having mine hidden under my seat in my pickup .
I don’t really use much ( unless I need to open a package or something ), but it’s just great knowing I have it close by .
You know …. In case I run into a Grizzly or someone worse haha .
Let me know when you receive.
I hope you are as pleased as I have been .
Happy New Year and Thanks for watching 🤠🎆🙏
I have the 1292 with serrations. They are quite useful when cutting stringy and soft material, like vines and garden material, as well as rope, etc. At first I was sorry I got the serrations, but now I feel they add a dimension of usefulness that makes this knife a true all around utility knife. I've also batonned with the serrations; no problem.
Thanks so much for watching.
Yeah not a thing wrong with serrations .
I almost bought the serrated version until this showed up .
I just love that clean plain edge .
I have other KaBar knives with the serrations but I don’t think I ever had the need to use really .
But it will come in handy that’s for sure .
Can’t go wrong with KaBar - serrated or non serrated .
Have an awesome weekend 🤠
Dude I remembered that I wanted to get a kabar and then I saw this knife, I hesitated and bought the original Leather one. In the hind sight I wish I got the extreme kabar because the original one can rust really easy and the leather would get mouldy if the weather is damp, where I lived. The kabar blade shape is just too unique and even after 100 years we are still very much fascinated by the iconic shape. Good video dude!
You are spot on with everything you said .
This D2 Extreme still rides everywhere with me .
I take it out once in a while just to check for any rust or stain issues .
Nothing to report .
Still looks new .
I have it hidden in my truck just in case of a jacking or I run into a Grizzly haha 😂
And the occasional package opener .
Love this knife !!!
Have a great day brother 🤠
I have this one and love it. Not sure why this video popped up from 2 years ago, but glad it did.
You just caught me ready to sign off haha 😂
Oh yeah !!!
One of my absolute favorites knives from KaBar .
This goes everywhere with me ( under seat in my pickup truck ).
I now call it “ the KaBar Road Rage “ . Haha
You know -
For those Just in Case situations…
You never know if you are going to be car jacked , or possibly needing to defend yourself against a crazy insane driver who is filled with that Rage .
Also helps in case I get attacked by a Grizzly 😱
😂😂😂
Seriously- Thanks so much for watching.
I also did another video after I did this one - featuring another optional sheath by KaBar that fits the D2 Extreme perfect-o 🤠
@@tubes5150 love it, and I’m the same as you, I waited and waited until I found a straight edge one. I use the Kabar 1216 GFN/pretend Kydex sheath.
I have this knife, it’s bloody brilliant. When I first brought it, the very tip broke. But I took it to a blade smith and he ground it out. Used it constantly this summer and it never lost its sharpness. I’m talking cutting everything, branches, rope, meat. When I’m out in the back country, it is my everything utility knife.
This has been my EDTC ( every day truck carry haha ).
Goes everywhere with me .
Hidden under front seat .
Love this knife and it’s still as sharp as day one .
I love showing this one to friends , acquaintances.
I think my favorite part is when I tell them it’s made in USA 🇺🇸.
Thanks for watching and keep safe as always 🤠
Awesome knife review cowboy Bob! Just got one myself. I have the one with serrations. Both are awesome knives! Anyway nice video! Thanks! Kenneth Smith.
I’m still carrying this with me everywhere I go .
( just hidden in my truck ).
Ya never know when you will come across a thief - or a Grizzly haha 😂.
Really do like this blade .
One of KaBars best 🤠
Hi Cowboy C Bop. Great looking blades , nice too see you stoked for them . Thanks for a great video , just what the Doctor ordered. Thanks your friend Jim
Oh You got that right !
I am “ Extremely “ Impressed with this beauty !
So Thankful to Ka-Bar for making the decision to improve and upgrade on a blade that was already fantastic.
I wrote to them requesting the D2 Extreme be made into a straight edge .
( as others have too ).
I don’t know if it was already in the works or what but when I saw this available I jumped on it like a fat kid on a cupcake 🧁!!
( you never know about inventory these days ) haha .
Feels great ! Looks Great !!
Not a thing to complain about .
This has definitely slipped into my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives ( for now anyways .... that’s been changing over the past year ).
I intend on using this quite often .
Will it stand the test of time ???
We shall see ..... ( but I already feel that it will ).
Thanks so much for watching- for being here .
Say hello to the family for me .🤠
I have the serrated Ka Bar d2 extreme I’ve drove it through the bottom of a deer feeder to put the hole we forgot to pre cut considering we had to make the feeder last minute because the previous feeder wasn’t in good condition. It held up fine had a small roll in the edge and it came out with some fine file work and a sharpening stone. I’m going to have to pony up and get the straight edged model.👍
Well at least the deer will be fed now ❤️
Thanks for sharing this really nice story .
KaBar might even replace the one that curled .
Would not hurt to write them .
They stand by their products.
Best of luck to you and Happy 4 th 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did you see my dbad War Machine? I thought about this blade but the weight dispersement was the same as the original. I just couldn't do it. You would LOVE the War Machine! It fixes everything wrong with the KA-BARs
Hey ... is this an ad for the war machine haha ?
Oh yes indeed I saw that .
It’s by far I think my favorite in your arsenal.
But I’m impatient and couldn’t wait for Khukuri House to make me one .
I ordered this beauty and had in 2 days .
Been trying to do a video for days but was in a rain delay haha .
I am so impressed with this guy !!
Been hoping that Ka-Bar would finally make this into a straight edge .
That was the only thing preventing me from committing to it .
I like this so much , that this just may be in my Top 10 Al Time favorite Knives 🤠❤️🙏🔪
@@tubes5150 I really like my kabarbut there are just too many design flaws to make me spend on another one. I'm glad its doing you right. Bang on it like a drum!
@@DonnieBAllDay Haha
As Rocky would say .....
“ ABSOLUTELY “ 🤩
Damn, this one has been on my wishlist for a long time now too. Glad to see you like it.
Hey How’s it going ??
Hope you and yours are all well .
Yeah I had the serrated one on my list for quite some time .
I couldn’t fully commit .
So glad I waited .
When I saw the straight edge finally available I jumped on it !
