3.99....First off its Vintage WWII USMC issue. The blade is 1/4 inch
thick

So what.. the K Bar is one of the plainest cheap steel knives made... and it
was "issue" as well!

and is only 11&1/2 inches long. As I said its perfect for walking the
fence.
It will hack off a 2" sapling with ease, chop the head off a rattle
snake or copperhead with ease

Mine will do the same... keep it's edge... and not rust!

Yes indeed. I have guite a collection of Knives. Case, Solingen,and
several bayonets, german daggers, and a jap shinshinto wakizash.

Big deal.... I've got Buck, Myerco, Leatherman, etc... plus 6 others that
were custom built. My fillet knife is a custom.... 10 inch blade that is
extremly flexible and razor sharp. My skinning knife is a custom as well....
beautifully crafted and made from the best steel available.


Buckmaster makes good knives, but they should stay out of the anchor
business.

Don't judge the knife based on the pins... you are behaving like Nav if you
do. He waltzed in dissin' my blade with no clue as to what he was talking
about. Where I come from... you can insult an man's wife, cuss his dog...
but don't be ridiculing his knife. We judge people by the sharpness of their
blade.. not sharpness of their tongue

Yeah thats my point. It was form over function. And thats a big zero
on my knive scale.

The knife is all function I assure you! solid, no stupid compass in the
pommel, you can [and I have] unscrew the cap and twist in a nice hardwood
pole for a functional spear.

Real men do not form over function, thats for the Ganzy types.

Function over form is correct... but there is nothing wrong with form if
it's an option.

****... Ive lost more knives overboard than you ever owned... Iceman.

There you go... I know enough not to lose my blade... no wonder you don't
buy the quality!

Hwaaaaaaawk

Patooooeeee

Er-r-r... you got your foot with that... here have a hanky!
