We wouldn't tell you to buy a KA-BAR knife because of its military heritage or because it's a legend in the world of knives. We wouldn't tell you to buy a KA-BAR because it comes from an American company with more than a century of knife-making experience. And we wouldn't tell you to buy a KA-BAR knife because of its resistance to corrosion, tested strength, unmatched edge-holding ability and out-of-the-box razor sharp blade. Because there's only one real reason to buy a KA-BAR. When it comes down to it and you're all alone and your survival depends on a knife, you're going to want a knife you can trust. A knife that won't fail you. A knife that has proven itself time and time again. You're going to want a KA-BAR.
