THE HINDERER KABAR IN 3V IS A TANK OF A BLADE.. BASED ON THE OLD MARK II FIGHTING KNIFE. 3V BLADE STOCK AND MICARTA HANDLE SCALES.. THIS THING HANDLED EVERYTHING I THREW AT IT
Anither awesome revie brother. Thaks for all you do! Im a vet, navy 2009-2012. Started drinking heavy un the navy, then more the past decade. I quit...only 8 days sober. Had some dark days man. Im still gonna stay sober. Its just so hard when booze is everywhere. Gas stations, grocery stores even the movie theater.
Hey brother it takes a lot of guts to put that out there. Just try to do one day at the time man if you slip up you slip up just continue the fight just know that it's okay if you mess up pick it up and start over I had to a bunch man
The KABAR is and will always be a classic design. I love to see all the different versions that companies come out with. This one is definitely a quality version, to be sure.
I took a Buck General to war with me in 1968. It snapped off at the double guard in the Iron Triangle's triple canopy jungle. I'm not a fan of Buck knives. They lost my business 56 years ago. ... Now that 3V Kabar is a blade worth taking to battle. ... Thanks again Scab,. MM
Well, what steel was it back then, that Buck 120. I've seen the Joe X video on the Buck 120, and it proved to be quite tough actually. It is 420HC steel. Not talking about the S35VN , which he has also a video on. The Gerber Strongarm is also 420HC. Tough knife also.
@@Ve-suvius There was no way of knowing what steel was used in that knife in 1968. All I knew was that it was stainless. ... At that time, Buck advertisements showed one of their blades being pounded with a hammer on the spine, through a bolt held in a bench vise. ... I mistakenly assumed it was indestructable much to my chagrin.
@@user-cb3id6ef4z I understand your reaction to it. I read that they also used 440C at one time. And what not more..🤷♂. In the end, most knives have their limits. The Glock knife is supposed to be very tough. I have had many . The tip is too bendable, soft steel. I had some that were nearly impossible to get sharp.. Every knife has its good and bad quality's. Commando daggers are good for going through thick tough cloths(I really like the CRKT Hissatsu), but not good for tip tests. BK9 is praised by many(not good for tip tests either). But regarding penetration layers of tougher cloths I found it lacking. It is a Combat Bowie. But I think a Bowie with a more slender, more narrow tip would go in more effectively. Tip tests should not be taken to the extreme I think. Many knives will have the tip break or at least bend like an iron wire. It's very hard on a knife.
@@Ve-suvius Fast forward to several years ago. DLT had an exclusive - Buck 110 folders with S-30V, drop point, no nail nick, cherry red pakkawood inserts between nickel silver bolsters. I relented and bought two. One was for a very close friend who loves Buck 110s. He was an artillery Gun Section Chief on a 105 mm Howitzer in the Americal Div, I Corp RVN, 1968. At the same time that I was fighting in III Corps in the 16th Infantry Rangers. We were both Staff Sergeants . ... I had DLT engrave both of the blades. ... When they arrived, both were so full of grinding grit that they wouldn't open fully. Both had a huge burr on one side of the blade from a fairly aggressive belt. Neither would open an envelope without tearing it. My buddy's blade had been ground off about ¼" shorter than mine. ... Had they not been engraved, I'd have returned them to DLT. ... I thought much more of my friend than to give him that piece of crap Buck knife. ... Thrice bitten - thrice shy.
Nice knife as she had a good work out....PBKG & BS will love her since she is CPM3V....No matter what folks say the Kabar lasted many decades with no concern even with the stick tang so it does work....Kabar has such history.....Good work out vid....Good stuff....
HEY SCAB,I CAME ACROSS YOU A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.YOU WERE REVIEWING THE PREACHER AND I WAS HOOKED.I BOUGHT ONE AND JUST BEFORE I RECEIVED IT WE HAD A THUNDER STORM THAT SNAPPED OFF THE TOP OF A MAPLE TREE.I PUT THE PREACHER TO WORK AND IT IS A TOTAL BEAST.I LOVE IT . I HAD ONE MADE WITH A SIX INCH BLADE THAT I CARRY.LOVE YOU BROTHER.TAKE CARE.
