Thanks for the nod to my comment on the War Machine! In no way was I dissing the KA-BAR. That's still a fantastic knife, but the WM does have it beat. Like I said, that grip feels so natural, it doesn't even feel like I'm holding a deadly weapon. The only downside is the grip makes it a little more difficult to flip to ice pick grip and back. The pommel actually prevents the knife from slipping out if you do it quickly (though I'm getting better at changing grips with the WM with more practice). Other than that, the WM outperforms everywhere else. That's in my top 3 along with the Mission III. For my third, I do love the Old West Toothpick, and would love to see how you'd pull off a full tang version in the future. An honorable mention, but I'll never use it because it's a collector's item is the Hibben Kenpo Fighting Knife. Unlike the current Hibbens that are made in China, this was made in Taiwan in the 70s, and is much higher quality. As a kenpoist, I definitely love the blade. It's a good nod to the original Parker knife Gil Hibben made for Ed Parker and Elvis Presley. Can't get those unless Hibben actually hand makes one for you, or if you have tens of thousands you're willing to spend on a single blade. Another knife I love is the Mod Mark 3. It's smaller than even the KA-BAR, but what I love about it is that it's water proof. If you're working with water or out camping, and cutting a branch out of the water, it's a good knife to have on you for that. That would be my backup to the John J Tribute, which I also love. I'd add more Dbad's to my top knives if I had them in my arsenal. I'm not sure what I'll get next. Eying the Jim Bowie, the Gator, and the khukuri.
@DonnieBAllDay2 жыл бұрын
The older KA-BAR utility knives are better than the current, but the new ones are still good. The balance is terrible, but it was designed after a hunting knife so it's not something they were going for anyway.

Cool knives. Though that one clip point probably isnt a copy of Jim Bowie's. His brother Rezin made the original for Jim & said It wasn’t the familiar clip pointed blade we know today. It was a large butcher knife. Rezin described the knife in an 1838 article as "being nine and a half inches long, an inch and a half wide, and without any curve".
@DonnieBAllDay2 жыл бұрын
Different knife. You're thinking of the one he used at the sandbar fight. The "Musso" is one he carried just prior to leaving for the Alamo. He gifted it to a friend after accepting his orders for Texas. This blade parameter and shape is an actual copy of his knife. I was allowed in a museum after hours to video it and take photos. Its not clear if Rezin designed it or a friend of Jims whose last name was Musso, hence, "The Musso Bowie"
