Does anyone else see a little Brute in the Gunny Knife?

[Boss1911]

The new Ka-Bar 5300 Gunny Knife is a nice looking blade. Is it gust me or do you see a bit of The Brute style when you look at this?

The Long out of production Brute might also be less expensive...… :0

Yes, absolutely. Thought the same thing immediately.

i see a little machaxe, and a little brute

but am wondering when kabar will make a longer, 3/8th thick machaxe

 

[GeofS]

Almost looks like a brute with an angled tweener handle.

Not a fan.
No disrespect obviously, but the knife design is horrible in my opinion.
I believe Ka-bar can do better.

It looks like something that isn't going to be Used....
I like my knives VERY "boring looking".
I guess That doesn't sell? idk...
Kinda bothers me, that I have a good dozen knives that I want to spend money on..... and know body makes them!

*back in the early nineties That was the same reason I started making Beer.....haha
I think I already know the answer to this.

Did somebody say smatchet? The tip reminds me of one.

Honestly, it has about as much appeal as all the zombie knives did.

I’m on board with that Bladite

but am wondering when kabar will make a longer, 3/8th thick machaxe

I respectfully disagree with several of you on this thread. I really like how this knife looks and think it will be quite functional. I can’t wait to get it.

Pretty neat blade. I personally think this needs cut off and the choil removed.

A poor attempt at doctoring the photo.

Nice it’s safer now with that full trigger guard

 

[Murphnuge]

According to Ethan, no relation. I'll order one soon, hopefully.

Same. I have a few others to order before I get to this, but I will.

They messed up the handle, the rest looks brutal
