I am looking at a Short Kabar, and wondering what I can compare it to in size. Its dimensions appear to be similar to the pilots survival knife of Camillus and Ontario fame - of which I have one. Is it as similar as it looks?
Thanks
 
I had both. You can't go wrong w/ the kabar. In my opinion it surpasses the pilot knife. I prefer the short kabar's over the large and you have the kydex sheath (that all depends on which you order) some of the shorts only come with leather, but you can get a kydex sold separately. They are both the same basic design.
 
A comparison shot for you:



I like the Shorty, carried this one for a while. Overall finish is a step above the Pilot. The handle on the Pilot is a little bigger and better to grip though IMO.
