    Ya know, Its refreshing to see a video with someone showing that kaBar is a great knife and to see so many positive comments. I cant tell you jow man times people hate on ka-Bar and i feel like its similar to why people hate on glock, sometimes people dont like something because its popular, and its often popular because of its reliability and practicality. Anyways great to see! Thanks for video god bless 😀❤

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mean the classic kabar Is a great knife and deserves credit. It might be oversized for a lot of people these days, but it's phenomenal for its intended use. Thanks

    • @milesoster3122
      @milesoster3122 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@KnivesFAST yeah I agree, what I've seen is alot of videos saying the tang is weak and bends but they they do so pretty extreme stuff to them in the process that it wasn't intended for so that's not the knifes fault. Personally I think it goes great in everyone's collection. I don't think the military would use them if they weren't dependable 🙂

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Understood. It's definitely a great knife but I hear you. Thank you

    @chaddamron3877 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Classic-- bang 4 the buck can't be beat - and as far as cheap beater/ work pocket knife - dozier - all around great blade -- killer review amigo

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agree on both. Love the dozier too. Thanks.

    If it ever gets loose just smack the pommel and it’s all tight again. I have both the new Ussf kbars and my original Usmc I purchased at boot camp in 2000

    A USSF model in black coating and stacked leather handle? That's so odd! You're the lucky one, sir. I'm a big fan of KA-BAR 1271 Fighter, a modern version of the USMC we've been in love with for ages. It's got a slightly wider tang (0.725 inch) compared to 0.531for the USMC. Only the 1271 and 1245 Tanto model have the wider tang, so it's a little more robust than the regular KA-BARs. Worth checking.

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting for sure. Thank you for the information. Yeah this was a exclusive with Smoky Mountain Knife works I believe. Thank you so much

  • @MyKnifeJourney
    @MyKnifeJourney 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ka-Bar's just work. I like the classic fixedblade aesthetic.

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's exactly right. Good stuff. Thanks

  • @pennsyltuckyreb9800
    @pennsyltuckyreb9800 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Strip the coating, convex the edge, and cut and round off the top guard.....Then you really have something special for a hunting and woods use blade! 👍

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that would be good for sure, but I'll just use it like it is. Ha. Thanks.

    I bought a BK-9 I didn't remember what I used in the service. Turns out after looking at pictures I used Case-XX Bowie. My BK 9 is LNIB with a kydex scabbard. I would trade it for a Case-XX Bowie

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well there you go. Hopefully you can find one brother. That would be cool. Thanks

  • @2873lonewolf
    @2873lonewolf 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Where is the Liong Mah unboxing that you have text at beginning of video? Also, is your leather conditioner a special chemical that treats leather thats coated with shellac? Just curious how you plan to do that.
    Of course i'm giving you a hard time as usual.

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, dang it I can't believe I did that. Yeah that's the kind of thing that happens sometimes. Thanks for pointing it out now I won't be able to stop thinking about it. And I don't know man All I know is it was real dry and I tried to make it not dry. And it worked. Thanks

  • @ricev7071
    @ricev7071 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the look of that Kabar USSF knife, comes in an unstamped sheath and just says Kabar like the original. I got a Kabar USMC, ditched the USMC sheath, bought an unstamped plain leather sheath because the Originals did not have all those markings on the sheath unless it was a Nord fiberglass sheath, and besides, I never served so I am unworthy to wear something that has a USMC, or any branch of the military stamped or embossed on the outside of it in plain view.

    • @KnivesFAST
      @KnivesFAST  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude I love your attitude man. That is so cool that you did all that. Respect is awesome. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you enjoy the knife and the video.
