Mini-Kabar...Mora-fied

Dave Behrens · Mar 21, 2012

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. Took my Mini-Kabar and gave it a hair-popping Scandi grind, ground the original short clip point to a long straight clip-point, removed the black coating, and removed the rear guard. Now it is a near perfect bushcraft knife.

Very nice, Dave...

Was thinkin'bought doin' that to mine. (my boys really like the factory mini KA-BAR look of theirs)

How's the new balance?

Balance is much more "centered" just slightly behind the hilt. I like my Bushcrafters to be slightly more "handle heavy".

Wow, it now looks less tactical and more of a "hard use" knife. Like the way it looks!
How does batoning with that swedge feel like?

btw. here is another scandi KABAR I found. Just thumbnail though as you'd have to register to see the full thing- And I am clearly too lazy to do that.
Nope, not working with img. Just search for scandi + KABAR on google. It's among the first hits
