It would seem Kabar knives are made in China.

[shortylickens]

How you all you gung-ho hardcore badasses feel about that?

 

[DingDingDao]

Everything is made in China. So what?

 

[DangerAardvark]

Allah-Hu-Kabar?

 

[lxskllr]

New models might be, but vintage knives aren't ;^)

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

People that think Kabar knives are the shit don't know squat about knives.

I couldn't possibly care one bit. Seems anything that China makes kills things anyway (tooth paste, dog food), so they may as well make things INTENDED to kill people.

Are you a client of ArizonaCustomKnives.com?

 

[spidey07]

Only some models. Most are made in USA. And I LOVE my kabar knives, very nice for the money.

Just because it is made in China doesn't mean it won't stab you.

Hell, with all of the toxic shit in Chinese made stuff, it would only take a little "prick" to kill you.

It looks like they have a few knives that are indeed made in China:

But not too many...and none of the ones that made Ka-bar famous are Chinese made...yet.

 

[PsiStar]

interestingly I will submit the OP as a troll ... "gung-ho" is derived from Chinese "gong he". Ergo shortylickens must be made in China.

Just sayin':$

Most of their knives are made in Olean, NY. I have quite a few friends who work there.

Size DOES matter...but what would you do with a knife like that?

As for carrying it in public...that depends on your local, city, county, and/or state laws...but most likely, at the minimum, you can't carry it concealed...it would have to be worn fully exposed.

I have this one:

In many parts of Kahleeforneeya, it's illegal because of the blade length, regardless of whether I wear it on my hip or completely concealed...however, since I don't generally go to those places, I'm not concerned.
I've used that knife for about 12 years, and carried it to work every day for about 5 of those years...often wearing it on my hip during the day for quick access. It cut through 2 and 3 inch nylon lines very easily and smaller lines like a hot knife through butter...plus, it made a great steak knife for the barge BBQ on Fridays.

Some time when I get the extra money to spend, I want to get a classic Ka-Bar.

Duh....it's the M9 now.

 

[Nintendesert]

Real men use Benchmade anyways.

Knives don't stab people, Insane losers in Dave and Busters stab people.

I bought a cheap Chinese replica, right before I found myself lost in the Everglades with wild Indians after me.

Fucking thing broke when I was killing the Alligator before the Chiefs hut, but luckily, the Alligator in his dying breath swallowed the Chief.

Piece of shit knife.

Fixed blades are for the birds.
Have any of you Kabar owners even used it?
