Ka-Bar Black Tanto Knife February 15, 2010
K. Terrell (TEXAS)
I purchased this knife for my 16 year old son. I had owned a couple of Ka-Bar knives as a kid but the quality of this knife far exceeds what I recall. This is one tough knife and my son loves it! This knife provides excellent value for the price.
Read Y. Tsuchida review February 12, 2010
cartoon lover (nevada)
Y. Tsuchida's review is comprehensive. A great quote, "this is the knife you want when the SHTF".
I'd like to add, from a metallurgist and field app standpoint. this is a hefty chunk of Ka-bars classic 1095-Cr-V tool steel. It will stain, and its not ultra hard like a 154cm or other boutique stainless. But: you can put a razor sharp edge on it very quickly and easily in the field, and it has much higher toughness so it won't shatter or chip even under extreme abuse. 1095-Cr-V won't work-harden like stainless will and is a lot tougher under torque stress, like wedging open a rusted steel door or something like that. These are very important practical advantages for a working tool in real outdoor environments--like a ranch... or a battlefield.
And that's why, when the SHTF, make sure you reach for this big and nasty KA-BAR.
Just the right size February 3, 2010

Not as large as a traditional mil Ka-bar. It's stout, and just small enough that I can carry all day without noticing it.

I agree with everything Y. Tsuchida said in his comprehensive review. The only minor -- and I mean minor -- change I would want is to the sheath. It has two very tight nylon snap-on straps and a physical block that requires you to bend the sheath back when removing the knife. I find this to be overkill since it requires three operation to remove the knife. Well, at least you won't be complaining about losing the knife because it fell out of the sheath.
The balance really is just about perfect. A+ knife with no frills -- just pure function.
First knife, great knife. December 31, 2009

As I sit here and type this, I hold the knife itself in my lap, I occasionally pick it up and look over it's black matte finish and silver edge. I shake it a little in my hand, reaffirming it's weight, and I place it back in the sheath and down on the bed next to me. Not even a minute passes before I pick it up and examine it again.
I simply love this knife, and cannot put it down.
Now I'm not an expert, by any stretch of the imagination; this is in fact my first knife, but maybe my opinion can help someone out anyway. So if any of this is wrong, or just plain ignorant, I apologize, these are just my unedited thoughts as I look at it.
The knife's handle is very nice, the grip on it is a sort of rubber finish with ridges as shown in the picture, it's large enough to fit my hand rather comfortably, and the base of the grip, which some uses have speculated could be used for hammering, seems to perform that task fairly well. The blade is large, around 8 inches as stated, and the finish is very nice, though my knife did not come razor sharp, it came sharp enough to cut through paper pretty well, which is all I could ask for right now. The tanto point is, of course, very sharp, and I have nicked myself a couple of times with it already, but that's my own fault for being careless, so I can't blame the knife for that. The balance seems to be exactly where I rest my index finger while holding, between the first ridge of the grip and the blade, which is very nice. I don't know if this is a standard thing, but it's still nice either way. If you hold the knife around the handle at this point with just your thumb and forefinger you can feel the weight there, and this is pretty cool, or I find it cool at least.
The sheath, is simply awesome, though the locking mechanism is a little tricky at first if you've never used it before, I was afraid I was going to snap the thing into pieces, it works well. Though the buttons on mine that secure the knife weren't fitting at first, a little stretching put them in place nicely. Besides looking cool, it looks like it can handle some pretty intense punishment, I plan on testing that out before making any guarantees however.
I really don't know what else to say about it, though my blade had a nick in it, and a streak from what appears to be a chemical or liquid of some sort, it's otherwise very beautiful, the sheath as well. It's fun to hold, look at, and I'm sure if I need to use it for any sort of purpose, camping or general cutting, that it will perform quite well, it just feels like it should, though time will tell.