I enjoy seeing knives in action that are out of my price range. Sometimes it's obvious why they are so expensive. This one is a beauty! Ka-Bar forever!
I can say that Hinder has always been a make-it-your-own company and he doesn't load down his screws with Loctite so you can take everything apart and changes scales and anything else on his knives he leaves it up to you if you want to Loctite them down and happy with what you got the scales and but cap won't come loose anymore. I was impressed with everything you did overall but the chopping stood out. I haven't heard anything about these being discontinued I bought this one in February this year from Rick Hinderer's website and just a couple weeks ago there was a drop of these at DLT Trading. Anyway, I keep all my Kbars on a magnetic wall hang and the Hinderer does have a little more swept-up blade than the Spartan Kabar or the Kabar. Great review and I'm happy with the Knife. I will Loctite everything down when I get it back because I'm not changing a thing.
I should have checked that before I ever got started brother that's my fault! I really appreciate you letting me check it out dude I love and I mean love K bars you know that and I'm really appreciative
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors Brother it's not your fault it's my fault I have 20 of his knives and I know he doesn't use Loctite so you can remove the screws easily I should have done it before I sent it.
Great looking knife. I’ve always loved the look and shape of the k-bar. Being full tang,I’m sure this one is better than the others although I do like the feel of the stacked leather handle of the original. Great demo brother. Stay safe my friend. 👍👍
Great Knife Great Video!!! I don't see you as much lately, I guess utub thought I OD'd on my regulars lol!!! I found ya though lol!!! Have a blessed day!!!
Just seeing this video now can’t believe I missed it. Great review! Scab you did Hinderer proud lol. The Hinderer k-bar is awesome knife but it looks more like a Buck than a K-bar lol. It’s definitely a quality blade but for the price I have to go with the Medford USMC Fighter. I have the Medford USMC Fighter and it’s fantastic. That blade is always in my truck and gets used a lot.
They need to bring this back. There would be a massive market for this knife now that 3V is going mainstream with production knife companies. I’d love to own a full tang Kabar in 3V or whatever other steel they might do. Heck, I’d love this knife in their 1095 CroVan because its a full tang! (The reason I haven’t yet bought one! Get it together Kabar)
DLT still has some in stock if anyone wants one. Mine came scary sharp. I put my finger in the choil, and I barely touched the blade and it cut me lol. Hinderer has some of the best looking sheaths. I have this and the Emmet, and both sheaths are gorgeous!
Hey hey Scab, this is one of my first time here watching your channel. Seen your shorts but this my first full video and I loved it! Definitely subscribing, can't wait to see what comes next. Respect and appreciation, God bless dude
Hey I appreciate that a lot thank you for taking the time to comment!!! I know that I put out an insane amount of content so I am always appreciative when folks take the time
This is the only Hinderer I would consider putting in the stable because I would not have to worry about voiding the warranty by maintaining the tool!😂😂 Thanks Scab
Man that blade is sweet I’ve always liked the Kabar style blades but never liked the rat tang. I live in Huntsville Alabama where is your boy an officer in AL? And have you ever done a review on any Lon Humphrey blades? Thanks brother for all you do keep moving forward and getting better everyday. Thanks man
Buck 119/120 vs Same size Ka-bar. Both are Classic American Knives that not collection is complete without, stick tangs, clip points...etc. Which do you prefer?
Buck 120 lineage confirmed! I consider the blade shape to be excellent, Ka-Bar or not, that is a really nice reimagining of the design. If only Ka-Bar would do that to the "original".
I think over all it looks great the scales just look cheesy but lookalike it held up well that pricecis a littel stiff but if you got why not oh ya kabar style has been my live sinnce I was10

