Overall this knife is not meant for carving the turkey up at the Thanksgiving dinner table. It is a fighting knife first, it can help do a few survival related chores but it is a fighting knife. Judging from it's weight and feel, the Ka-Bar will dig a hole in dirt, chop and split fire wood, sever ropes, pry and also cut but it will not do many of those really well. It is very sharp and will cut well. The knife feels great when it's held in the hand. It comes off to me as well balanced tough and signifiant but not bulky. Knowing this design has a history founded in war fighting by war fighters comes through when it's held in your hand. This knife is an awsome weapon but it's not a survival type knife. It was purchased as a gift for a solidier's birthday in the middle east.

This is the knife that helped win WWII. Fantastic item that makes me feel like I'm holding a piece of history in my hand. Beautifully crafted from updated materials (D2 tool steel for the blade for example), this knife is the quintessential Ka-Bar fighting knife, heart and soul. It has just enough tweaks to modernize it, without losing anything that makes it so special. I have many knives; if I could only have one, this would be it. Please get one; you won't regret it.

What a great knife
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
if you're going to a knife fight, this would be the knife to bring. I'm sure it can dig in dirt and cut wood and wires but it's a fighting knife more than a utility or survival knife.
