i want a leather handle one. i dont want to miss out on this one like i did when the d2 impacts were out and now are discontinued.
 
They seem like a really nice knife for the money to me I'm really diggin' the synthetic handle material whatever it is and also the sheath seems to more than servicable all in all I'd say it would make an outstanding general use belt knife the blade profile is excellent.
 
Not to try to hijack a thread but I got mine came in a couple of days ago and I must say I'm very impressed with the fit and finish and love the sheath. It locks up well and has no rattling like many like it do, plus being a southpaw I love the ambi sheath setup. Wasn't sure how I would feel about the grip but I am very pleased with it. Very grippy yet firm with just the right amount of cushion. It also came razor sharp. One heck of a knife for $55 delivered. Here are a couple of quick pics of mine. You can't go wrong buying this baby ;)

That is real nice :thumbup:
 
Just got mine today too. They hit a homerun with this modern classic. I'll probably pick up the leather handle one too once publicly available for collection while kraton will be my workhorse.
The knife has perfect balance, grip, quality,price and has mentioned came shaving sharp. I was in the market for such a knife... highcarbon, 6" or under, flat ground .. boker has a repro mark 1 in polished SK5, stacked leather, no steel buttcap, leather sheath, and the other i was considering was cold steel's leatherneck-sf but who knows when that will be for sale. Not my first ka-bar or even my smallest for that matter but i can see this soon becoming a favorite.
 
The stacked leather handle model is currently available at some online retailers.

I have a contest going right now, where you can win one. Just a thought.

Unfortunately Knife Outlet has the dreaded "Conus-Only" disease!
:thumbdn:
I'm hoping Kabar will make the leather version a regular issue so we can get it at any dealer that stocks Ka-bar.
Or i'll just try Ebay where sellers are less likely to be phobic of those of us outside the U.S!

If you contact Blue Ridge they may be able to put you in touch with a dealer who will ship to you. Or maybe not, I don't know. :confused: :D

By the way, Fred at Knife Outlet was great to deal with. :thumbup:
