the M9 must been after I got out. The M8 was the same one they used on the M1 carbine. But ours had a rubber grip and the original had stacked leather.Quote:

It sharpens up a treat and holds a nice sharp edge for a long time.
Just my 2c worth.
I love ka bar and always have one on me for camping and such but as for carry(I don't leave the house without a pocket knife..(must be my years on nautical vessels) I typically have either a Spyderco folding half screated or a Benchmade Mel Pardue pre production tanto.
Ka bar are a nice knife, but I never got one, I had enough stuff to carry in my kit. We had a few guys who had them and they loved them.
Do you have the old Carbon V USA made model, or the SK5 steel model...Quote:

I don't carry or deploy with anything that I will not use or I can not trust 100%. If you can't trust your life to whatever knife you carry, it's not worth carrying.
I'm not sure, I got mine about 4 years ago and it's a Japanese made bladeQuote:
