Kabar Fixed blade Fin?

[gopeder111]

I haven't found much information about this knife and would like to hear what are your opinions on it. I read an article on it in Tactical Knives and it seems like a nice knife. Has anyone handled one or owns one? I'd like to hear what you guys think about this one

Thanks

I agree with the lack of info thing. I am/was interested in purchasing one and could never find an article or an internet page with a picture of the right side of the knives. Although the Ka-Bar site says they are hollow ground, I just cant get over the idea of them, or at least the tanto version, being chisel ground.

tactical knives has a very detailed review but I don't hear anything about it on the forums especially since I can't search has anyone here even seen one of these

on the pictures it didn't look chisel ground where did you hear this?

added: I called knifecenter and they said its hollow ground, it also says it on their website

The idea that I 'heard' is only what I make from the pictures. As for being chisel ground, it doesn't really matter that one side is hollow, flat, or what have you, its when the other side is basically not beveled. The pics, to me, look like there is too much contour in the bevel for the other side to be symmetric with it.

Good to hear that is not the case.

Still intereested in hearing from someone who owns or has used one.

They are fine little hunting knives. They have been around for a long time. I think my last one was made in Japan, but I am not sure. My sister-in-law has it. It's the only knife in her house that will cut! She loves it.

Te he, those are not the items we are talking about. The new Fin knives (pretty dumb to have two lines with the same name) are tacticool all black in D2 blades.
