(More customer reviews)having spent 13 years in the military and spent so much time in the wilderness, i've found this to be the best knife. the little extra length of the blade offers a little extra chopping power. the full tang of the knife will toss away any worries you might have of the blade breaking from the handle. i would recommend not using the knife to pry too much though since it is a bit longer than a standard blade. the spine is geometrically reinforced to make it pry if needed however. the long cutting edge gives the user a serious advantage to skinning an animal, sheering a plant, or giving you that little extra range you need. the handle has a rubberized grip to make it really stick to the hand making it more easy to handle. the butt cap seems to be pretty solid and reliable to do some hammering if need be. having a wider spine than the cutting edge, the knife makes a good wedge if you hammer a heavy stick on the back side of the blade to chop through wood or other materials.
in a fighting situation, the knife has the added notch to aid in a lock during close quarters locking moves. the curve of the knife tip makes for a good bowie slasher but has a nice angle similar to a spear point, making a stabbing strike much more effective ensuring deeper penetration.
the design of this knife is nothing short of amazing. good job Ka-Bar!