( you never know about inventory these days ).
This is truly an awesome Blade !
Super sharp out of the box .
Looks and feels fantastic!!
I am a bit overly excited about this blade ( probably because I’ve written to Ka-Bar about this ).
I’m just glad that it was in fact Ka-Bar that made the decision to improve and upgrade an already terrific knife .
Ka-Bar is Just so historic ya know ?!
I think this will prove to be one of the greats one day .
Thanks again for watching and Stay safe as always 🤠
@@tubes5150 I am the exact same way, I didn't want the serrated edge either.
I've always liked the traditional Kabar. But I'm really digging the D2 KaBar 💯🇺🇸 It's always good to see you again my friend
Thanks so much RR 🤠
I ( needless to say ), have been “ Over The Moon “ with what Ka-Bar has done with an already fantastic knife .
I can’t believe they took something that has already been such a great success for countless decades , and made it that much better .
I always say “ Don’t mess with Perfection “ haha .
But I’m so glad they did !!!!
As I said in the video , I was really Really Close to buying the D2 Extreme Serrated knife ..... but something kept stopping me .
I wrote to Ka-Bar requesting one made in the straight edge ( as I believe other folks have as well ).
So happy that they finally listened !!
( I honestly don’t know if it was already in the works but I had to bug them ) haha .
Abs low and behold , here it is !!
What’s not to like ??
Perfect Size and Weight .
Amazing D2 Steel ( super sharp out of the box ).
Feels so good in hand ( especially compared to the original).
And just looks so damn cool 😎!!
Either I’m just overly excited about this and blowing it out of proportion, or They really knocked this out of the park !
“ Extremely “ Impressed ( to say the least ).
I think this just slipped into my All Time Top 10 favorite knives brother .....
Only time will tell .
Stay safe as always my brother and I’ll talk to you soon 🤠
Say hello to the family for me .
We gotta play a little catch up soon .
Been too long !
Thanks for the review. I have my dad's old kabar from the 50's which he supposed was made in the 40's. While at camp Pendleton he broke an earlier kabar he owned in two parts at the hilt. My best friend gave me a new classic Kabar at my dad's wake. The modern version seems sweet.
I am so sorry for your loss .
Honestly breaks my heart my brother .
That was really nice of your best friend.
Ka-Bar is legendary....... and yeah they definitely knocked it out of the park with this new addition.
Stay well my friend 🤠
The KaBar perfected for sure! That looks like a quality piece, great review my friend!
The Size is Great !
The Steel is Great !
The Feel is Great !!
The Look is Great !!
And Coming from you , that means the world to me .
I am “ Extremely “ Impressed with what Ka-Bar did ..... Improving on one of their own products , that has been selling for decades upon decades .
BRAV-OH !!!!
Most times you just don’t mess with what already was terrific ( just the history of these knives and the countless times it has saved lives during wartime), for this company to take that Giant Leap and upgrading speaks volumes .
And I’m so glad they did !!
This just slipped into my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives !
Either that or I’m just overly excited haha .
Time will test its longevity.
I will definitely be using quite often .
Thanks so much for watching my friend .
Have a great rest of the week and I’ll talk to you soon 🤠
Great piece....... hope all is well........ winter is here now so I guess it’s time to break the fixed blades out......... you should stop over for a beer I’m over here in south jersey born and raised years ago in south philly!!!!!!
I’ll be there in about 1 hour 20 minutes haha . ( something like that ).
Sounds awesome!
Hey ....,
Someone sent me a really cool Tik-Tok the other day .
It was like the Top 7 best Philly Cheesesteak establishments in the area .
The number one is a place I never even heard of : Johns Roast Pork I believe is the name .
I told my wife and she agreed that that is on our next hit list when we go out .
Ever hear of it ????
I think it’s by the Philly airport.
Stay well my friend .
Cheers 🍻
That is truly an awesome blade!!! Thanks for another amazing video!!
Highly Recommend!!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching .
Stay safe as always 🧁
Ka Bars are great knives! Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for watching 🤠
I've been looking for a knife but haven't bought a new one in a while and I enjoy seeing what's out there so thank you for showing us. Hope you have a great day.
Thank you for watching .
I can’t recommend this one enough haha .
I’m still pretty excited about this beauty .
Are you looking for a basic do all EDC ??
Big ? Medium ? Small ??
Something for camping ??
Self Defense??
I guess it all depends on the purpose.
I’ve been collecting for years and years ( it’s a sickness).
I wasn’t even going to start doing knife reviews to be 💯 % honest with you .
I just admired my own personal collection and showed some friends .
I like doing the TH-cam thing because I have met so many awesome people out there ( never met in person though ).
It’s also a great tool to have when searching for awesome knives .
I do budget Blade reviews to help those save a buck or 2 .
I do the Medium priced range ones and even a few upper echelon ones .
Let me know if and what you are interested in and I’ll try and guide you .
Too many to choose from haha .
But that’s the way uh huh uh huh I like it Uh huh uh huh 🎵🎵🎵
Stay safe as always 🤠
@@tubes5150 I would like to find something that is for protection although I have to look into what my country allows because I seem to remember years ago I had this tiny little knife which an old boyfriend gave to me and it was for the baskets that I used to make when I was at the beach and I happened to have it at work with me and I was told that it was an illegal knife because you could flip it open with a flip of your wrist. And though I've looked at different ones I've always been afraid to order one in case say it got seized at Customs or something so I'd probably have to buy one up here. I'd probably be looking at getting a few I'd like to have a big one but then one that's more multi-purpose. Thank you so very much!
@@curiosidadesextrano Where do you live ???
I’m in Pennsylvania.
And due to stupidity when I was a teen , I have had one or 2 confiscated haha .
Just showing off I guess at the wrong place .
Our laws are pretty easy going though in Pennsylvania.
I’m thinking that police officer wanted my knife for his own enjoyment haha .
@@tubes5150 in 🇨🇦
@@curiosidadesextrano Awesomeness
Love this video!
One of my own personal favs ♥️
Seriously!!
And yes I still take with me everywhere I go ( when driving the truck ).

