Ka-Bar Big Brother Fighting Knife

Great addition to the set

I have owned several knives in the past, from Case to Kershaw, but none have compared to this big beautiful blade. It comes out of the box with the best edge I have ever felt. And the knife seems durable and made of good materials. If I were to have any complaints it would be the handle, it is slippery but still a great handle, the sheath is really good quality but it does seem to pinch the finger of the grip you put on top, and that would be the only reason I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for this. But if you are going to pay that much for a knife, then you might as well go to the source, it's cheaper to get it from K-bar and support them. So you know the money is going to a good cause, and I think it goes to our soldiers. And then there is always the idea of resale, you never know. For those who think the spine of the knife may hurt the back of your hand. I do own the real military knife that has this feature, which I find is annoying. However this "companion" blade, or I don't know what to call it. I would think it would still hurt, but the design seems much better. I don't know if it's intentional, it seems to keep your grip steady on this one, the idea that it is almost a tactical glove with this knife seems much more probable to me. So don't let anyone deter you from getting this knife, it's a work of art, not only does it make me look cool, it makes me look like I know what I'm doing! Thanks Ka-Bar. A+++

Not what I was expecting. More like a hammer with a blade

I love it. It is bigger than the regular Ka-Bar, but not to large to not be used in combat. You can tell it is military grade quality. It feels great in the hand and very easy to sharpen. The veff bevel helps with that. My daughter was with me when it arrived and loved it so much she now wants it for her birthday. You won't be disappointed.

The BIG brother of my beloved U.S.N knife, just the same design only 2-3x bigger.

Awesome! I was surprised that it arrived on time. Thanks for great service.

It is nice knife, made in usa

Knife and box is brand new, excellent for collection

I’ve been deployed 2-1/2 years with this blade, from SEA, the Balkans, Iraq, the ‘Stan, and now Afghanistan. Sharpens easily, edge doesn’t seem to degrade, the plastic hand guard doesn’t seem like the absolute durability it did in the 80s and 90s, but it’s still pretty sturdy. It can definitely do some “hard work” and still has the aesthetic beauty it had the day it arrived on my doorstep in ‘89, and I gotta admit I still love it.

First let me start by saying I have bought knives on-line, Amazon for the most part. I recently came across Ka-Bar by searching online for different brands of knives and styles. I'm glad I came across this page. From first impression it looked good and felt nice and sturdy. It was my next purchase so I decided to take the gamble. Man am I glad I did. It came in nice and sharp and the quality of it blew me away, which to me looks like a great buy for $35!

This thing is just perfect for every day carry and you will love the sharp edge right out of the box! I like to buy KA-BARs as presents and it never gets old. The knife comes extremely sharp and it looks amazing too. It’s well made with the same kind of solid feel as the original and it is a true 1095 carbon steel blade, I don’t see how anyone could be disappointed with this awesome knife!

Well it finally arrived, first day I had it was cutting brush in my fence row and cutting 3 3/4- 4 inches through clean as can be. Then when finished was a bit tuckered from the workout. I don't have all day to make cuts, this did the job fast. My current favorite, this makes the Swiss Marine Models and Buck 119's just mere play things, or trophy knives. Sharpen to bevel, use it heavy and keep the finish, you can't be too careful in field, this will make them nervous if they don't already know.

This knife feels like a quality tool. The finish has plenty of edge and feels good to hold. Very comfortable in my hand, and the steel does a good job of staying sharp. If you like the original Ka-Bar, you will like this one. I think this might be a little bit too heavy to carry all the time. It’s an awesome camping and/or hunting knife though. You will not be disappointed. The sheath it came with seems like quality leather, but it will take a while to break it in. I like the feel of it. A very comfortable grip on the handle and I think the snaps that secure the knife in the sheath will last a long time. This is not going to be the kind of knife you carry on your person unless you are out camping or backpacking.
