Kabar Camp Knife

The Kabar Camp Knife

If you know anything about knives you know about Kabar which became a companion of our soldiers in WW2 and continues to serve our troops to this day. Kabars have a well deserved reputation for being tough and functional at a very reasonable price. Today we take a look at there Camp Knife.

At close to 13" long with a large heavy 8" blade Kabar's Camp Knife is meant for serious work. From hacking down small trees and splitting fire wood to clearing vegetation from your camp site this knife does it all. I have had mine for a little over two years now and although I have not given it to much of a work out I have called upon it to perform a number of chores like removing a few saplings in my back yard and splitting a few logs for my fireplace and it has done it all while maintaining a razor sharp edge. This is a great knife at a very reasonable price, I got mine for about $60. Bad news though Kabar has discontinued this knife so the only place your going to find them is on Ebay, good luck.

Specs:
12.75" long
8" Bolo blade
1095 Cro-Van steel
Hollow Ground
Rockwell Hardness 56-58
