It batons well. I believe in small partial serration. It has virtue in certain regards. Personal preference in tools is certainly appropriate. Note the very small serration on the fixed blade I have. Itās far back and small enough so as to stay out of the way unless needed. Same thing on my OTF auto. Serration shines on tough cordage.
Vets from the MACV SOG era love that KA BAR, I have heard a couple of stories of itās effectiveness when up close.
And what situation would that be if I may ask?
Venezuelan Greenlander in Iran is my guessā¦
They donāt! The legal definition of a ZK is very ambiguous, although the one thing they all have in common, Iāve noticed, is that theyāre very cheap and poorly constructed; often >$26.98. I donāt know how the law works here, to be honest, and I do wonder if Border Force see the ~$539.63 price tag and make the assumption theyāre unlikely to be used by teenage thugs
I can see the argument for that, it's just if I need a serrated tool I have bowsaws, pruning saws, if all else fails there's the little saw on my Swiss army knife, which is legal carry The ka bar- ,which most certainly isn't- also comes in handy for some wood carving jobs, and I don't want serrations for that job
That fixed blade I showed is meant to be a one knife to do it all.
How bout threatening other NATO members?
Iām unpacking, checking and listing mine tomorrow, so Iāll post the contents of mine!
A water filter and rolls of toilet paper, for starters.
I might give it a go.

Well I live in a very rural area with lots of wilderness so I have some hope of short term survival. I have food, fuel, medical supplies, water and filters, batteries, solar chargers, wood stove, hunting and fishing gear etc. I guess my main concern would be serious injury or illness. I live on a hill a mile from the ocean with many creeks and rivers very near. Wildlife is abundant here and we have a very stable microclimate. Unless a personal catastrophe occurred, I could certainly last a month without leaving my home.In the event of some sort of Western Hemisphere Conflict (non-nuclear), is āsurvivalā realistic? No clean water, no electricity (good luck EV drivers), no reliable information, never mind no access to daily life-preserving medication. Would you want to live in such a world?
At best, I see my survival pack as a three or four day ācomfort bufferā whilst I migrate to an emergency shelter centre, should I choose to do so, which, thinking about it, is very unlikely; can you imagine the sheer number of people going to these places and the conflicts one would have to endure from frightened men āprotecting and providing for their familiesā?
Putting together a survival pack is, for me, a bit of fun (mainly revolving around curating large cool knives