Awesome review! I just subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you so much !!!
Welcome to the show ❤️🙏🤠🔪
Dog ear kabar. I love it my brother. Congratulations. Another classic from the blade master my friend. Awesome blade. Would make a awesome navy’s knife 🔪. Video rocks brother
Many Many Thank You’s my friend !
So “ Extremely “ Impressed with this blade !
Especially the fact that Ka-Bar were the ones that went ahead and improved their own original design that has been pleasing our military personnel for decades .
I always thought “ why mess with perfection “!?
Low and behold ..., they did !
I can’t say enough good things about this beauty .
Feels and looks awesome !
The D2 Steel is just super awesome ( and super sharp so be careful ).
I am THAT excited about this !
I even wrote The kind folks at Ka-Bar requesting they make this D2 in a straight edge .
I don’t know if that had anything to do with it as it was more than likely in the works ..... but I am so glad they did !
When I first saw this I jumped on it like a fat kid on a cupcake 🧁 haha .
I do believe this is now a part of my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives .
( that list is always changing ).
Definitely in the mass produced category.
I’m sure it will stabs the test of time .
Stay well my brother 🤠
Hey brother I am going to have to set up my TH-cam channel again. I will text you what to look for when I am done. Stay safe my friend
@@donavantew8278 Oh Really ??
Let me know so that I can do a Huge Shout Out !!
@@tubes5150 It’s still under my old name I just had to free up some memory. Stay safe my brother
Nice looking Ka bar. I like the straight edge better too!! Thanks for sharing!🇺🇸🔪🇺🇸
And a huge THANKS for watching 🤠
I’m definitely more into the straight edge but as I said , I was ever so close to buying the D2 serrated one .
Glad I waited 🙏
That thing is built like a Tank! Awesome review brother👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was so excited to finally have my knife prayers answered haha .
Been wondering if they would ever produce this in a straight edge .
When I saw it !??
I hit that purchase now button quicker than you could say “ Knife “!
Haha
Wife didn’t seem to mind ( I must of returned 5 or 6 knives over the last 6 weeks ).
Some good .
Some bad .
This was a must have that I couldn’t resist .
I actually wrote to Ka-Bar requesting that the D2 Extreme be made into a straight edge .
I don’t know if it worked but I sure am happy about this .
Will definitely be using often .
I had to order the Cordura sheath as well .
Want to try that out .
Thanks for watching brother 🤠
Feeling good today ( overall haha )
@@tubes5150 Damn Dude that’s like one knife return a week.
@@tangsoodoarnis4life haha ...
I think I made one trip to UPS ( waited for them all to arrive ).
Maybe 2 trips because I had my daughter run there as well .
They were like a few days apart when they arrived .
As long as I returned them in the 30 day period ( I believe it’s 30 )????
Nice this is one of my bucket list knives . Big brother and a case bowie are some others
It never ends haha .
2,years ago I said “ ok !! There are 8 more must have knives I need add to the collection-- and That’s it “!!
Oh I meant it too !
Well ??
That didn’t work out haha .
Never does .
Kabar do not make any steel. They buy it in just like all the companies. A piece of cpm3v does not cost alot of money. But they charge a fortune for it. 1095 is a good working steel. That d2 version has been around a while. I have one, and is not bad! You have just cut a good strop up!
man.as a kid.3d knife I owned was a ka-bar imitation.molded plastic handle with a rod all the way through.blade welded to rod.sawback.like Vietnam aviator blade my dad carried.my dad made me a mini version of his. stacked leather handle.id love to have those blades again.id like to get a few ka-bars.the black is pretty cool
This knife still is hidden under my seat in the pickup .
I keep wanting to swap it out with the Kabar 1266 .
But I just can’t !!
I really do like this knife !!
That is so awesome your dad hooked you up .
My pop gave me a few pocket knives that were not anything to write home about - but I still have them .
Sentimental reasons .
@@tubes5150 man.at least you still have em.i have a case pocket knife of my dad's.and a uncle Henry tin with 4 folders.im with you.not much into folders but I bet pohls are great
@@wnerko7484 Holy Smokes !!
I need to hit the lottery !
His folders are just fanfreakintastic ❤️🙏🤠🎵🔪
Going to turn me into a folder fan !!
( I have the Espada by Cold Steel -- I thought that was the nicest folder out there .
I was wrong .
Again !!
Haha haha
I have both knives as well👍 I carry the D2 in my truck….
Yes Sirrrrrrrr !!!!
Mine lays under my seat in my pickup .
I’ve shown some vets here and there while at my VA appointments .
So cool because there are many who carried the original KaBar while they served , so it’s nice to hear their feedback on the new and improved version .
I don’t use much but it’s there for those “ Just In Case “ moments haha .
Driving thru the city late at night ya just never know ……
Or a Grizzly could be on the loose haha .
Take care brother 🤠
That is a very nice pick up....Good job.....Love it....Good stuff....
I keep repeating myself in these comments haha .
But I am “ Extremely “ Impressed with this knife and what Ka-Bar has done .
I can’t believe they would take the original blade , and have the courage to improve on it . ( and I’m so glad they did ).
Quite simply, it was already a fantastic blade , right ?
Been selling and still selling for lotta years .
This was the absolute “ Go-To “ blade carried and used by our military for decades upon decades. ( countless lives were saved while using the original KA-BAR).
I’m thinking, with this unbelievable improvement, it will find its way to many of our current veterans .
What is not to like ???
Perfect Weight .
Size is also Perfect .
The Steel is Fanfreakintastic!
And it not only Feels great in hand , but it looks awesomely cool 😎!
This has made its way into my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives .
Either that or I’m just overly excited haha .
Thanks for watching my friend .🤠
Looks like an awesome knife sir I’m glad for you that you got one , stay save and god bless you ❤️
I Extremely like this style !! Haha
Biggest Improvement I’ve Seen on Any Mass Produced Knife .
God Bless you my Brother 🤠
The modified tanto ka bar 1095 will cut that " Johnny " in half! 😮 bet!!! 😢
Rite 😮❤
I can’t argue since I love them both the same .
That KaBar 1266 was a huge surprise!!
Freakin awesome 🤠🙏♥️
Thnxs 4 sharing. Perfection 4 m wld b 1095.
Love That 1095 !!
Makes me wonder why they switched ???????
I mean the D2 is great and all , but their 1095 has never disappointed.
I guess they wanted to try something new .
Anyway-- Awesome blade !
Thanks for watching 🤠
Man I'm really looking at this. Love my other Ka-Bar knives
One of my absolute favorites!!!!
Goes everywhere with me ( it’s under my seat in my pickup truck ).
I don’t use it that much but it’s nice knowing I have something close if I should be attacked by a Grizzly bear sitting at a traffic light haha .
( or anyone else who dares to attack ).
Haha
Crazy thought I know but these days you just never know .
I do love showing a few friends or acquaintances.
They are not really Knife guys so their jaws usually hit the ground once they get a look at this beautiful beast .
Some guys I know at the VA are the ones I really like showing - especially if they carried the original Kabar during their enlistment .
I can’t bring indoors at the VA so I can only show if they are outdoors .
Again … I love their reactions !!
I keep some printer paper in my truck too ..
Love doing the edge test for them .
Does not disappoint!!
One of these days , I’m going to have someone video record me doing my KaBar D2 Extreme video for the vets .
This darn Covid thing must end before that day comes !!
Stay well my friend .
Happy New Year 🎆

