Ka-Bar Single Mark Fixed Blade Knife - 11.875" Overall Length, Brown Leather Handle - Hunting, Camping & Outdoor Survival Tool

The Ka-bar Single Mark is my favorite knife of this pattern so far. I own the Ontario version, also bought the Case version and returned it. The Ka-bar Single Mark I received displays higher quality fit and finish than those other knives. It arrived sharp, very sharp and ready to go right from the box. I like the zinc phosphate coating on the Ontario and Case versions better than the powder coating or whatever on the Ka-bar. The Ontario 498 is runner up with a lower price, but dull as a butter knife out of the box. The Case was rough looking and dull with many sanding irregularities on the leather handle along with a similar price to the Ka-bar; returned. As always YMMV, these are just my experiences with the knives I received. That being said I have two versions of this Ka-bar pattern and both are very good.
