Knives, like pistols, come in many shapes and sizes for different intended uses. To answer the question posed by the title of this thread; yes - a KA-BAR is indeed worth having. It is a top-shelf knife that is well made and will provide you with a lifetime of service even with minimal care. As for being practical, which one, and for what situations, that would depend on what you had in mind for its probable use. For a survival knife, bushcraft, etc.? For a knife fighting knife? For an EDC/CC knife? IMO, there is no one answer to the question. Each of the above pictured have a different intended use. As written above by @BRUCE26 , the short KA-BAR would make a good “all-around” utility knife. They are all very nice, BTW.

The original K-Bar was a well designed all purpose knife that could punch through ration cans and puncture an enemy combatant as a last resort weapon or “silent” kill tool with ease. It was never meant to be a civilian SD or concealment tool but thousands of them made it back from the war and served (and are still serving) long years of duty as camp and hunting knives. The new ones are still selling well.
For just about any duty you can come up with there is a better alternative in a dedicated design, but as an all around tool they are hard to beat.
It’s worth having one in inventory because Ontario Knife Company just went belly up and sadly I feel the days of the USA made, popularly priced all-purpose knife are leaving us, so they might be next in line for extinction.
