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. :+1: :+1:

My buddy has a spyderco the kind that shoots straight out he claims it will not open if the knife is pressed against your skin but the gash in my shoulder says other wise

Got to watch out, they have a lot of Chinese knives. I have a CRKT, and they use Chinese steel, too. I make sure to buy US steel. So pay attention to the descriptions of the knives when buying.

I have more knives laying around the house and stuck in packs/bags than I can shake a stick at. Couple of Ka-Bars, Lots of Buck, a few Kershaw, SOG, Old Timers, LOTS of cheap imports. I even have a hand-made Turkish hunting knife I picked up about 40 years ago in Adana that I have never had to sharpen. The wife uses that one. Keeps it in her top drawer.

My EDC knives are a Kershaw folder in my trousers, Buck General in my laptop bag, Buck Tanto in my desk drawer, Ka-Bar in the console of the Expedition and a Wilkinson 18-inch bayonet from a Lee Enfield rifle stuck between the seat and the console.
