Andy;A neighbor's son , who I taught in high school , joined the Marines a few years ago.
After boot Camp and a tour over in Afghanistan he came home on leave and in the course of his visit I learned that he nor any of his fellow Marines were issued a Kabar or any knife for that matter....
They could however , carry a field knife , while he was asking my advice on a knife....
I gave him a "Karbar" of mine...A WWII Issued Robson made "Kabar" with a Navy MKII scabbard.
Problem solved....

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown!!!
