Ka-bar for wilderness survival

I'd personally worry about the stick tang also. Production, I'd suggest an ESEE 6 also. Custom, I'd check with Stomper of JK Knives.

Why do so many people think it's no good for field use?

Growing up, it was one of the Holy Grails for kids.
First, you HAD to have a jack knife of some kind (SAK, BSA, etc)
Next, you were really one of The Boys when you got a Buck 110.
You were a real Scout when you earned the right to carry a hatchet.

But you had finally graduated to Manhood when dad bought you your Ka-Bar.
It went camping, hunting, fishing and everything else outdoors with you. It helped you conquer the wild in your mind. Most of us had one through out military tenure, and did just about everything BUT fight with it.

Only on the internet do you find out it was never any good for that stuff.

Is there better? Yes.
Does the USMC Ka-Bar (or Army) suck? NO.

Yes...:thumbup:
