Armory ReplicasMarine Raider Combat Tactical Military Survival Knife

The media could not be loaded. First let me start with a bit of history with me and knives. I bought my first knife for deer hunting when I was 14 in 1968. A Buck 119 which at the time sold for $20.00. A hefty price tag back then. Got that knife and used it for many years and it was a great knife but I noticed with the first deer I field dressed that the grip was very slippery if I got blood on it. Lost that knife while in the Navy and when it came time to buy another I told myself I would never buy anything but a bargain priced knife. I’ve held true to that my whole life and have had many knives never costing more than $20.00. Used my second deer skinner… a Western W66 for probably 30 years before replacing that with a Morakniv. Smaller, light weight knife that sharpens razor sharp and easily disappeared in my backpack. I will probably always carry this knife to dress my deer but being strictly an archery hunter now and also doing a lot of hiking I’ve been wanting something to carry on my side J I C. This knife fit the bill perfectly. The six inch blade is extremely rugged and sharp. The overall heft of the knife is impressive and would be very intimidating if needed for self defense. Almost identical to a Ka-Bar with a full rat tail tang at a fraction of the price……it’s my kind of knife. The anodized blade will never rust and the rubberized grip does not slip in your hand even when wet. There are several of these Ka-Bar look a likes here on Amazon but I believe this is one of the best. The sheath is ok and should last for several years but can easily be replaced with leather for a very low cost should you choose too. I really don’t think you’ll find this style of knife with this kind of quality at a better price.

This is a very impressive knife for the price point. Thicker blade stock than the knife it is designed after and well as a thicker guard. The blade came pretty sharp literally 30 sec on the ceramic rods and it's shaving sharp. Impressively the grind on mine is perfect completely even both sides. Some expensive knives I've bought have had grinds embarrassingly bad. The sheath is on the cheap side but honestly it's plenty serviceable. It's not super flimsy and will get the job done. If your looking for an extra bug out bag knife tackle box or truck knife one you can use and rely on without being to concerned about this is a good option to consider.

Full tang, sharp out of the box, stainless steel construction. Blade is covered in what appears to be a powder coat finish.Right after I got it, I hit it repeatedly on a downed tree branch for a couple minutes, no edge damage. So it isn't the low grade stainless steel that some of those decorative wall hangers used to be made out of. Might be well worth the $20. It is of course made in the PRC. If that isn't an obstacle in your view, it is worth testing out to see if it is worth having. That is what I intend to do.It is a tad shorter, but it will fit in to a standard Ka Bar sheath well enough, if you prefer those to the sheath it comes with.

Quality wise, I'm not seeing any significant difference between this knife and one of my actual "name brand" knives.In some respects it may actually be better. Such as the environment resistant handle and sheath.It's very well constructed from decent materials and came very sharp.Don't let the low price fool you. This is a great knife.Edit... After owning & using this knife I've grown extremely fond of it. So much in fact I've bought several more (7 total) to give to friends. The balance is good, the grip is fantastic, even when wet and it holds an edge very well. The size is just right too. The only thing that could be improved is replacing the nylon sheath with leather. Still not a deal breaker. Buy this, you won't be disappointed.

This ka-bar look alike is very well made, it's about a inch smaller than a ka-bar but it feels great, it's thick and everything is nice and tight on it, the edge came very sharp the sharpest I've seen on a cheap knife, mtech has this same knife for 12 buck , I like this one better because has no logos other then the words China, the sheath is you tyipical nylon sheath and it's actually good for the purpose if you plan on using it heavily it will probably last a year before you need to replace it otherwise if light use can last many years, it arrived fast about 3 days and it's not even prime , highly recommend getting this knife for the price

I used an army surplus Kabar for years as a gardening knife, but I lost it and needed a replacement. I've tried a couple other cheap kabar styles, and they broke. And, I don't want to spend $100 on a real Kabar, just to drive it into the dirt, chip rocks, pry roots and dig sand. I just needed a cheap, strong blade, and this works just fine. The blade is strong enough to pry roots and rocks out of holes, I don't feel like the tang is already bent. Feels like it will last, after a couple weekends of gardening work. The grip is rubber, so it feels good and doesn't slip, even when wet. It's not terribly sharp, and I have no idea how well it would hold an edge, since my blade spends most of it's work time slicing into sand and small gravel. Nothing will stay sharp in that. If you need a good, high quality knife, then spend more money and get one. If you need a good, strong blade for some ugly camping work and you want it under $20, this will do.

I can't believe the quality of this knife for the price. I love k-bars but can't afford a real one. This replica is freaking wonderful. I love the coating on the very sharp blade. And the double blood let's! Superb blade. Full tang. Great weight. And has an " upgraded" rubberized handle rather than the k&bars wooden handle. If you're looking for anything near a USMC K-BAR for a tenth of the price. Definitely buy this knife! I can't get over the quality and price. Quickly became my favorite blade. Do yourself a favor and buy one of these knives. I promise you won't be disappointed. Id give 10 stars if possible.
