New USSF Items

[OFFICIAL_KA-BAR]

After more delays then an actual space mission, we are pleased to release the initial offerings in our "USSF" line. Our hope is to continue to expand this line, though that will be dictated by its success. Early reception has been excellent; this type of product line tends to bring more eyes from outside of our usual community, who in turn discover other KA-BAR products. It has not been an easy year to do much of anything besides ship orders and these were a long time coming, but we are proud to have gotten them released before the end of the year. We have a number of additional new products in other lines to be released in the first quarter of 2021 if all goes as planned. Thanks for riding out this storm with us in 2020.

My goodness. United States Space Force knives. What an age we live in.

I've got every other variation of the USMC, guess I've gotta have a USSF one.

Your profile does not indicate where you are. Are you in the US or overseas? If you are overseas, in many countries you are redirected to a local Kabar distributor's website.

Hi zzyzzogeton I'm actually in Poland, but it's not redirecting, it's displaying error message like when the website could not be reached.

Update: just tried Opera browser with built in VPN and kabar.com works. But it's strange to block traffic from outside US to their website.

This thread has a "kinda" explanation by Official_Ka-bar (post 15).

There may have been other changes since Sept 2019. Why you can see the site via 1 browser and not the other, is another mystery.

Ok, the folder is growing on me. Kabar thank you for having this made in Taiwan vs China. I wish the Becker folder had followed suit. Anyone had one of the older folders similar to the space force one? I think there was a Johnson Outdoors model that looked similar. Just wondering about the lock-up and play?

So I just got this complete set from my amazing wifey. Anybody seen any other gear (tools, flashlights, EDC Gadgets, etc...) that match the color scheme of this set? I have this hairbrained idea to build a USSF survival/tool case with all matched tools.

How’s the folder?

 

[Knife_Geek]

How’s the folder?

Feels solid. Its certainly a budget folder. that said fit and finish is good. Centering is good. Reasonably sharp out of the box.

 

[jstrange]

Any up and down play?

 

[Knife_Geek]

Nope. Solid up and down. Very minimal side to side. Exactly as much as you might expect in a knife 3X the price.
