Reviews for KA-BAR USMC 1217 plain edge, leather, Leather sheath

Excellent all around outdoor, hunting or well fighting knife. No questions. Does what it says. Excelledn stuck leather handle deals well with moderate water, does not freeze your hands in winter. Great pommel / tail - that can be used as a hammer and no stupid glass breakers sticking out. guard is a bit too much for practical reasons but great for fighting i assume and there only so much you can combine in one knife at such modest price too.

Absolutely beautiful knife bought as a birthday present for my bad who loved it

A great knife

The workmanship is good but what struck me most was how well-balanced this knife is. Really pleased with my purchase.

Very well made sharp heavy duty knife. Only gripe where the pommel is pinned ,the pin is recessed and has not been blackened so looks as it’s been forgotten. But a touch of mat black paint fixed this one point.
