Apart from that, you can also use this knife for cutting and chopping purposes without any issue, and it will work just as good as any other KA-BAR knife.
The knife comes in two options, straight and serrated edge. I bought the serrated one, and it cut pretty well. It is something that is entirely a matter of preference. Overall, this knife works pretty well. To choose the best-suited knife for yourself, you must have some pre-requisite knowledge.
That is where this buying guide will help you. A fixed blade knife, as is evident from the name, is a knife in which the blade is fixed in one position and cannot be moved from that position. This is a quality essential in a knife you are going to use for heavy-duty work, where a moving part can prove to be ineffective. Also, as they are one fixed piece of equipment, they are easier to clean and maintain, unlike knives that have hinges in them.
Also, in tactical situations, where the speed at which you draw your blade can prove to be a deciding factor in the outcome, a fixed already exposed blade can be handy. This significant factor makes a lot of people choose a fixed blade knife over folding blade ones. A folding blade knife is a knife in which the blade folds away into the handle, giving it a compact frame and making it easier to carry around with yourself comfortably. A folding knife is known by most people as a pocket knife.
It can also be used for all the things a fixed blade knife is used for, that is survival, self-defense, and utility purposes. A folding knife is rarely used for heavy-duty tasks as it has hinges and moving parts that can easily be broken.
But in a high-quality folding knife, the moving parts are made to be durable, and that is something you can also expect from KA-BAR folding knives.
Now that you know the types of blades KA-BAR manufactures, I should mention the features that will help you decide what kind of blade will suit you. Depending on the use you are going to put your knife to, you can buy either a fixed blade or a folding blade knife.
Fixed blade knives are for more heavy-duty work while the folding blade is for lighter tasks. Blade length is an essential factor in getting the right performance from your knife.
A longer blade is effective for cutting tasks, but too long a blade can prove to be hard to handle. A short blade, on the other hand, is useful for making precise cuts. KA-BAR makes knives with almost every required blade length, and you can choose a knife that has the right blade length according to your need. A blade is made with a lot of different kinds of steels. Each steel has a unique property. Some steel has excellent edge-retention while others are easy to sharpen. You can always look up for the quality a particular type of steel has and choose your blade accordingly.
Similarly, KA-BAR also makes knives with all sorts of handle material, so you must buy a knife that you feel comfortable while holding. Blade angle is the angle at which the blade is sharpened. For a knife to work effectively, the combination of the right blade angle with the right amount of sharpening is necessary.
Although you can always change the blade angle by sharpening the blade yourself. Also, different blade design offers different advantages, like a heavy blade is useful for chopping purposes. So, choosing a blade with the right angle and design is essential. Therefore, people often get confused. Each of these knives serves its own unique purpose, and the one you should buy depends on what you are going to use the knife for. AS Jahipann Tel: Email: hanno jahipaun.
