The KaBar is a good knife.....not a GREAT knife. Most users of KaBar simply think it is leet because of the make, and have NO idea what is out there. There are hundreds of better made, better value and ergonomically superior knives on the market. Just because the marines used it does not make it the "cat's ass". Check out the "Smokey Mountain Knifeworks", they have incredible selection and prices. The store is the size of a Canadian Tire store and they have everything....all knives.
