KA-BARBecker BK7 Combat Utility

Great camping knife/bush craft knife. Easy to keep sharp, handle is slippery when wet, I wrapped the handle with paracord, no issues. Being full tang give you a lot of flexibility

sharp and fast cant ask for much more than that. good knife good price fast shipping. bk7 is all you need for a combat knife.

Time will tell if this Kabar holds up as well as my ESEE knives. This Kabar is a good size and is well made.

If you haven't read this 1000 times already, the sheath is terrible. For a knife over 100 dollars you should get a leather fitted sheath. But I got it to mod it just like everyone else so eff me right? It's a good knife. It's a lot of money if you plan on spending another 100 on a sheath and scales. But if you wanna be as cool as all the old white guys on YouTube, you don't have a choice anyways. So once you have a lifted 4x4, and an AR-15 this should be next on your list.

On the other hand, small enough to wear but that makes it limited in its pry ability. Mine is sharp, not for fine detailed work, but for rough work. It holds an edge, easy to sharpen. To me it is a tool, I don't abuse it, but I don't baby it either. Dig/pry or cut, works for me. Bigger works better, depending on your social environment or not.

This thing is a beast. One of the best bushcraft knives out there. I chose this over Esee just because I prefer the steel in the BK-7 over the higher carbon of Esee. Both are top of the list. The Bk-7 is solid no doubt. Buy it, no disappointment.

Sharpens easily. Cuts, chops, and batons very well. It’s about average for feathering. Pretty good digging tool. I don’t know why there is serration on the spine near the hilt. The 90 degree portion of the spine is better for sparking a ferro rod. It doesn’t perform as well on big tasks (e.g., chopping) as my larger knife. Doesn’t perform as well on small tasks (e.g., feathering) as my smaller knives. But if I could only take one knife into the woods, this would be the one. The sheath isn’t terrible, but you’ll want to get something better if your serious about bushcraft. Same criticism for the handle. It will do the job, but it’s pretty slippery. Therein lies my biggest complaint with this knife: you need to spend another $100 (at least) to make it a very good knife.

This thing is a beast that handles anything I throw at it. It's comfortable, durable, customizable and for the money I don't worry about babying it. I would purchase again.
