## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Combat Kukri lighter than the 1249 Kukri?**
A: Chris,The combat kukri is 3 inches shorter than the 1249. It is lighter. If you are using it for a self defense weapon it is a great knife. I have both but for use in the woods the 1249 is by far better than the combat

**Q: Areall of you sure it was american made? I bought mine from amazon and it has made in china on it**
A: The box sticker:  " KA-BAR 1280 Combat Kukri Knife Made in USA. Polyester Sheath Made in China"The knife:  "KA-BAR  OLEAN, N.Y.  USA 1280"

**Q: Is this a better all around tool than the 1249?**
A: That depends on your usage/needs. The 1249 has an 11.5 inch blade, and weighs 1.3 lbs, while the Combat Kubrick has a blade 8.5 inches, and is lighter in weight.  If most of your usage would be ACTUAL cutting, clearing brush, and other FAIRLY HEAVY cutting, I would go bigger (the 1249).  As most of MY use is OCCASIONAL cutting, but mostly CARRYING, the shorter and lighter Combat model works better for me. I prefer the almost horizontal left-side (cutting edge down) belt carry position, using an aftermarket sheath like the Cleveland Kydex or Valhalla products, which works quite well for my right-hand “cross-draw” style of accessing the knife, and it stays out of my way otherwise for normal movement such as bending down kneeling, etc.  I think the larger 1249 would be more in your way unless you carried in a more vertical position suspended from a big enough belt.  Both of them are really tough, high quality knives (as you would expect from Ka-Bar).  
Hope this helps.
William H.

**Q: what is the blade thickness along spine?**
A: The blade thickness is .165
