Won this knife on a recent ebay bid. Here are some pictures. Havent had a chance to do a field test, but feels like one of the best knives I have handled.

Aloha,

If you have friends in the US military, they can buy it for you at the Marine base PX.

It's a good knife, very useful.

Sorry I don't recall the price.

Aloha!

YogiBear / archer Roughly US$ 25/- to US$ 60/- online (not prices from a USMC or ex-USMC pal, though) :D

Incidentally - what a great "kill-ab' ar" story as to how the name came about - the company adopted KA-BAR from the "bear story" as their trademark. Wow! ....Source Wikipedia
