Pros & Cons
Pros
The knife is beautiful and tough. The offset handle to the back of the blade is normal per usgi specs. Very very durable knife. My only complaint is it needs to be sharpened.
When you hold it, its like holding a 1911. It causes you to think of all the servicemen who wore one on their side. No crayon eaters in this house.
The ka-bar is a mix of perfect balance and ergonomics and after more than 70+ years, the design is still relevant and practical. I have an original ka-bar commando. It is a kabar knife, need i say more?
It is well made and i believe true to the original mil spec. Patents, factory website faq's, compared with another 1220 issed to me 2011.
Cons
The black and orangey wood colors go together, but i hate how it looks now. The thing that really bothered me is the grip fading away.
