BarcodeComment: Knife-sheath-long-bad-bar-mounting-2611195508
Hey great knife and at a decent price for a K bar. I was looking for a K bar and wanted to try something different. The factory edge is super sharp and the blade style makes big cuts a breeze. I haven't had much time to try it out in the field yet but I don't feel it will disappoint. Some one else wrote that the sheath was a lil bulky and it is. Not in a bad way though for the kind of knife it is. Obviously Johnson Adventure Blades needed a generic sheath that would serve both the Baconmaker and the Potbelly. And its not too bad, it has a couple options for mounting with ALICE straps which I intend to use for mounting on a pack.No joke ITS A BIG KNIFE! You walking around with it on your belt and your going to get noticed. If your hunting or backpacking for sure, but keep in mind the knife itself is a foot long and in its sheath its about 16" inches long.. This is definitely an outdoor utility tool aka survival knife for hacking branches "small trees", splitting the pelvis...

| Author: Opeii33 "George" (Miami,.. | Just what you'd expect from Ka-Bar-an overbuilt, handful of All-American knife! A fighter; a pig-sticker- the options are many. The small utility knife built into the sheath was a nice touch. I'd probably have a kydex scabbard built for this. At the MSRP I could spend on extras and still come out on top. Great knife, great price. | 11 | |
| Author: A. Shlyakt (New York) -.. | This knife is just another awesome example of Kabar's ability to make a very cool knife for a very cool price. The Baconmaker, other than the incredibly cool name (which I will admit is about 40-50% the reason why I decided to look into the knife more and eventually buy it) is a very nicely designed knife. The blade shape is wicked and unique and definitely seems like it will do the job of, well, making bacon for you. It certainly is a sticking knife with the very sharp tip and slim profile is intended for pierce cutting. It is a relatively thick blade still because it needs to be durable and be able to navigate and negotiate past bone and connective tissue. The blade weight is offset toward the handle which for a piercing knife is effective in adding momentum to the cut. The handle is alright and does make an attempt at texturing which actually ended up being pretty good. The problem I had is the texturing is a raised rounded bump pattern which feels slightly slick when in hand... | 6 | |
