Reddit reviews KA-BAR 1317, Dog's Head Utility Knife W/Sheath

I’d consider that faulty personally and I can see why it bothers you. Wonder if they have any designs of Ka Bar with a thicker guard on it?

Edit: found one! “KA-BAR 1317, Dog's Head Utility Knife W/Sheath https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VJUS1II/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oXGxDbZ7HWN78”

Here's a link to ka-bar model that doesn't have any military markings on it. Had mine for almost a year and it has held up great. Only difference I noticed is the pommel is slightly larger, which I actually prefer.

Kabar makes their dog head knife which almost identical except it’s meant for civilians so there’s no military markings
