Hey guys I've got an idea for what would be an AWESOME, knife test, just don't have all the knives or a means to "scientifically" test them, perhaps someone out there (Cliff Stamp for instance) could test some if not all of following knives. Many companies produce a Ka-Bar knockoff or something in that size range so how about a head to head free-for-all, cutting, throwing, prying and concrete chopping included to determine who's once and for all KING OF THE KA-BARS:)

1. Ka-Bar (the brand name)
2. Camillus Ka-bar style knife
3. Ontario Ka-bar style knife
4. Case Ka-bar style knife
5. Glock field knife (kinda resembles a ka-bar, looks like a good knife)
6. Becker C/U 7 (great knife in my opinion)
7. Ka-Bar (the brand name) D2 Extreme Ka-Bar (can a D2 FB be any good?)
8. TOPS Moccasin Ranger

and then as a control (standard for comparison): Swamp Rat Camp Trap and/or Chris Reeve Project I and/or Busse Natural Outlaw.

Hopefully somebody out there will take this and run with it.
 
Sounds like an interesting test! It might be an idea to throw in the Next Gen Kabar as well. Oh, and I don't think the CU7 really fits as far as KaBar-type knives are concerned, but yes it's a great knife.
