Ka-Bar Warthog

<p>This Warthog was appropriately named (as in the A10 Warthog). It’s a tank of a knife and can take a lot of abuse. The craftsmanship and quality are second to none, and despite the fact that the price has considerably increased due to demand, it’s still well worth it and a lot of bang for the buck.<br /><br />Get it. Great for batonning, chopping, slicing, self-defense, etc.. It’s going into my get home bag.</p>

<p>Awesome bushcraft knife.</p>

One heck of a knife! You can cut tent stakes with it then pound them in the ground with it. Splitting firewood (batoning) would be a snap! The thickness of the blade is unreal, and the handle is perfect. Great knife.

<p>Sturdy, sharp and you get a lot of knife for the money. You really can’t go wrong if you are an outdoorsman and need a bush knife.</p>

<p>what a power house. would not go into the woods or go into any survival situation without this knife. Awesome heavy duty multi tasking knife, From feathering to battoning and anything else you can throw at it. peace of mind with one knife.</p>

<p>Whoever named this thing sure got it right. This thing is weighty, sharp, thick, and mean. Chops like a hatchet, handles like a cleaver. The 1075 isn't my preference like 1095 is, but it's still beyond sufficient.<br /><br />It's ugly as all getout, but good Lord does it do good work.<br /><br />However, what I find lacking is the sheath. It's starting to come apart on me after a couple months of carry. I'm certain it's not real leather - feels more like plastic. I don't understand why the whole thing couldn't have been made out of the same leather they use for their normal sheaths - that would be far higher in quality.</p>

I bought the warthog at the same time I ordered an Ontario Rat-7. I watched several videos showing how the Rat-7 performed, and the warthog performed better or better at these same tasks. It has a well-designed handle that is very comfortable in hand and eliminates hand fatigue when used for extended periods. The large blade shape is unusual, but this blade works well for campsite and bushcrafting.

<p>This thing is a beast. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet but I can tell it will handily do pretty much everything I need it to do. Feels really good in the hand. Not a huge fan of the sheath because it's a little awkward but far from a deal breaker. You won't find anything else this solid in this price range. Could have been a little sharper but it came sharp enough to use. Would buy again.</p>

<p><span class="cr-original-review-content"> Very good construction, a solid addition to the KABAR lineup!</span></p>

<p>It’s heavy, blunt and I returned it as a rock will work as well as this for cutting and is cheaper</p>

<p>I bought this knife because I wanted something big. I didn't expect it to change my life. Not only is this knife big, I used it to bridge a meter wide gap so I could drive my dually across a creek and then used it to leverage a birthing cow into the bed of truck. The hot female dairy owner was so grateful that she married me immediately. At my wedding, the choices of best man, the maid of honor, and the officiating pastafarian minister were all filled by the Ka-Bar Warthog. It was the dula for the birth of our first child, and we allowed it the honor of cutting the umbilical cord.<br />Some years later, while taking the big cabin exit at the Shawnee Bypass, it was sideswiped by a drunk driver in a Bronco II. Tough bastard held on for five days before it went home to knife Jesus and the knife lord in knife heaven.</p>

<p>The product came packaged well. The knife is a heavy duty, well made blade from a good quality steel. I'm not crazy about the sheath that comes with it, but the price point makes it okay. This particular K-Bar is made in Taiwan. I would rather see it from the U.S., but there are very good knives coming out of Taiwan these days. The blade is sharp from the factory. It is wide & of good thickness for camp chores, like cutting, splitting and feather sticking wood for a fire. This knife is a good choice for camp & outdoors, at a great price.</p>

<p>It is not the best bush craft or best anything just a good all around knife! 1095 steel holds edge, in a self defense scenario it is a good slasher but would take a lot of strength to stab unless thrown with force. Basic camp knife oh yea!</p>

<p>Exactly as pictured</p>

Razor sharp, great price , awesome knife .

<p>Haven't used it much, but does the job so far</p>

<p>paid a pretty penny for this, and this is my first ka bar knife. have to say i am impressed by the quality. on par with my cold steel knives. very similar. in fact made in tawain.<br />very heavy knife. heavy, heavy. will take used to throwing the knife for striking wood. need to strengthen the wrists, ha ha. blade coating is great. the handle is great. the sheath is the best i've gotten with a knife so far. i understand that high end knives get great sheaths.<br />this is a workhorse. all i need is a mora or cold steel whittling, shaving knife, and a kershaw or cold steel camp machete for bigger jobs. want to keep the weight down? this will not help you. want to have an awesome knife to do almost any big job? this one is a great option.</p>

<p>Great solid knife. Definitely a lot bigger than I though it would be.(that’s what she said)<br />Unfortunately the sheath it came with is complete trash. I now have to find a local custom shop to make a kydex for it.<br />I’m not sure who was behind the design of the design but they should be fired.</p>

<p>Took it out of the box went and chopped about with it. A week went by then I went a made a little wood carving over two days. It’s such a versatile design and bigger in person. The “hook” on the butt of the handle is awesome for chopping. The blade comes nice and close to the handle so it’s very controllable. I cut up some salmon for dinner (store bought, I’m no survivalist) but it was fine even after all the wood work. The wide blade was actually quite useful to leverage with my off hand. Sheath is leather and cordura or something but it’s great and useable.<br /><br />There’s an awesome video on youtube of a dude using this for all kinds of stuff. Check it out if you’re wondering. This is a great knife for the price and super unique and well thought out.<br /><br />Update:<br />Chopped small tree with it, handles do rub and “hook” on handle bites when chopping with 2 or three finger grip. Still love it though. BUT KA-BAR PLEASE UPDATE IN D2 and with MICARTA HANDLE OPTIONS.</p>

<p>Ohh what can I say about this that has not already been said? Nothing! It's a monster! Get it!</p>

<p>Got my knife today, wow, what a beast ;-) I love this knife and haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Feels great in your hand and came razor sharp. Very large so be cautious if that is not what your looking for. Read some reviews before I bought and agreed with 99%, beeyouteaus. ;-)</p>

<p>Tom Browns Tracker ain't nothing compared to this, best knife I ever own!</p>

<p>You can never go wrong with Ka-Bar. They are incredibly durable, easy to hold in your hand due to the grip & size, and they are sturdy. Bought this as a gift for my nephew and he loves it.</p>

<p>Perfect for chopping, beefy enough for wood splitting and sharp enough for those delicate projects in the outdoors. My only issue is the sheath be more versatile. That's an easy fix. 100 percent happy with this product.</p>

<p>Almost freakish large but cuts like a straight razor and is built heavy and to last</p>

<p>Built like a beast.</p>

<p>What i like most about this knife is that its thick,heavy but very compact...the big handle and the thick blade make a compact knife which makes hard cuts and more precise cuts very easy to execute with better control over your blade.love tge balance and feel of this knife</p>

<p>Exactly what it says...a freaking warthog.</p>

<p>This knife is very wide bladed. It is sturdy and will do just about anything you need it to do. Shipping was quick and got what I ordered.</p>

<p>The KA-BAR Wart hog 2 is a great outdoors knife for the money. Much better than the first design. It's a woods beast. Cant beat a classic company like KA-BAR. It a force to be reckoned with.</p>
