Greetings all. Kabar hunters are now available. They are small fixed blades of various shapes, including upswept, guthook, drop point, etc., all with rubber handles with a leather sheath included. Does anyone have any experience with them at all? Where are they manufactured, type of steel, full tang, etc.? Thanks.

Had a KaBar skinner for a long time, so sharp the upswept point pierced the sheath. Carried it everywhere in my backpack or duffle bag, back in the days where carrying was okay.

I believe it was 1095 steel with leather stack handle, very nice. Always held great edge. Price, my baby brother bought it for me as a peace offering when he and I were fighting at the tender ages of 12 (me) and 9 (him). For the price he bought it ($18) it was an excellent bargain. A great kinife at whatever price, but proof that a simple design well executed need not cost an arm and other appendage of choice
 
Thanks Parker but the Kabar models in question are fairly new (about 2 months)to the market. They sport a RUBBER handle with thong hole and are 6- 7" approximate OAL. One of them is remarkably similar to the Schrade 150 skinner. The suggested retail is about $40 ea. Anyone else?
