Made in the USA: KA-BAR Knives, a Bona Fide Slice of Americana

By Ray Hu - July 19, 2012

in Video

Film production company Common Machine doesn't mince its words when it comes to their latest project, for KA-BAR knives: "The company may be more than a century old, but its emerging marketing philosophy is (if you'll forgive the pun) cutting edge: No more old media, just badass branded entertainment for the Web."

Which shouldn't detract from your viewing experience in the least: the sub-2.5-minute short hits that double sweet spot of American manufacturing heritage and superior production value.

If that doesn't make you want a KA-BAR knife, I regret to inform you that you're not a blue-blooded American... perhaps you'd be more interested to see the Australian and European alternatives (for manufacturing videos, not knives... Crocodile Dundee has nothing on us).

Great. Thanks. I'll remember that next time hand-to-hand combat threatens.

A knife is far more dangerous in almost every violent situation except where there is adequate distance for proper engagement with a firearm. Guns are not very dangerous at point blank range, but a skilled fighter will cut you to ribbons!

Blue-bloods? Who are blue-bloods? Vampires? The police? Why would a vampire be afraid of a steel knife? I could see maybe silver. But not steel. And for the police, you should familiarize yourself with the saying about bringing a knife to a gun fight. No. The police have little fear of a knife.

I used to be a Cutco salesman in high school; Cutco is Ka-bar's home cutlery division. Sharpest freaking knives ever.