Good knife. Though I sold mine a lil while back like a dummy. I do prefer them over the Buck tbh but there's nothing wrong with a Buck either. Just have to be a lil easier on 420hc is all.
Watch the Joe X video on the Buck 120 with 420HC steel. It was quite amazing. And then watch the S35VN model of it. He has both video's. Wach the difference. It was also amazing. I go for the lower prized one.

Brother I'd love to know how many different kinds there are. I think my favorite would be dbads war machine... But I love the Spartan version too
You ain't going nowhere in 2 years but straight to the top Scabber!
Enjoyed it. Love me some KBAR
Brother I love you and appreciate you!!!
"This ain't Scab's bargain basement" I love it.

I love The Ka-bar's esthetics, and no American Knife Collection is complete without one! A 3V Ka-bar with a full tang? Absolutely!
100% with you brother
As always another great rousing rendition. I concur very very similar to the General. 🤙🏻🤘🏻. And a very Happy Anniversary God bless you both. 🙏
Much love my brother
I watched this video until the end!

Cool knife.. Great Video showing how the knife can be applied..

Appreciate you a ton brother
Awesome review
Iam gonna save up and iam huying this damn thin freaking beautiful love the review you done for it you got me sold

Love the knife. Thanks for the video.
Appreciate you checking it out
Just seeing this video now can’t believe I missed it. Great review! Scab you did Hinderer proud lol. The Hinderer k-bar is awesome knife but it looks more like a Buck than a K-bar lol.

Man that is one I would love to try I may see if I can grab one.. yeah that's what I brought up in my video it looks a lot like the buck 120
They need to bring this back. There would be a massive market for this knife now that 3V is going mainstream with production knife companies.

Agree brother!
DLT still has some in stock if anyone wants one.
Mine came scary sharp. I put my finger in the choil, and I barely touched the blade and it cut me lol.
Hinderer has some of the best looking sheaths. I have this and the Emmet, and both sheaths are gorgeous!
I don't like kabar, never have done, never will do. However, your full tang version has redeeming qualities.
Good stuff scab 😊

It is an absolute beast!!!
Buck 120 lineage confirmed! I consider the blade shape to be excellent, Ka-Bar or not, that is a really nice reimagining of the design. If only Ka-Bar would do that to the "original".
Brother that's like shouting at the wall 😂 we both know that but we can both keep our fingers crossed that it'll happen
"One thing I did right here, I put the tip in--just to see how it feels..."
what do you do with all the shreded tires- you must have loads of them? Great knife
😂 but that deflection and happy anniversary. 🎉
I'm just glad to find out if it's not our fault
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors we are to perfect and humble to be at fault 😂
@@peterbiltknifeguy amen to that brother 😂😂
Nice job! It’s a nice knife, I really like it. Little pricey, but oh well 😂
Appreciate it man
Happy anniversary!
It looks like a Ka-Bar to me although the
uncoated blade resembles the Buck 120 general. 😊
Great job Scab
#22adaynomore
Sucks there not making anymore...hopefully I can find one on ebay one day.
I know man I wish they would have kept on
They still make em. DLT just got a shipment in about a month ago.
I’ve been happy with my O1 it holds up well so far 👊🏻
I am a monster fan of 01 man
yea im gonna be using that straight chopping test of some strap Scab
I think over all it looks great the scales just look cheesy but lookalike it held up well that pricecis a littel stiff but if you got why not oh ya kabar style has been my live sinnce I was10
XXLARGE! Because one X is always just disappointing, and three is inappropriate!
Damn straight brother
Happy anniversary night 🎉🎉🎉
Happy anniversary
Thank you!
man im really leaning towards sexiest knife alive forreal😂
Your right ,looks like a kabar 120

This is the one I always look for
It is a good cutter for simple tasks like sharpening a point on a stick?
Yup
Good knife. Though I sold mine a lil while back like a dummy. I do prefer them over the Buck tbh but there's nothing wrong with a Buck either. Just have to be a lil easier on 420hc is all.
Agreed brother wholeheartedly
Watch the Joe X video on the Buck 120 with 420HC steel. It was quite amazing. And then watch the S35VN model of it. He has both video's. Wach the difference. It was also amazing. I go for the lower prized one.
