This is a great video with high production values, to include period clothing and buildings, etc. Please allow me to respectfully make a suggestion: instead of the epic style of music, which is used too much, the next time you make a documentary, try to use music of the time in which the scenes were shot. This will add to the authenticity and the viewer will get a sense of the passage of time, and also tie in the events to that particular time in the history of the USA with more impact. Thanks!

A lot of producers are trying to make catchy patterns. There is nothing like a good utilitarian blade shape. Nessmuk knew this as well. I own a fine copy of a nessmuk pattern and it functions well. My only other desire would be to try a yakut knife. I own puukkos and I love them. Utilitarian.

I have a Ka-Bar. It's a modern one and I love it! I got it to learn survival skills & and it's pretty indestructible. I never knew it had such a history, but I have an old friend who was in the Army in the mid 70's and he told me it was military issue so I figured it was well made.

Is it possible to order a custom BK18 cut? In a nutshell, I want to have additional jimping added from top to the bottom of the handle (similar to the Seal FX). Also I want the guard to resemble the Seal FX. That would be perfecto

I did not realize you had a channel. I just ordered this knife plus I have many Becker knives.

I want this knife. It is an axe. a chissle and a knife all in one. I am not being paid. I am honestly impressed.

Shoutout to the guys rocking a ka-bar tactical spork into battle.

I saw one up here in Western Canada at a outdoor camping place and it was freaking $320 bucks. Good Lord. When I can have a Buck 119 at $120. In both cases I'm talking about Canadian dollars of course.

Looking forward to the 4-inch blade version. I believe Horace Kephart preferred that one to the 5-inch version.

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran (84-88) & I found my first USMC Ka-Bar on the beach of a Spanish military base (forget the name) where we were doing joint training with the Spanish Army. It must have dropped from the sheath of the previous unit who trained there 6 months before. It was covered in rust & I came close to passing it up but thankfully I didn't. It cleaned up remarkably, with only two small pits in the blade which didn't affect the edge that sharpened up nicely. I liked it so much that I bought a brand new one as soon as we got back to Camp Lejeaune. It cost me a whole $32 at the base PX. I've bought several more over the years, as I like to give them out as Christmas presents to family or friends.

Great documentary. The 1217 is a great knife! For the past 37 years our job shop has laser engraved over a thousand of them for our military members at Camp Pendleton and abroad, as well as our first responders. We love the knives and they laser engrave beautifully with amazing gold foil and other colors. A grateful shout out to military members and first responders everywhere.

It's a great line of blades.

Any knife is a bottle opener if you know what you're doing.

If it’s not double convex. It’s just an ugly flat grind.🖖🏻

It was called TITTY ute?😂 Funny

You can even buy a USSF kabar now. Worth it.

Inside out is clean.

Thank you 🙏🏻

My father was in the corp (staff sgt) and he had one of these KA-BAR knives at home. It was huge and I remember him using it from time to time. He also had those combat “jungle boots.” God bless our military and our great nation.

Ka-Bar knives are always talked about. I actually went to Tennessee to buy my first. Now I own 12 Ka-Bar knives. Best knives ever made.

I have a KA-BAR my dad brought home from WW2

Does anyone know what type of KA-BAR knife the Alaskan used to kill the Kodiac bear? The original KA-BAR that is 7 inch long? I have that and the "Big Brother" version. If the original KA-BAR is capable of killing Kodiac bear imagine what the Big Brother can do.

The longevity of this company was not based on quality as they'd like to have you believe. It's based on the blood of countless American men through multiple wars from which the Jews benifited. All I kept hearing is the story of how a Jew took over and manipulated his way through time and fabricated propaganda to iconic status which modern hands keep reinventing and perfecting to what the product never was ha ha. If you seek a true story of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM look no further than guitar icon LEO FENDER. EVERY ITERATION of his guitar designs has stood the test of time without changing a damn thing.

Take a shot every time he says "you know"

Love Ka-Bar

Why do we wait for war till we realize an American brother no matter what color. GOD BLESS YOU THANKS FOR MY FREEDOM

I still have my USMC Ka-Bar that I bought in the PX 50 years ago.

Nice 👍🏾

Sais it's molle compatible but i'm not seeing any molle in this video...

I'm a former Marine. I love Ka Bar and I've never seen or heard of this documentary. Your failure to advertise is a bit of a letdown to me. You don't seem sincere about wanting to share your story.

ka-bar is the highest quality that's why it's my daily

I'm gonna have to pick one of these up for my go bag

Thank

1# OF THE BEST FIFTH RIB KNIVES EVER MADE 🖤 IN MY OPINION 🌿

Semper Fi Ka Bar.

Slashed my knee open with one, the doctor said it looked like a surgeon cut my knee open

I carry a Ka-bar Dozier for my EDC.

I wish KA-BAR would come out with a Boyscout/Camp style pocket knife. ( Blade, Awl, Can Opener, Bottle opener with flat head screwdriver on top, and shackle ( aka Bail or Clevis )

Lots of great stories herein comments, a shout out to my brother Marines. I am a former ‘72-‘78 Marine I have a personal story or two but not germaine to the Kabar. I do wish to laud my Parris Island boot DI, one Staff Sgt Marberry(not certain of spelling.) SSgt Marberry was all of about 5’6” and 110lbs soaking wet if dipped in the muddy Mekong and he was our Senior Drill Instructor for Platoon 3005 that year. He was also a black man, the Marines in ‘72 were well ahead of the country in equal opportunity. It so happened I had fire watch(midnight til 6 am) the night of Nov 10, 1972. For our indoctrination our DI group had laid out their medals and awards on a table for us to view. As I did my rounds I stopped to read SSgt Marberry’s awards. I was stunned at the news write up on him. He was at the Battle of Khe Sahn in ‘68. Along with fighting bravely with multiple wounds he was credited with having killed over 400 VC and NVA using his KABAR and a piece of shrapnel. As background, in this fierce battle the Marines were greatly outnumbered and ultimately ran out of ammo therefore, the KABAR and shrapnel. For his valiant efforts he received the Medal of Honor. I have looked up the record of MOH recipients but have not found his therefore, I may have his name spelled wrong. I do not know if he is still alive or not but a special shout out to him for showing us the way.

I dunno, that lamp looks kinda Fragilè

Bk 16 with stippled handles 🔪

The KABAR Becker BK72.

Space carry.

Personally I only have 5 of your knives 1217, Becker BK9 & BK2, 1245 Tanto & Kraton G - Now may I say all of them are still going strong. However they're not my daily I like & use them a lot still to this day. Keep up the great work as always 👍🏻

I carry a tanto tipped plain kabar around the house. Make a new grizzly!

I carry a Kabar TDI Law Enforcement Knife on the body. and a kabar US Army in the Grab and Go Bag/Day bag.

Would love to see a limited run of 6 inch commando blades u guys built in the 40s to see the bright and blued versions

Ho! Ho! No!!!

Just got a ka-bar not that long ago, and I love my ka-bar it's they best knife they have very made. Thank you for making such amazing knife.
