[Ranga Mant]

i am looking at buying the USMC KA-BAR, but am worried that the blade will snap off the handle because the tang is too thin. can someone please tell me more about this knife?

It's a fine knife when used within it's limitations.

It's not a serious prybar....

The USMC KaBar has served several generations of combat Marines. And they weren't babying the things. As Alan said, they are not heavy duty pry bars, but work well as rough duty knives.

Like the fellow said, many generations of Marines can't be wrong. Also there not overly expensive, buy one and if you wreck it, buy another,...Kris
