4.0 Rating Good Knife, Sheath Blows - 7/23/2012Kukri Machete KA-Bar 17" Overall Black Finish 11 1/2" 1085 Carbon Steel Blade Nylon and Leather Sheath4.0000
Reviewer: YungBuck
It's a Ka-Bar, so you already know its quality is second to none. The knife itself is heavy enough to do some serious damage without wearing you down. It comes fairly sharp. Mine would shave right out of the box. I gave it 4 of 5 hrs on my Arkansas stone and now it's scary sharp. 4 bullets because the knife deserves a better sheath.

Reviewer: RON/MA.
Bought this for my wife to cut up branches. Tried it out and found that it has great balance and grip. Cut through 1.5 inch diameter branches without much effort at all. It has a sweet spot just under the forward curved edge. I'm buying another for myself and retiring a straight blade machete I've had for ten years.

Reviewer: BEEFY
This is a VERY well balanced weapon. I bought its straight-edged brother, and I like them both. These will come in handy for hunting or survival. I never mention it, but these guys are GREAT with their deliveries; very fast, nothing damaged. Keep up the good work.

This knife, like all of Ka-Bar's products, is awesome. It's very tough, very sharp, and very fairly priced.

Reviewer: primer45
I got my ka-bar for Christmas 2010. I took it out of the box and shaved a spot on my arm with it. It is the sharpest knife I have ever taken out of the package before. Excellent quality, very tough. I took it out and cut some small branches off of trees in the back yard. Thr knife has enough weight to it to not be too heavy, but also to not have to wack all day at a branch. Very good for hunting and camping. I am very happy with the gift and will get some great use out of it. Thanks to my wife and CTD.

Trust me this is sharp. This knife holds its edge very well and cuts like the proverbial hot knife through butter.

Reviewer: enawn
I was impressed with the size and heft of the blade. It was fairly sharp when I first got it, and I used it to get rid of some of the saplings growing in my garden. I nicked the blade on a rock, so after I was finished I resharpened it. The next time I used it was a little scary. I mowing my yard and wanted to trim a couple of lower limbs on some trees in my yard. Well removing them did not take much effort. I have had a harder time spreading butter on my hot toast than what it took to trim the limbs. It would not surprise me if you could quarter any game you took out in the field in about 5 min. After I was finished it was still razor sharp. I don't know what a real Kukri is like, but you can't beat it for the price!!!!

Reviewer: Grantalonous
I took mine out when I go mushroom hunting in the Blue Mountains of WA. It works great. It takes time to get used to the weight, it may be off balanced but it will get you through think brush. They should give you a better sheath though, that is why I only have 4 bullets.

Reviewer: minerran
Great Machete, I'll use it for yard work. It's of excellent quality as I've come to expect from Ka-Bar. As for it supposedly being so "razor sharp" (as BIOHAZZ says in his review) that if you touch it then it will make u bleed all over the place....that's a made up story I think. No way! I found it to be reasonably sharp although I used my honing stone to sharpen it more to my liking. Its a bit tricky to get in and out of the sheath due to the blades shape - perhaps that's how the other guy got cut, not being careful.

Reviewer: BIOHAZZ
This knife looks, feels, cuts great! I did not know if it was going to be good so I used it a whole 8 hours of just chopping up wood and sure enough it delivered the cut I hit as hard as i could i even stabbed the wood and it did not even bend or chip off. When I got the Machete it was RAZOR SHARP and after I was done for the day it was dirty and I cleaned it without gloves and, the machete proved it was still RAZOR FUC%$#@ SHARP by slicing my finger. I cut the very tip of my finger off it wasnt too bad it was just bleeding all over the place, but overall this machete is the best one I have had plus it's a Ka-Bar machete, no more explanation needed, but I loved it it was a RAZOR in the box and still a RAZOR today, I LOVE IT!!! You want a good machete Ka-Bar is the way to go worth every penny

Reviewer: mike
I used the knife on a 3 day camping/hiking trip. Great for medium size log or wood cutting. The sheath is fair, be careful how you draw the blade you can cut the stitching in the narrow part of the sheath. Would prefer kydex or a plastic sheath. What more can I say its a Ka-BAR TOUGH!
