My Ka-bar Gila Folder

The Ka-bar Gila Folder Knife I ordered came in this morning and to tell the truth, I’m real happy with it!

It’s a little bigger than what I’m used to for a daily carry, but I think I can get comfortable with it.

Coming in at just around 9 inches with the max width of the blade around 1-3/8”
I worked out in the yard today with it and it feels really comfortable in my hand. I whittled a bit on a limb I had cut off and the blade came pretty sharp right out of the box.
One thing I have figured out about researching things on the internet, NEVER put much into what others say about anything you are researching.
On several youtube videos, there was always one person that had gripes about this knife.

• Cheap China crap
• poor quality blade metal
• The thumb opening shreds my finger
• Feels cheap
• and a few others that I can tell you right now were full of sh*t..

After only a few minutes of holding this knife, I knew they had either never held it or just typing to see they’re own crap.

• This knife feels good in my hand, the metal takes an edge without much work and holds it.
• The thumb hole used for opening the knife doesn’t do anything to my thumb (I’ve only got one other knife that uses blade deployment like this)
• It has some weight to it but doesn’t feel bulky

What I suspect is;

• They don’t like things made in China.
• They think if it’s not expensive, it’s crap.
• They don’t like Ka-bar (if this is the case, they should be allowed to own a knife)
• Or, they are just trolling the comment section of the videos

In all, for the $16.30 (they are cheaper in places too), I would say I am extremely happy with it.
Also, it just goes to show that you cannot believe everything you see on the internet (it’s sad that A LOT of people do).