She is cool with me bringing in my blades as long as I keep them hidden haha .
But since Covid , that clinic has been suspended.
Can’t wait to get back to some normalcy at the VA .
@@tubes5150 any other favorite blades amongst the vets you bring to show them?
@@isaacs_knives_and_knowledge Sure are …
I’ve showed them some of my customs ( like the Aldo and the Odin blades ), some folders like the Ontario Rat Mod 1 , and this old KaBar J.Bowie Knife that I restored .
( KaBar 1210 I think ).
There have been others but this guy here , the D2 Extreme straight edge , stands out the most .
Probably because I always have it with me haha .
Same here, I've been wanting a D2 extreme for years. But would never buy one because me personally I despise serrations. I use my USMC Ka-Bar as my primary hunting knife, so I have no need for serrations. Last year I almost bought a Ka-Bar Dog's Head because it's sort of resembled the D2 extreme. But I was like no I'll wait another year to see if Ka-Bar actually brings out a plane Edge D2 extreme. And sure enough waiting that one more year paid off.
Oh I know what you mean !!!
I even wrote to the fine folks at Ka-Bar requesting the straight edge .
Don’t know if they were listening or if this was already in the works ( I don’t think I ever received a response unless it arrived in my SPAM , but it was sure worth seeing this finally appear .
I thought I was dreaming !
Even when I placed the order , I was shaking cause I have been fooled before haha .
Low and behold .,.,,.,
Thanks so much for watching !
Let me know when you get yours ( or do you have already )??
I’m anxious to hear other people’s opinions 🤠
Every vid I found so far was just a counter top review and box opening .
Need to put this baby thru it’s paces .

