Review: The best knife for the Apocalypse - I am a knife collector who owns a collection handed down to be through 4 generations of my family and wanted to add an iconic knife to the collection..... That was the excuse I told my wife when I purchased this knife. However the truth is that I had binged watched most of the seasons of The Walking Dead and the entire season of The Last of Us and wondered....what would be the absolutely best knife available to kill zombies and survive the apocalypse? After many hours reading reviews, first hand accounts from actual combat encounters they all came back to the Ka-Bar knife. I will be honest, it isn't sexy or pretty. But it is simply a very well-made tool of death. It has a full tang to resist breakage, a slip resistant leather handle, robust finger guard, a surprisingly sharp factory edge and blackened blade. The version I purchased had a very nice plastic sheath that clipped the knife in even without the handle snap. Hopefully I will never have to kill a zombie but if I do, I will have this knife at the ready
Review: Quality And Heritage - Coming from serving for the army for 8 years not active duty, I wish i was issued this knife. That being said, this knife has been unoficially issued to a solider that served and will continue to serve for America. Being manafactured in USA, I am proud to have it on my person every where i go! Along with the history this company holds as well as what it stands for, I am amazed of the quality and history. I have various neighbours family and friends have served in Vietnam combat as well as Korea, ww2 and Golf war, Iraq and Afgastan. All have claimed to this Knife and its brothers in arms variants. USMC, Army, Navy, Coast Guard. Long live Kill a Bear! AKA: KA-BAR!! This will protect the Constitution in the near Civil war when it comes to it as it is the soul of the Free World! Thank All who serve along with All who kept this company alive throughout the years!! Struggle an all! Sgt Matthews 2010-2018 seperated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black sheath, not green.
*by J***. on September 15, 2014*

Mine came with a black sheath, not O.D. green as pictured. Maybe it's just my eyes, but the picture looks like dark OD green to me. I don't really mind what color the sheath is, but someone else might. Knife came very sharp right out of the box, with all lines and angles straight as they should be. Very nice knife and well made. Reviewer who said that the sheath can dull the edge is correct, but that is easily fixed by gluing a thin strip of soft plastic inside the sheath to contact the edge, or just be careful about holding the edge away when putting in or pulling out. Also love that the sheath is ambidextrous for us lefties. Finally, keep in mind that the color of the leather will get darker over time, especially if you handle it with sweaty hands. Almost black after many years. That's not a bad thing, it's just what happens. Overall this is a great knife for the money.
