Ka-Bar Dog's Head Utility Knife

The Ka-Bar Dog's Head Utility Knife features the legendary performance of the military Ka-Bar with some minor changes making it more suitable for a civilian setting. Specifically the blade and sheath are marked with a Dogs Head and Crossbones in the area that would normally have a USMC Insignia. Awesome version of the Ka-Bar that will be appreciated by all who handle it.

It's a solid kbar without a military angle

Review by Jamila I.

I've had this for a bit but not used it excessively. It is a good value for knife and the little dog head branding is cool. It's still crafted in NY . It has a great hand feel, I find myself just messing around with it sort of absent mindedly. Still it is fairly large knife for me to justify carrying. The rat tail tang is why I have it 4 for sturdiness

Good quality

Review by Rosevelt T.

A very tough knife. Took a lot of neats foot oil and some sanding to soften a few edges. Sharpens easily and holds an edge. Had to stretch the snap strap keeper.

I take this fishing with me, I was surprised how easy it was to gut even smaller fish with this knife. It’s just heavy enough to give a good whack too.

Ka-Bar Dogs Head Utility Knife

Great purchase

Review by Cornelia J.

Perfect knife. It's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted the KaBar but did not want to carry the one stamped USMC since I did not earn it. This is just enough knife for most bushcraft and romps through the deep woods. Sheath that it came with is very snug knife will not fall out. Even with the snug fit the sheath still comes with secondary clasp to ensure the knife stays secured. I would recommend this knife for anyone looking for good bushcraft tool or shtf.

awesome

Review by Shanyce L.

i have several ka-bars and hands down i love my dogs head . i cant find anything wrong with this knife .made in the USA !!!! i jazzed mine up a bit with a Holtzman's Gorilla Survival Fire Starter Gift Set Emergency Ferro Rod Kit W/Leather Sheath. another great bush craft ferro rod. the sheath is well put together ,had to oil it but that's not negative . i recommend this knife , it my second dogs head . also the negative reviews are made by people that doesn't know what's in their hands. these are sturdy knives and if you break it KA-BAR will send you a new one no questions asked . this is a great knife. there's a lot of theories about the name .ive heard a couple but in my opinion the first one is the pummel is shaped like a dogs head. its up to you go out on YouTube and check it out. i love this knife defiantly my most favorite KA-BAR in the collection.

Not your usual online mall ninja stuff

Review by Kamilla B.

Very well made. Took it out of the box and it was sharp enough to shave with. And that’s not a metaphor- I did. It held an edge the whole time, so the metal is higher quality than the usual online crap. The stacked leather grip is nice- the balance is gonna take some getting used to but I’m used to cutting with basically disposable folding serrated blades.

Great Knife

Review by Cynarra J.

Retired Military . I have 2 kabars. One is pretty old . I'm glad to see the quality of craftsmanship is still there. This a a fine knife. I like the design. Handle is the traditional stacked leather. A little smaller in diameter than my old Kabar (military issue) . Razor sharp out of the box.. Sheath is a made out of what I would consider "flimsy" leather, but it is functional. Will make my own sheath anyway. Overall Great knife

It’s weak

Review by Ada Z.

The blade bends at the handle very easily, I hope the military issue knifes are better made than this particular one because it’s not worth the 80 bucks

Perfect for civilian use.

Review by Janay I.

Like some that bought this knife I love the classic Kabar knife design but felt off with a military branch logo that I did not earn. Thankfully Kabar made this knife with their classic dog head logo and added a different cross guard and pummel. Overall this knife is a good generalist knife even though it comes from a fighting background. Hunting, camping, bushcraft, hell even fishing, it’ll get the job done. It comes with a sturdy leather sheath that if you angle the knife wrong it will come through it. (User error on my part) In a sea of good affordable knives all around, this is a solid pick. Even though it is a user, I would dare say that this knife is heirloom quality and will last for generations if treated with respect when used.

It's a Ka-Bar

Review by Karla X.

There isn't much to say that hasn't been said already. This is a full-size Ka-Bar tweaked for the working man rather than the fighting man. All the quality you would expect from an American icon, and more. The cro-van 1095 keeps a wicked edge, and even when it loses it, it's just a joy to sharpen. This makes my 4th Ka-Bar variant, and I do believe it's my favorite - just a hair above the Mk 1.

Expensive for what you get but awesome

Review by Nahjee T.

Pretty awesome knife, heavy and fits my hands good I got 7.5 in long by 4 in wide so it a great fit. Fits comfortable on belt. I would recommend for light camping use, self defense but I would use something like a cold steel metal handle for heavy use with like hammering and wood splitting. I am afraid the leather handle will wear dwn under heavy use. Other than that great knife.

It's a Ka-Bar

Review by German M.

It's a Ka-Bar made in the USA and has the craftmanship to show for it. I own quite a few knives ranging from super cheap to much more expensive than this but I'd trust my life with this knife more than some I've paid 3 times as much.

just what i wanted

Review by Christalyn N.

use this when hunting. sturdy as it should be, i mean it is a kabar. i had to pry the lock clasp off of my hunting stand as i forgot the key to lock. This thing did it with ease. I carry it everywhere with me. Tried several other brands of knives, nothing took the abuse this thing has. And ive only had it a couple weeks. Drove tent stakes with the back end. Not the best tool for every job, but can do everything ive thrown at it so far. Thinking about getting a couple more.

Dog Poop

Review by Zakari A.

I baught this because I didn't want to risk destroying my grandfather's Ka-Bar that he carried in the Korean war. The knife is ok, looks and feels like a Ka-Bar for the most part. The sheath however is absolute trash. I feel like the knife could easily go through my leg if I sit wrong or put the knife away too fast. I don't recommend this knife for that reason. I'd recommend getting a Ontario RAT 7 instead...Very disappointed.

Great knife, mediocre sheath

Review by Everlina C.

I collect Ka Bars and this one interested me. Different pummel, and different logo. While I served in the Marines, I do like the fact this one is different. I'd recently bought another Ka Bar, and it was decent, to include the sheath. This sheath disappointed me. It was mediocre compared to any other Ka Bar Leather sheath I've seen, and even the knock offs. But I decided to dye it with Oxblood dye and rubbed it Carnuaba Creme and it's a bit better looking. The defect is the sheath wasn't properly finished. The top of the front portion of the sheath has a roll and wasn't properly finished. The sheath portion that should be straight, isn't it was rough cut and not finished at all. About three necessary steps in finishing leather were NOT done.

Quality American made knife.

Review by Antonio S.

Beautiful knife, came with a very sharp edge, handles well, the handle is a little bigger than I expected but thats not a problem at all. The tear drop shaped pommel is a nice touch over the standard KBAR, as well as the offset crossguard. It is a quality made knife. The sheath seems to be solidly built for a standard leather sheath.

Great product and service

Review by Aaryn Y.

My first KA-BAR and I love it! This knife was recommended by an active USMC friend. He was absolutely right about it being a great knife! Sharp out of the box, great quality, genuine leather sheath; i highly recommend this knife! Seller shipped immediately with no problem and delivered a great product. I liked this one particularly because it has the dogs head emblem. There are knives/sheaths with armed forces emblems on them but I did not serve this great country and did not want to be disrespectful to our brave soldiers that did serve. This emblem is perfect for me. Thank you!????????
