Kabar grind lines

[Cloudstrife]

Hello this is my third kabar the first two had very uneven grinds especially at the tip but I still love them. My newest one has the same issue. Is this normal?

It looks normal in my experience.

That's about what you can expect for a $50-$70 knife these days. I'm not going to say "sadly" as it just is what it is. Improved quality and finish costs money.

In my experience, while the grind may be a bit rough, the integrity of kabar knives is very good. In short, you may have to monkey with the edge, but the blade will be sound.

It’s a great knife I will just try and sharpen it properly.

Can you please check if your knife is straight? On last pic down there it looks slightly bent or warped to the right side on the tip. It could be just a camera flaw tho, but I'd check anyways.

Happens sometimes. Wish it didn’t but large scale production combined with hand ground is tough sometimes.

If you’re not happy send it in.
