KA-BAR 3" Pocket Knife

Ciao, The KA-BAR Dozier 7.25 " folding Blade knife was priced at $27.97 at time of purchase. The knife is a nice value and feels very sturdy. The knife weighs approximately 65 grams. The knife has a 3.00-inch black AUS 8A Stainless steel blade. AUS 8A steel is a favorite of beginner knives thanks to its ease of sharpening. AUS 8A is a mid-range steel Made by Aichi Steel in Japan. These steels are well-balanced in terms of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, making them suitable for a wide range of knife applications. The knife has a Drop-Point style blade with a hollow grind. The blade has a reversible thumb stud which can be switched to the opposite side for a left-handed user. On spine of the blade just above the handle the is some jimping to reduce slippage and to give better control for the user. The Overall Length of the knife is approximately 7.25 inches. The knife was sharp right out of the box. The handle is made of Zytel material. Zytel is a nylon resin material used in many applications due to its resistance to heat, stiffness, and abrasion-resistant properties. Zytel handles are among the most versatile and durable handles available today for knives. The handle features a reversible pocket clip. The handle of the knife feels nice and comfortable but might be better suited for someone with small to medium sized hands. I would recommend this knife. KA-BAR is a known name among many knife enthusiasts. Thank you for your time. Auguri.
