Insanely durable for a rat tail tang knife

Insanely durable for a rat tail tang knife
I’ve put this thing through everything. I’ve processed wood, finished off a pig, and used it for chopping in camp and it holds its edge well and does have any bending of the blade from the tang. Super impressed!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Excellent blade. Very study and has a good weight to it. Not too big for me(I'm over 6' tall & wear XL gloves). After much deliberation and research, I chose against the leather handle - supposedly longer life and I do not regret it. It's a great feel. I got it for camping and anything else - so I haven't beat it up, yet. However, based on experience, the quality and feel, I'm confident this blade will do it's job when needed.

    I bought a leather sheath as well and don't regret it - I feel that compared to the hard sheath, it's better for quick access. I also feel that aesthetically, the leather sheath looks better for casual carry. One thing you may need to do with either sheath, if you plan on wearing this on your belt - especially the leather sheath - is attach some 550 cord to secure the tip of the sheath(there's a hole built-in) to your leg to stabilize it when pulling it out. Link for Leather sheath: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GREUD0/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_15

    In case you're wondering why I chose the hard sheath if I like the leather so much is to compare the two. And I got the hard sheath just in case I need to lash it to the outside of my camping gear or if I'm going through rough terrain. The Hard sheath also has a bit of a "lock" to it. So you may need to practice wearing it and pulling it out a few times to develop muscle memory and speed.

    In terms of maintenance, I use mineral oil on the blade and store it in the cardboard sleeve it came in(as recommended by manufacturer). Haven't had to sharpen it yet b/c as I mentioned, I haven't really beat it up yet and mine came very sharp. But I did take sharpening into consideration when I selected the straight-edge against the serrated. From my research, it seems that the serrated it a bit more difficult to sharpen. And from what I read, the straight-edge is the one preferred overall. I also took into consideration that if SHTF, straight edge would be the one that would be easier to maintain in a pinch. If serrated is what you're looking for, I'd recommend carrying a folder or another smaller one and saving the Ka-bar for the heavy-duty lifting.

    Feel free to message me with any questions or comments. Thanks

    5.0 out of 5 stars TACTICLE KNIFE
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I am very particular about my tacticle equipment. I place life and death applications to everything I buy and put high levels stress on items to be assured failure is avoided when I really need it. In particular I've read many reviews on this knife. The picture doesnt serve justice to the quality of this knife. The knife I received is an authentic.
    First the knife. It has a sturdy handle with excellent grip. I dont like the ribbed grips because they dont always fit every hand size. The grooved out handle provides solid hold in all my tasks thus far. I have split small pieces of wood and it never failed to cut anything I would expect any knife to do. It has a sharp edge but only because I sharpen al my knives daily it didnt bother me sharpen it the day after I received it. I feel this a multi use knife that includes cutting cord and removing a hide from a deer. It has an awesome contour from the base of the knife to the tip. This knife would with no doubt be used as a self defense weapon if you were an avid knife handler.
    Now the shealth. Although mine had a couple small scratches on the backside, that is not a concern of mine since its a knife I use daily. If someone wants a scratch free sheath buy the knife as a collector piece and keep it under a glass protected case to only look at. This sheath is wicked. I try to test my equipment to just under the point of breakage before I need it to be reliable in a high stress situation. The sheath has holes placed in it along the side. I managed to tie 25ft of paracord on the sheath and pulled it tight as f*^$! If this was a cheap quality I would have undoubtedly cracked it.
    I ran 5 miles with the knife secured with the snap and would find it very difficult to loose the knife. And finally the strap can be secured to Molle packs.
    I dont usually take this much time to write a review but I did because of the quality and time it took to make such a fine product. Thanks
    And the knife came before they said it would from amazon

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
    Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    This is an outstanding knife. This model is the full-size 17.78cm/7in blade with Kraton handle instead of the traditional stacked leather. Overall size with handle is almost 30cm/11.75in. The knife is USA made. This model comes with a kydex sheath. Black leather sheaths also available at Amazon. Great balance and the handle is the perfect size for me.

    Razor sharp out of the box and has since sharpened quickly. The blade is thinner than the BK 7 also by KaBar - .165 v .188 mm. This knife is lighter as a result but still tough enough for most use. Unless you think you need to do heavy batoning with your knife you'll likely find the KB1213 a good fit. The 1213 has a better sheath than the BK 7 but they're both great knives.

    The 1213 is a fairly big knife and not suitable for children. This model with the kydex sheath has proved tough in the field and should not break down over time but note that the knife and sheath together have a very tactical look that may not be for everybody. If you're using this knife in the winter you'll want a leather or other sheath as the kydex becomes brittle at very low temperatures.

    I was looking for an all-round survival type knife and I went back to this as something I'd used in the military. This knife has proved perfect for me. I love the balance and design of the knife. I have other similar knives including a Gerber LMF II which is an egress/ urban survival knife which I carry in my vehicle, but the 1213 is my overall go-to choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What a knife!
    Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Thoroughly impressed. Surprised at how light weight it was.

    Counter to the few bad reviews, the knife was sharp, the edge was centred. The coating was even. Some complained about no coating on the pin that holds the pommel on. There is probably a manufacturing reason and does not affect the esthetics of the knife.

    One review had you orienting the sheath with the handle pointing down. Brilliant! The lock is a bit stiff but this would enable a clean deployment of the knife. The sheath has lots of means for attachment beyond just using a belt.

    I am very happy I purchased it! I have been debating it for years and I finally bit the bullet.
