This is a very serious machete, excellent to work with. The thick blade and its design give it very strong leverage. It's a quality product, worth investing in. The handle is superbly made from a non-slip material, and the blade is strong and solid. I am very satisfied with it and really like it. I can only recommend it to others as well.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Ka-Bar.
Ka-Bar is a brand whose history dates back to the late 19th century, and which gained real fame during World War II, when the Fighting Utility model was officially adopted by the US Marine Corps. The durable and versatile knife quickly became legendary, proving itself both in combat and in the daily tasks of soldiers. The name Ka-Bar itself comes from the 1920s, when a trapper described in a letter how he managed to “kill a bear” with a Union Cutlery knife. In 1952, wanting to emphasize the power of this symbol, the company officially changed its name to Ka-Bar Knives Inc., and its products are still considered a model of reliability today. An important chapter in the brand's history is also its collaboration with Ethan Becker, which resulted in the Becker series, highly valued by users, combining practical solutions with a modern approach to knife design.

A very well balanced and lightweight Kukri-style machete. It's light but has a well-distributed center of gravity. It arrived razor sharp. First tests went well. The sheath can be mounted horizontally on a belt, which is a big plus. The store and service, as usual, deserve a 5. I recommend it.

A solid chunk of Kukri with a blade about 4.2mm thick. Unbeatable at this price.

This machete is exactly as it should be because it is made solidly, from 4mm thick carbon steel. You can forget the stories that machetes under 3mm thick work well in tough terrain. The Ka-bar machete performs excellently when cutting and chopping various types of small-diameter trees.

I've owned this machete for a few weeks and I can say just one thing—it's great. No wonder, it’s a Ka-bar, excellently made and sharp. All the cheaper machetes, especially those under 200 PLN, are just toys and not effective in tough terrain. I tested the Ka-bar machete during a week-long survival course and it passed with top marks.
