Don't own any Kabar's as the standard combat knife doesn't really appeal to me but that new Snody Snakecharmer looks awesome

I have to admit the current production knives do look good!

Another update , sorry about the poor quality but couldn't get the light right

Nice update Dunc

Those are nice looking Kabars ! A little rougher looking but I have this great old Camillus that I got sometime in the 80's. Took it on many camping trips in the mountains when I lived in Colorado.

You may be able to buy a better knife.You certainly can buy a more expensive knife.But you'll never be able to buy a knife that has more of an extraordinary history of service to our military than the Ka-bar.

Congratulations Dunc.

It sure is

I had one for a short period , lovely hefty knife.

I've stripped the finish off my user Ka-Bar and treated it with vinegar for a forced patina , I'll post a pic later when I get home

Indeed, I love the BK2 , great Bushcraft blade.

My user started to look all scuffed up so I thought I'd strip off the black finish and use vinegar to give it a forced patina.

Nice job Dunc

I've always seen these as more of a fighting knife than a utility/working knife, and as such never decided to take the plunge. Does the user get much in the way of use Dunc? Any particular chores done with it?

Dunc · **Reply #46 on:** January 05, 2015, 08:23:37 AM

I actually use it in the kitchen for chopping vegetables lol you can get the blade shaving sharp

I also cut a load of carpet up and heavy cardboard. Now I think about it I use it quite a bit.
