“I saw these back in 2007 and loved the blade design and made a note to investigate them later. The spear point is perfect for penetration, but the blade can handle cutting tasks as well. By the time I got back to investigate them, Ka-Bar discontinued them.” "It is an impressive Bob Dozier design. The blade is a versatile design and sheath snaps the blade securely in place."
