Great KA-Bar
5
This is a nice knife that is deserving of the great reputation that it has earned.  Worthy of being a presentation knife, also is a very practical tool.  Some minor oil(?) stains on the front of leather sheath was the only negative.

Stapleton's customer service was awesome!  Packed well, shipped next day after ordering, and was received on the second day.