I was going to pick one up a couple weeks ago but then the transmission in my truck decided to crap out so I've got to put any knife purchases on the back burner for right now. But I will let you know when I get around to getting one.

Thanks big man for the support and the brilliant videos....cheers 👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃
Congratulations Brother !!!!!!
You really made my day .
Such a bad ass beautiful blade right there !!
I hope it serves you well my man 🤠🙏♥️
Awsome knife ol'boy! I'm not a fan of serrations on a combat knife either. If I want a serrated knife I'll just grab a steak knife out of the block! Lol
Hahahahaha
Yeah ... I know exactly what you mean !
So glad I waited it out .
Been after this for about a year or so .
Even wrote a letter to Ka-Bar requesting this be made into a straight edge .
I don’t know if they listened but I’m sure glad it is finally available.
( it May of already been in the works but I sure didn’t know about it ).
I tell you like I told others .... “ when I first saw this available I was on it like a fat kid on a cupcake 🧁 “!!

Very Happy my friend !
And just so pleased with this beauty .

I’d be wrong in this case .

That's what we do, right? Then I can get the other knife in a few weeks😂 Have a great day today, brother! Thanks for the review!👊

@@tubes5150 I dig the 1266.. old school, real tanto shaped blade, and will do, brother👊.. I'm definitely going for the D2 this week.. I think 😂 Have a good rest of your day.
The destruction tests on this D2 version are insane.
Haha
It is still holding very well .
What a fun blade !!
Goes everywhere with me ( hidden under seat in pickup truck .... for those Just in Case moments ) haha .
Thanks for watching 🤠
I still can't find a picture of one broken. And have tried hard....
@@dick_richards Great Comment ! Im sure some knuckle head out there will try to go out of there way to try and break one .
But good luck with that . Haha
@@tubes5150 There used to be a bunch of videos of them trying, it seems youtube has purged many more accounts then we are aware....
Interesting times.
I remember one where the guy was jumping on it while it was sideways in a tree, and only almost hurt himself, lol nothing else. And he was givin' er.
Same as that Thompson Voyager penetration video, can't find that anymore either..... lol if i didn't know me I'd swear it was B.S. as well! Lol ;)
God bless.

