Was gifted this excellent knife as a gift from my fellow U.S. Army Soldiers. A quality knife with a design towards survival and bushcraft. The option of two sets (Black and Coyote Brown) of handle scales was an added bonus. Knife was sharp out of the box and the black grit coating on the blade seems durable and causes very little drag during cutting. The handle feels great in your hand but could have been a little thicker for my likes. I am looking forward to the Factory Micarta Scales that are soon to be released by KA-BAR. The blade is very well balanced and easy to manage and maintain. The sheath was such a quality durable Molle sheath that it eliminates any desire to purchase or craft an after market version. My only gripe was that the hex tool screws are an odd in-between size. They require a T-20 key tool to remove and adjust. Even then I slightly stripped the inside of one...and have no future replacement if condition worsens.I am a Soldier....and I trust KA-BAR with my life! I would recommend this knife for anyone.
