KA-BAR Photo Thread - Post Your Ka-Bar Knife Pictures Here

[Zuluninja]

yep. Bought as an unfinished project (it only had the guard cemented to the shoulders), I did the handle, acid etch, blueing and sheath. Missed one shot:

sits flush at the pommel and covered with clear epoxy.

ZN - Did you free-hand the graphics or use a laser to etch a resist coat?

 

[Zuluninja]

free hand. I did drawings on paper until I was satisfied, then covered the blade on both sides with an acid resistant ink, then scratched out the figures.

 

[zzyzzogeton]

some serious drawing skills there, ZN.

Sorry for the less-than-ideal iPhone pic

Impact and D2 Fighter. Definitely impressed with the both of them.

wish my bar was D2 but could justify the ex pence of it.

And zuluninja love Bowie bar style and guard. handle kills it for me though.

My Ka-Bar USMC with recently refurb'd handle. Had thus knife 11 years and it's been everywhere with me.

It looks well loved. I traded one to a Brit about 11 years ago in Iraq, wasn't you was it?

No, but that would have been a stunning coincidence!
Always wanted one so bought this when we deployed.

Meant to say earlier that having a look through the pages here that there are some great Ka-Bars about, a real testament to a good design.

[Ruari]

Very, very nice find.

Apparently it's national talk like a pirate day. It's funny that I came across these few...

The swabbie is so much fun to play with. I need to get it out and get some proper pictures of it. These are awful.

The cutlass machete is a friend's, but wow.... There's some serious bang for your buck going on here.

The BK4. 'Nuff said.

 

[Vonrottes]

Newest is the ZK Zombro.. big brother recolor
in there as well is a ZK mule and a ZK Kharon

Also used to have a Dozier that someone stole a few weeks ago... girlfriend has the pink version.

Think would take an edge so easily.

****EDIT: Pardon me. I thought the last post in here was from 2015 didn't mean to neckropost

 

[zzyzzogeton]

That's fine - this one needed to be resurrected anyway. We need more pics.
