A Ka-bar is crap for sea duty. BTDT.
Even though they're popular, I always seemed to break them in the field. Most popular place was where the blade narrowed at the hilt to fit in the handle. Even bent a few blades. Not to mention just how rust happy they are. Even though I take care of my gear, those times came up when it got dove hard and put up wet. A Ka-Bar wouldn't have liked that at all.
Took to carrying an Applegate-Fairbairn fighting knife. For nice camping I picked up a SOG Bowie 2.0 which is a great field knife in my opinion.
I almost picked up the SEAL Pup Elite for diving, but the Mission MPK came to me free, and since it's titanium and won't corrode...it's fine for me now!
