Sports reviews of Ka-Bar 2-1212-3 Black Fighting Knife
Customer Review: Necessity for knife enthusiasts
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The 7 inch clip point Kabar has been the down and dirty standard for all fighting knives and survival knives since World War II and will be around for a long time. It is time tested and has evolved in the past 70 years to meet the needs of the modern world.
Pros:
Price/value
Factory sharp
Hard 1095 "50100 B" Cromium-Vanadium carbon steel blade
Circular serrations (extremely hard to sharpen;however, Kabar's unique serrations outperform any pointed tooth serrations)
Kraton G handle gives comfort but is still durable and completely waterproof
Exposed tang at the bottom that is useful for hammering
Balanced
Durable
Cons:
Extremely vulnerable to rust! Carbon steel is tougher than stainless steel, but it rusts much more easily.
The steel has a useless coating of what looks to be black oxide when it needs to have an actual protective coating of another metal compound such as TiNi to protect the volatile steel from corrosion instead of a pointless coloring chemical
Leather sheath is total garbage and made in mexico, I only use it when I don't wanna look like a badass
The Kabar clip point is the staple of the military and survivalists all over america and is a very nice general purpose knife that will work in most situations. DO NOT buy this Kabar if you don't plan on buying the 15 dollar Glass filled nylon sheath with the knife, it is an absolute necessity! The Kabar is definitely my favorite knife company and knife model for carbon steel blades, and is a top general purpose knife, but it is not for everyone. If you are going to be doing a lot of water work DO NOT use this knife or any carbon steel knife without proper corrosion protection and start looking at either stainless steel (such as the SOG Seal Team Elite; the Remington F.A.S.T.) or D2 knives (such as the Kabar D2 Extreme). All knife enthusiasts or survivalists should definitely have at least 1 Kabar in their collection!