Made my day brother !!
I think I know what guy you are talking about .
He seriously is going to either hurt or kill him self one of these days !
And he always says “ don’t try this at home -/ safety first “!!

You shouldn’t try that Crap Anywhere !!!

Thanks for being here and for starting my day off with a much needed laugh 😂
Cuts leather like butter.
Haha ...
Did you watch to the very very end ?
Bonus footage haha .
When I previewed the vid , you couldn’t really see me cutting that leather .
Plus that bottle was rolling off the stump so I stabbed it to stay !! Haha
i like that d2 ka-bar more
Hey thanks so much for watching!!
You just caught me here on TH-cam .
Was just doing a little responding to some comments .
Anyway Yeah !! I love this knife !!
It goes with me everywhere ( I keep in my truck ).
I have it for those “ just in case “ emergency situations.
You never know !!
A crazed car jacker will be even more surprised haha ( pray that don’t happen ).
And In case a crazy bear wants to attack …, I’m ready !!!
Haha 😂
Seriously… highly recommend this true bad ass knife .
One of KaBars finest 🤠🇺🇸🔪
Nice.
Thank you 🤠
@@tubes5150 welcome
You convinced me, I caved and ordered one haha
God Bless 🤠🙏❤️🇺🇸🔪
I have a Hinderer Ranch but definitely looking to get one of these.
How is that knife ???
Is it hard to sharpen ???
I don’t believe I have that type of steel in my collection.
Maybe 1 ??????
Gotta double check now .
Anyway - yeah - is it hard to sharpen and maintain a good edge ??
Thanks so much 🤠
@@tubes5150 they're amazing. It's 3V so it's easy to maintain. Strop/hone it before it gets too dull and you'll save yourself a lot of time but it's easy to sharpen too.
@@BibleLovingLutheran I have this Really cool Buck knife that I used for just around the house tasks , that is still sharp as the day I bought it .
It’s the Buck 539 I believe .
Made of this S35VN.
I think that steel compares the best to the Ranch Hinderer .
I’m not super knowledgeable on types of steels but I do have some in that category.
I like to call “ The Upper Echelon Steel “.
Love that Green Micarta too 🤠🙏❤️
Compared to the k-Bar that has been around for generations. This one has to get more of a track record. BUT, I do like this one. I've ALWAYS wanted to own a K-Bar.
Stay safe and healthy my Brother
🔪Blade Family🗡
Oh I know that I will put it thru it’s paces haha .
I am so impressed with the kind folks at Ka-Bar for doing this .
Why mess with perfection ?? ( I always say ).
I’m glad they went ahead and did this .
Nothing beats the classic and the original so a big BRAVO to Ka-Bar for taking that giant leap .
Definitely a huge improvement!!
( I’m just still really ecstatic about this if you can tell haha ).
Definitely found its way into my Top 10 .
Top 5 for a Mass produced blade .
I’m certain our military will welcome no doubt ( some already have ).
Thanks again for watching and stay well 🤠
@@tubes5150 the knife i soo want badly. Is the Espada XL

Gotta be careful with that one haha ( yeah ... I had a little accident with mine ) ....
I wound up with the large because that’s the one Mickey Rourke used in the film “ Expendables “.
It’s still pretty big and bad .
Can’t imagine it any bigger but it does exist .

