They're made for stabbing. If you do a lot of stabbing when you camp, it might be a good knife for you.
Not much use as far as advice really.
The Ka-Bar, has been in service for years, it's not just a combat knife, it's a utility knife. Knives are made to cut and your question is does this work well for a bushcraft scenario, the answer can be quick and people say "NO", but things are not quite that simple.
I owned a Ka-Bar for years, it did most everything I asked of it, but was it easy or good at it, I didn't think so, but it could do it. The failure was not in the knife, it was in the person using it.
A couple of years ago I was on a Bushcraft / Survival course and there was a guy on it called Jared, he was a big guy (6ft tall and 6.5 feet wide across the shoulders), he was like "ram man".
Initially I thought that Jared with his accent would be the most annoying person on the planet, but it turned out that Jared was a complete star. Jared was an Ex US Marine and he had brought along a knife to use on the course, his issue Ka-Bar.
Jared did twice the amount of cutting that any of us did, first he used the Frosts that he had been given to use on the course and then he tried the same thing with the Ka-Bar. He actually did a pretty good job with it, afterwards when we spoke he said that it was just as capable of doing the tasks as the Frosts, but it took a little more effort.
Jared, like I had served for 13 years. He had 13 years of experience with a Ka-Bar and found it harder to work with than a frosts mora which he had never handled before.
The answer to your question is knives are horses for courses, some handles suit some people some suit others. If you can get hold of one, borrow one from a mate or something along those lines, try before you buy.
Most blade designs can be used in most jobs, some better than others, I have before now skinned a reindeer with a Wenger Swiss Army Knife, it wasn't ideal, but it did the job. The main thing is that you like what you have chosen, it's a lot easier using a knife that you feel comfortable with than a design concept from a manufacturer.
The Ka-Bar is a utility knife that has been used for years and many people like them, some people handle them in the same way that some handle a Frosts Mora, others can do the job with them, but find it harder than using a frosts and then some can't use them at all.
From a personal opinion, I found the handle uncomfortable for long periods of use and I am not a fan of longer blades, so I found the blade a little unwieldy in use, but that's me. The majority will probably say the same, that doesn't mean that you won't like one though. As I said before try before you buy if you can.
