KABAR fighting knife
Bought me one today. Was looking hard at the cold steel line, but I got this one a bit cheaper and am just wow'd by how nice this thing really is.

For those in the know, this is the army knife, though other than the sheath, there's no difference from the marine knife as far as I can tell.

Anyway, I'm happy. :D

Indeed brother.

If you read the reviews, there isn't another knife for those who have actually had to use it.

I prolly should have been looking harder at the show malu. I was more into the rifles than the knives.

Good advice, and I'll be looking for a back up come July. ;)

Cold steel Recon was my knife of choice for my purchase. However, this Kabar really filled the bill at a cheaper price to boot.

Plus, you get the history....

Either knife will get the job done and more than likely, I'll be shopping for that recon at the next gun show as a back up. lol

Re: KABAR fighting knife
For what it's worth, in the knife sharpening kit from lowes, they have besides the coarse and fine diamond hones, but a tri-angular stone that is supposed tyo shrpen the nooks and cranies of the hollow ground knife style blade.

I found you can tell how sharp it is by looking at the knife edge straight down. With the knife sharpening kit, I usually get the blade as sharp as the round knife I use to sliced my leathers.

Great article man.

For me though, keeping a sharp knife doesn't mean thinning the blade to a razor blade. I'm looking for long life out of a very expensive blade.

Most really good knives in my opinion need periodic maintenance and not much else.

The easy part to sharpening a knife is material removal. The hard part is how to get rid of that rolled edge that you will get with any steel, especially Buck knives...those for some reason have given me fits. The idea is maintain a constant angle, so unless you're gifted like a an artist, buy one of those sharpening kits that clamp the blade and you have to guide the stone thru a fixed angle slot...These do work, but like I said above, you will wonder why it isn't as sharp as it could be, when you do everything correct...

The answer is under the microscope...You will see what looks like a film of metal that is "rolled" over the real cutting edge.. Stropping, either on a leather belt, or on a spinning wheel gets rid of this, allowing you to have that sharp surface that is hidden underneath.

I understand...I love knives...my favorites get a rather course angle sharpening.. I carry 2 knives, a large locking folder, and a smaller locking folder. The latter is much like a razor blade, the former is sharpened for a durable edge. I've settled on this arrangement and it works well..

Just an FYI....I don't have any affiliations, but I sharpen everyone's knives that I know, cuz the word got out, the best buy for the $$$ right know in my opinion is the CRKT knives....made in Taiwan, and super high quality...good steel.