@@paulmyers9620 I’m thinking Amazon.
They have the XL for $299.00 .
Give it a look see .
I’ve heard those plastic Ka-Bar sheaths will dull the blades. You’d think with a heavy price tag as that knife has Ka-Bar would pair it with a nice sheath!
No dulling to report on my end .
Still razor sharp too . Not once did I hate to sharpen . ( then again I’m not really doing any heavy tasks or anything extreme ).
That Sheath material dulls knife 100%
Morning mate... that's nice alright, but personally, for me, stacked leather handles win everytime.., there is just something about them... 0350hrs in Brissy.. sleep is elusive.. have a great day mate
I really do like those stacked leather handles too .
When I first saw this , I honestly thought it was stacked black leather handles .
I was surprised to see it was actually Kraton .
Still feels great in hand .
So very impressed with this bad boy !
I think it just may be in my Top 10 now ( all time favorite blades in my collection).
Definitely in the Top 5 for a mass produced knife .
I am still stoked as you can see haha .
I wrote to the kind folks at Ka-Bar requesting the straight edge in D2 Extreme.
I have no idea if they listened but when I finally saw this available, I jumped on it like a fat kid on a cupcake 🧁 haha .
( I must of repeated that phrase 19 times now here on the world famous tube ).
Just excited !!!!
Thanks so much for watching my Aussie Brother ... I really do appreciate you being here 🤠❤️🙏🔪🎵
Waited all that time for my Ka-Bar D2 extreme straight edge to come in the mail, I haven't used it on any other tasks at all cuz I wanted to keep it meant but just keep it as an everyday carry I just now tried to shave my arm and it won't even take the hair off my arm this is my first Ka-Bar highly disappointed and I'm not trying to use punctuation
If you are that upset about it you have 2 options ….
Sharpen that bad boy up to the point where it will be shave sharp ….
Or …
Return for a refund .
Not a deal breaker brother .
It’s a pretty awesome knife .
@@tubes5150 it is a pretty awesome knife and I do like it so I guess I had some minor disappointment. Yeah you're right I guess it's just going to have to get sharpened out but I definitely don't want to return it it feels really nice in my hand so balanced
@@nikolas_schreck My Extreme is under my seat In my pickup truck ( shhhh .. don’t tell anyone ) haha .
It goes everywhere with me .
I have not had to put in thru a whole lotta use but I do enjoy looking and holding it every now and again .
I’ve shown a few friends and they are like “ are you expecting to run into a Grizzly “??
Haha
I said “ you never know -- but I’m prepared for whatever shall come my way “.
Enjoy my brother 🤠
I personally prefer the Kydex sheath because of the option to mount it horizontally on my belt, which makes the draw so much more comfortable as someone with long arms
I totally get it !
I use both ( depending on where I’m at ).
One of the absolute coolest blades in my collection!!

A real piece of art..

Hahahahahaha
“ slipping a few gears “???!!!!!
That’s awesome !!!!
Haha I just hung it up last week .
Found it when I was pulling out the Halloween decorations.
I says “ There you Are !!! I thought I lost you “!!!
It’s still up .
I will take it down some day .
Why ?
I keep hitting my head on it every time I walk OUT from the Gazebo ( Never In ).
And oh yeah ......
Love this Knife !!
Top Ten for sure ( for now it is .... that Top 10 of mine has been changing a lot this past year ).
Such a tuff decision to make .
I may have to make 3 separate categories.
Tactical Blades .
Traditional Bowie’s .
Bushcraft Blades .
They are all just so beautiful I can’t stand it !!!!!
Haha haha .
Stay well my friend ❤️🤠🙏
Another beautiful blade! You should save that belt and make a strop.
There is still about 14” left haha .
Is that really something I could do ??
I gotta look into that before I keep going .....
Thanks Vence 🤠
@@tubes5150 Sure! Make a video of it.
Do you have a Dogs head Kabar?...I prefer it to the standard one it has the same profile as the D2 and I just love the way it looks.
I've been on the fence on whether to buy the D2 your video has helped make up my mind to get one it's been on my watch list for a while I guess it's time to pull the trigger👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!!
Just yesterday I had this blade out again ( it’s my travel companion in my truck ).
I get a lot of compliments on this bad boy .
As for the Dogs Head ??
I’m pretty sure I have that one but I’m not 100 % .
I can’t remember if I bought for myself or someone else ??

Hello again …
Did you know that I use 2 different sheaths for this D2 extreme ??
Yes !
The one that came with the knife ( that Kydex type sheath is used as my Every Day carry ).
But if I’m going camping or hunting or just trekking thru the woods , I use this :
It’s also by KaBar ….
Click link - th-cam.com/video/T61KaVkPznE/w-d-xo.html
@@tubes5150 Got both sheaths👍🏻 But I have my eye on a custom leather sheath from 1999evo on eBay🙂
Nice watch! What make?
Ka-Bar needs to make the D2 short.
I’m going to send them another message .
That is a good idea 👍🏻.
( last time I sent them a message , was about this D2 plain edge …. All they were selling at the time was the D2 with serrations ).
They never responded to me ( at least I didn’t see anything )….
All of a sudden ??
There it was !!!!
I think I hit the purchase now button before I even read the entire description haha .
Love surprises 🤠🙏🔪
@@tubes5150 Strange thing is the serrated is $30 cheaper than the plain. I would think that would add cost due to machining.
A short D2 Extreme would be a kickass option.
@@DobermansRock That is funny !!
You are right - you would think that they would spend more time on the serrations .
Should cost more .
Straight edge all the way. Also, this morning I went on a little shopping trip to a fabric store where I bought a 6 foot long by 2 foot wide piece of red felt for $3.50. The red actually matches one of my pocket knife cases. My purpose was to roll up my bayonets and other military knives. I secured it with some elastic tiedowns with hooks Viola.
That does sound absolutely gorgeous ❤️🔪🤠
It's really weird, I usually dislike those serrations but... When I saw it I had to get it. I had the Cordura sheath and didn't get along with it as the bottom strap kept getting in the way, so I took it off but never felt safe with that beast in that sheath. I feel much better with it safely locked in the "Kydex" with that reassuring click. I might have to pick up a fine edge now.
Oh I’m sure the serrations are fine .
I almost bought that one too .
My only question would now be “ Why didn’t they produce BOTH serrated and fine edge at the same time “??!
There are a lot of folks out there who already bought the serrated one .
Oh - I bought the cordura to use in my back pack tactical bag .
Use the Kydex for hip carry .( I posted a follow up video ).
Thanks for watching 🤠

