    Pa,

    Do you sell K-Bars? If so, where can I go to purchase one? I definately want one to hang on my LCE/Survival Vest. Thanks for the article.

    I have a beat-to-death Ka-Bar that my Dad carried in WWII, that I've been gently trying to restore, without destroying its' character. It served him well.

    Pa-

    I have one of the common Kabar U.S.M.C knives with the leather grip/sheath and have used it extensively for anything from building bows to gutting. Only other knife i use besides my S&W folder. I just want to say thanks for a great product that has served me well and keep up the good work!

    Good story pa. I used to be in that unit back in 89-92, we deployed to Northern Iraq also. We made 2 jumps into northern Iraq with then LTC Abizaid as our Battalion Commander (he is now 4 star Gen Abizaid in command of CENTCOM) It wasnt the mess then that it is now over there though......

    It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

    I used to have a k-bar but it had a rigid green plastic scabbard instead of the leather sheath. Any idea what model it was?

    I need another k-bar too, man you can put an edge on those things.

    That was a good post. I have 2 k-bars and I use both for deer hunting when I started hunting deer didnt know you was supposed to use small knifes.I have never cut myself or gut cut a deer with either one and I keep them sharp enough to shave with.

    All right, so what's a Ka-Bar knife, and what's so special about them? Are they some sort of Bowie knife?

    When did they Remobilize the 173rd The last I heard the Herd was deactivated and disbanded.
