Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie-HELP!!

Hey, great thread, great reviews. I am actually in the market for a good "survival" blade and have been considering the shb version. I am, though, wondering about ehhh's report of a bent or badly ground blade. Anybody else encountered this?
 
No! i really was impressed how well everything was done by just paying 50,00 euro.

I chopped hard dry wood and softer with no problems.

As a lefty i wish for a better sheath. But getting used to Kydex i am going to get my own done. Only thing is: Buying Kydex would destroy the great price performance ratio. In other words, i don´t want to spend the money.
 
Thanks, Blop. I have been trying to decide between this knife, the USMC and a CS ODA. Where I live I have to buy mail order, and this thread has really helped. Ka-bar SHB it is.

Jest wear it on your right side. It will come out blade up when drawn with the left hand, but you can deal with that.
 
The widely-issued Cat. Q225 military knife of WWII was issued with a "left-handed" sheath, so righties cross-drew with the edge up - the approved technique of the day for "fighting knives." (They had not discovered the wonders of the evocative but undefined "tactical.")
