this is the best knife that i have ever owned mine has many years of use i ordered a new one recently just to keep my older one for the sentimental value i have had my other one for 5 years since i recieved it from my grandfather who passed away and we both have put it through hell and it is still going strong the only reason i ordered a new one is because of this very low price i suggest that every outdoorsman buys at least one of these

Hands down, this is the undisputed King of Knives. This knife will save your life in the face of a villain or an unforgiving wilderness. Buy one, buy two, buy three. Keep one in your truck, keep one in your bug-out-bag, keep one in your home.

Good looking, nice size, fits in your hand really well, it's the perfect knife. They sell these for seventy bucks at the gun shows 'round these parts. Great deal Too!

This is an awsome knife. It is very high quality. I absolutely love it. It is one of the sharpest knives I've ever seen, and it is definately my favorite knife that I own and I have many knives. It is well worth the cost so if your looking for a high quality knife then this is the knife for you.

Wow! I've had this knife for over two years! For starters, it's beautiful! The knife is rugged and proven in combat. I've put this knife through hell and a few goes with the sharpener and its ready for action once again! It fits great in your hand it is perfectly balanced and perfectly priced. This blade holds a wonderful edge. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Theres no doubt that this is one of the best knives ever conceived. Looks menacing, incredibly durable, and proven in combat. You should buy this knife for whatever price, but with the incentive of it being only $49, every knife enthusiast should own one. I DO OWN THIS KNIFE.

Simply put the best knife in the world. I will never trade it for anything! I recently came upon an overturned truck in a very rural area of Texas. We were so far off the beaten path it took over an hour and a half for the fire department to arrive. Some other bystanders and I stabilized the injured woman. We rolled her truck upright because the gas tank was leaking. I used my KA-BAR to access the battery to cut the battery wires to prevent a fire. We had to use the KA-BAR as a pry bar to get the hood open. The owner of the car needed the insurance card from the glove box. We removed the windshield and opened her crushed dashboard with the knife. We also cut the valve stems off her rims to stabilize her truck. I was expecting my KA-BAR to be at the very least dull, bent or chipped. My knife came through without a scratch and was still very sharp! I had my knife in my trunk because I was planning to trade it at a gun show that weekend. I now keep it in the car with all my other emergency gear.

i got this knife for xmas i've used it many times for alot of things around the house yard work hunting and just out in the woods i've ownd 100's of knifes but this is the only knife i've ever had that has held up this well its well worth the price this is the only brand ill ever use wen it comes to knives

I got my first Ka-Bar for Christmas (with a lot of heavy hinting). I have had numerous occasions to use it and am amazed at this knife. It is everything the other reviewers have said. I like knives and have 10 or 12 fixed blades and this one is the best all purpose knife I have ever seen and #2 is not close. It is really one of a kind.

WOW! BEST KNIVE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND I OWN ABOUT 300 FIXED BLADED KNIVES. I HAVE PUT IT UP TO THE AND STILL LOOKS BRAND NEW. GREAT BYE. MY DAD LOVES THIS KNIVE 2. SO BYE OR YOU WILL BE SORRY

Great knife, have it on my hip currently. Wonderfull for all kinds of cutting prying and slashing. Only thing I could ever find wrong is that the finish can get worn off. otherwise, great knife. hi-quality steel, hi-quality leather, sturdy, no wiggling, holds a great edge. Overall great knife and I would recommend it to anyone.

Still have my original 1968 issue k-barand own several others .You just can't find a better overall use knive

i just got my ka-bar and it is great,awsome looks,super sharp,a genuine ww2 fighting\utility knife.if youre looking for a great knife this is the one ,im planning on having this knife for at least 5 years,although its the ultimate usmc fighting\utility knife i do no recomend this knife as a starter due to its sharpness or to some one under the age of 16 because you could get seriosly hurt.five bullets period.

If you be a knife person, and are thinkin about gettin a new knife, this seriously is the one.... For those who think it don't get dull however, they haven't used their's very much.... Every knife gets dull when you use it, but as long as you have the smallest bit of common sense on how to sharpen a knife, this knife will last many generations past your's. This is my dream knife since I was little, and i've had one for many many years... It's been through some S**T! Bye this one over all if ya in to fixed blades :)

God bless you marines, I'm in the Army and I purchased one of the these for the field and it works great. And it's definately something that makes you feel good to have at your side. Definately worth the mone!!!

I purchased my K-Bar prior to shipping out to Desert Storm (1991) and found it useful in every aspect of my day, from pounding tent pegs, prying open tent crates, opening cans of G.I. Coffee and I even found it useful at Mail Call. I am no longer in the Marine Corps but often find uses for my K-Bar in Civilian life. Camping, Fishing and if I ever go hunting I know I will have it by my side. Keep it sharp and oiled and it will definitely outlast me for sure. Kyle Sayles

Worth every penny, bargain knife with better than bargain quality and brings a flood of memories for some of us.

The name on the knife says it all!!! SEMPER FI!!!

One of the best knife I have ever bought

If you want a Knife that wont ever let you down buy this one. The blade comes razor sharp and i can seriously shave with it. The best part is the blade even if its razor sharp dosent get dull. This is a great knive for skinning game and all kinds of tasks. If you want a Good American knife for a affordable prize this is it The USMC Ka-Bar. Semper-Fi

I use this knife in my squadron everytime we are on a mission or just camping and everyone want to use it. It never gets dull! I use it for cutting branches for a fire cutting rope for portable hammocks. It's works for everything. GET ONE IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE. great deal too

Best knife i ever owned, never dulled and is completely beautiful, buy it if ur thinking about getting a new knife.

BEST KNIFE I HAVE EVER OWNED STAYS SHARP RECOMMENDED FOR BUYING

I am bowled over by the outstanding quality and balance of this knife. And at thid price it is the best bargain on CTD.com ever!

Received my first Marine Corps KA-BAR back in 1981. Used that one until the over-sharpened blade finally snapped after being run over by a personnel carrier trac. That was 2001. I have my second one now, and am looking forward to another 20 years with this one! Simply the finest knife anywhere, and for the price you might as well buy two and take your wife out for dinner on the rest that you'll save over the over-priced blades. SEMPER FI!

Super knife, Got it last month and I put it to the test. After much use around home, the boat, hunting and general outdoor everyday farm use I have yet to find a single problem with it. Still sharp still strait. Cuts thick rope like butter. Better then most of my 150-200 dollor knives. I give this knife 5 bullets, BUY IT.

Wow! What else can you say. I bought this knife about 2 months ago and it is another limb to me. What bad things can you say about it? Nothing I can think of. I have spent many years as a Spec Ops, So I know alot about the Buckmaster Bowie Special Ops tactical knife. But a good friend that told me what a excellent knife this was, So I had to get it. 5 Bullets! By it. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

I bought one of these as a gift, but now I don't want to give it away. The KA-BAR is as good as the other reviewers say. I'll be buying another one for myself with my next order. I have to agree - if I could own only one knife, I can't think of any other knife I'd rather have.

I just got my KA-Bar Knife today and I will carry it everyday I love knifes and guns and always carry a knife but from now on my personal self defense weapon will be my KA-BAR what a great knife everyone should own one

When I was a boy my Father had one of these knives tucked away in a footlocker with two other knives and some old war photos of the beaches of Iwo Jima. He was in the US Coast Guard and was stationed on one of the many landing craft that took a part in that piece of history. His ship was also at the battle for the island of Okinawa and later in Tokyo Bay for the signing of the Peace Agreement between The United States and Japan. That K-Bar was there also. He sent it to me as a gift last year, I think because he knew ,as a boy, I always wanted him to give it to me. It is my most prized possession. If I never get another thing from my Father I have his K-Bar. When I received it it was still super sharp. The finish is abit worn and the blade had some blood pitting on it but the handle and scabber held up very well to the many years it has been around. I had to take it to the field and use it at least once, so I took it fishing. I spared it no chore in the woods and at camp. It did everything as if it were new out of the box. It sliced fish open like it was a scaple. More than 60 years old and still an outstanding field knife. I also had one when I was in the military, 33 years ago, and still use it as one of my primary knives in the field. It has dressed many deer, coyote, bobcat, rabbit , bear and trout. Trimmed toe nail and made splits and lean-tos. It also is still in great shape and is as sharp as a razor. The K-Bar knife is without question one of the best knive in the world today, and as history shows, since it was first made. If you need a good field knife that will last your lifetime, taking good care of it ofcoarse, then look at history and look to the K-Bar. You won't be sorry. P.S. My Fathers knife is now in a display case with a photo of his ship on Red Beach 1, Iwo Jima, 19 February 1945

I purchased my first k-bar knife back in 1985. I am now purchasing my 2nd. It is the best ever. Holds a forever sharp edge. I lied this is my 3rd bought for my son for hunting. Sorry about that. Buy one today you will not be sorry.

I carry an all black version of the KA-BAR right behind my M9 pistol. It stays with me constantly in Iraq and I will go nowhere without it. 'nuff said.

Ka-bar like never go dull or bend. the g-r-r-e-a-t

This is the best kife I've ever you used. When someone says knife my mind automatically thinks of the KA-BAR. I've used for hunting, camping, fishing, the works. I've had my KA-BAR for three years and it's still sharper than any knife I have ever used.

i bought this knife a while back and have put it through its paces camping and doing all sorts of things in the woods, and have not been disappointed, i would highly recommend this knife.

This is the best knife money can buy, thank god for the KA-BAR