Thanks so much !! Really do appreciate you being here .
It is a fantastic knife ( to say the least ).
I wish I invented it haha ( was very close not long ago ).
I am just thrilled that it was the original company ( Ka-Bar ) that took it upon themselves to create and do the upgrades .
I did write to them at one point requesting the D2 Extreme to be made into a straight edge .
I almost bought the serrated one but glad I waited .
This just moved into my Top 10 ( for now anyway..... as that is always changing over time ).
So what is the search word I need for ebay ???
Just type in “ Custom Knife “???? Is that the sellers name ???
Thanks so much for watching 🤠
Where you find that fountain of youth at brothert?you look 15 yrs younger.those blades look bad ass militant as heck!!!!take care brothert!!!!!!
Twas a very Happy Day haha !!
I am so impressed with what Ka-Bar has done .... Improving on their own product that has been selling for decades upon decades , and they come up with this .
BRAVO KA-BAR !!!
Easily just slipped into my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives .
And thank you immensely for your kind words 🤠🙏❤️
What do you think of the D2 steel? Are you happy with it? Would you have liked the same knife with a different steel?
Great Question !!!
Had this been made using 1095 , I think I still would of bought it and liked it .
The D2 Steel involved on this blade is made in the USA by Ka-Bar .
( they say it’s the best ever ).
I have D2 in other Knives .
Most I really do like but I have been disappointed with a few .
Take care of your knives and you should not have any problems.
I think some D2 is fake IMO .
I seem to have a problem with the D2 from overseas.
Highly Recommend this knife !!
Thanks for watching 🤠
The D2 extreme is a superb knife. It's what I refer to as my Apocalypse knife, because it's the one that I would loop on to my belt if the shit hit the fan. One of the absolute best things about D2, is it's ability to take and hold an edge. By adding the serrated section, it instantly becomes an absolute bitch to sharpen, and removes part of what is so great about the blade. Strengthen wrists and learn how to cut, and you lose the need for the serrations pretty easily.
You continue to show great taste in blades Sir, and glad you enjoy this one as much as I do.
Thank you so much David .
Oh I am “ Extremely “ Impressed with what Ka-Bar has done .
Best improvement I’ve seen ... especially on a blade made by the same company who brought us the original.
Cheers to Ka-Bar !!
Brav-O !!
Oh .... I have to agree :
This too not only has slipped into my Top 10 All Time Favorite Knives , but it too will be on my side when the crap hits that fan haha .
Thanks again 🤠
You dont like switch blade knives??
I did back in the day .
I have similar in my collection but nothing like I had back in the 80’s .
i prefer straight edge as well
My nephew ordered this same knife but he wanted the one with serrations .
( he says it’s great for cutting twine or rope or something ).
So I guess as long as he really needed for his intended purpose , that’s still cool .
Either way - still a pretty awesome blade that I use daily .
One of my favorites 🤠
@@tubes5150 if it only came with serrations, i'd probably still get it,, i have a few knives like that,, but straight edge is just easier to maintain
@@woofman4796 Yes I agree big time .
It was close …. I even sent messages to Kabar wondering if they would ever make this as a straight edge and they never answered .
( at least I don’t think they answered ).
I was so surprised to finally see the straight edge available.
Maybe they wanted to surprise me ??????

Personally I would never carry D2 in the field. Way too brittle and a bear to sharpen in my experience. I wish they would make an actual full tang version of the 1211 though
I haven’t tried to sharpen this yet .
Have not yet needed to .
Been using off and on and the edge is still like new .
Then again ...I’m not skinning deer or anything.
Just basic use .
