Any big pig sticker of a knife is incredibly versatile. This one is a lot lighter to carry than a hatchet or machete, but still large enough to hack up firewood easily. Ergonomically optimized by generations of field experience, this big boy is the right tool for digging, cutting, food prep and all general camp chores. It’s also the same genuine KA-Bar knife US Marines use (as a weapon and tool) all over the world. Black coated blade and slip resistant handle. Blade is 7.75". Total length of 12.75". 9 oz.
