Anyone knows what this knife is? (Used in Ocampo case)

Of what origin and level of quality is this knife? (If it is junk, it looks fairly restrained in styling compared to most junk knives):

Looks like a Ka-Bar Bull Dozier.

And why are you interested in the make and quality of a knife used to kill "...four homeless men in what they called a serial thrill-kill spree in late 2011 and early 2012." :thumbdn:

Hardly the kind of this that casts knives in a positive light. ONly serves to feed the stereotypes.

In case he has to kill somebody, he'll already know what works.

It's already in the news. I can't imagine discussing it here will stereotype our hobby much more negatively.

Thanks Max. It always fascinates me that most knives used by criminals are always some cheap junk that I have no clue what it is... I'm not even sure where they get that stuff... This one seemed a little bit above average, so I was curious.

"Positive light" marcinek? Like knife-adverse Joe public often scrolls Bladesforums?

OK. So did the guy stab or slice? Either way I'd say a KaBar would do the job capably. I certainly enjoy my Kabar Dozier large folding hunter for EDC tasks. But if slicing was the goal,, I'd think a full flat grind would work better.
