没落的KA-BAR

提起美国的KA-BAR,对美国装备熟悉的网友应该不会陌生。该刀厂曾经是美国陆刀标准军刺M-7和M-9的供应商。但是现在KA-BAR已经好景不再了。原因有多方面,不过最主要的是该厂没有听从***的教诲,没有与时倶进。刀款没有创新、刃物钢材落后,这两点足以至命。下图是KA-BAR2000年后设计的一款新的战术刀,采用1059高炭钢。对于这款刀没有什么好说的,唯一好处--便宜。约合七百人民币有交易。

[/quote]有图片吗,我倒是见过4家厂的M9,有3家厂的M9,但未知卡巴也有M0造,请教了.不是抬杠,真是不知道.
的确是偶错了,KA-BAR没有做M9,他做的是U.S.M.C.特战刀…………
世界上生产M9的厂有四家:
美國 Ontario Knife Company 廠
美國 Lan-Cay G.I. ISSUE
美國 BUCK 廠產
北方工業
KA BAR (卡巴) Knives, Inc 總公司Alcas Corporation是國際名刀具工廠,世界知名出品有U.S.M.C.特戰刀、打獵刀、魚刀、收藏刀等…


KA BAR 刀廠總部成立於美國紐約,曾於1998年慶祝其公司成立100週年。自1942年二次大戰爆發後不久,KA BAR刀廠提交首批軍刀與U.S.M.C. (美國海軍陸戰隊) 隊員使用。 軍方於3年後,1945年確認其軍刀之可靠性能而把該刀命名為U.S.M.C. Fighting/Utility Knife "美國海軍陸戰格鬥及多用途刀" 而其他武裝部隊也開始被建議採用此刀。


戰爭其間,KABAR生產了共超過一百萬把軍刀,曾在供不應求之情況下,KABAR刀廠直接受權予其他生產商生產其他類型之軍刀給各軍隊使用,及在刀上印上其他生產商之名稱,但出廠的每一把刀也被認為名符其實是KABAR軍刀 ! 是因為基於它的質量和耐用性,獲很多使用者對此刀之信賴,作為日常工作之用 -- 例如修理裝置、挖狐洞、磨利帳蓬支柱、開罐頭和最重要是在戰亂時代作為一種防身利器。


由於 KABAR 軍刀的知名度於二次大戰後大大提高,其後於韓,越戰,沙漠風暴等戰爭中也被積極採用。


及後軍方個別投入需求而再加改進,令KABAR刀之其他型號在往後軍隊服務中有更出色的表現。


除了出名之U.S.M.C.軍刀外,KABAR近代刀具還有其他探險者用刀,求生刀,戶外活動用刀及收藏刀等等… KABAR已標誌著美國人的里程。

KA-BAR was there!

The original KA-BAR United States Marine Corps World War II Fighting Knife is "an American legend."

Ask World War II Marines what knife they depended on during the war and you will get only one answer - a KA-BAR! This is the story of one of the world's most famous fighting knives.

On December 9, 1942, after the start of World War II, KA-BAR submitted a fighting/utility knife to the United States Marine Corps in hopes that it would become general issue to that branch of the military. At the first signs of offensive operation on Guadalcanal, Marines received a Marine Raider Stiletto, made by another company (after the shipment had first been delivered, in error, to San Francisco). The Marines weren't happy with this knife, and soon a new, improved fighting/utility knife - the KA-BAR - was under production.

These knives soon became the prized possession of every fighting Marine. Marines depended on it for a combat weapon and for such everyday tasks as pounding tent stakes, driving nails, opening ration cans, digging foxholes, and of course, defending their lives. A KA-BAR was constantly at the side of a Marine.

The dependability and quality of the wartime KA-BARS were the result of a stringent approach to their production. In addition to the contact on-premised quality control procedures of the U.S.M.C. and Navy Supply Depot inspectors, Dan Brown, then president of KA-BAR, and the entire KA-BAR company, were dedicated to making this knife their contribution to the war effort. As a result of this personal involvement, the KA-BAR knife met all types of tests without failing. Even tough Marine Corps and Navy tests were supplemented by additional trials: driving the knife deep into a 6" x 6" timber and straining the blade back and forth at extreme angles, constantly testing edge retention in cutting through all types of materials, and submitting the leather handles to severe atmospheric and corrosion tests to be sure they would hold up under cold, heat, or jungle rot without loosening or decomposing. The many thousands of KA-BARS produced during World War II performed well, and the people at KA-BAR were proud of the reports that came back from all areas of operations.

As the war escalated, the demand for these knives was so great that the KA-BAR factory alone could not keep up. The government assigned several knife companies to create similar knives as supplemental pieces. Among these companies were Camillus, Robeson, and Pal. KA-BAR's wartime production totaled more than one million. The KA-BAR knives became so well recognized for their quality and so abundant in number that "Kabar" became the reference to the entire knife pattern, regardless of whether the knife was manufactured at the KA-BAR facility.

During World War II, the KA-BAR Fighting Knife earned the greatest respect, not only from the Marines, but also from those who served in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams, all of whom were eventually issued the U.S.M.C. KA-BARS.

Years later, during the Korean, Vietnam, and Desert Storm conflicts, many KA-BARS were informally re-activated into military service, as World War II veterans remembered how well the knife served them and passed their personal KA-BARS onto their children.

The Commemorative KA-BAR
World War II ended and KA-BAR Fighting Knives went out of production for 32 years. At that time, the original KA-BAR factory in Olean, New York, and some of the craftsmen who worked on the original knife began production again to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. KA-BAR wanted to recognize this great milestone in U.S.M.C. history by issuing a "full dress" model of the original KA-BAR, a limited edition that would be meaningful to the Marines.

Throughout the production of the commemorative knife, a few KA-BAR senior employees proudly performed the same tasks they had worked on during the war effort, 1942-1945. The completed knives were a true work of art and spirit, retaining the look, feel, and performance of a battle-ready combat knife. KA-BAR was proud to present Serial No. 1 to the Commandant of the Marine Corps. This knife is now on display in the U.S.M.C. Museum at Quantico.

KA-BAR comes back
The U.S.M.C. Commemorative was so enthusiastically received that it became obvious that the old KA-BAR Fighting/Utility Knife had retained its reputation throughout the years. The limited production Commemorative was quickly taken up by Marines, knife enthusiasts, and collectors, and KA-BAR knew that it should now be returned to production, in its standard issue form, with all of the original specifications. Fortunately, the original blueprints were in the company archives.

So the "fighting KA-BAR" got back into its original gear and today it continues to be a favorite among Marines who adopt it as their own personal option knife and carry it into active service. The KA-BAR is also a favorite of adventurers, survivalists, outdoor sportsmen, and knife collectors who know that this knife is an "American legend."
