Outdoor Life Knives

Ka Bar knives was used by braches of the US military

The Ka Bar knife was used by braches of the US military. The United States Marine Corps, and the United States Navy. This knife was a utility and or fighting knife. Ka Bar is also a related manufacturing company known for the same 1-¾ inch utility and fighting Bowie knife. The standard knife is about 7 inches. All thought Ka Bar has many different size knives 7 inches is what they are known for. It is made from 1095 carbon steel and the handle is normally made from leather washers. Sometimes it can be made out of a non slip rubber called Kraton.

Ka Bar got its name after a letter that was written to them. It was a very poorly written letter. The author of the letter said how one of there knives saved his life when he was attacked by a bear and his gun was not able to kill it. The only thing that they where able to read was “k a bar” and the knife manufacturer choose to use this as there name. Ka Bar got its break in World War II when the knives the Marines where not what they where looking for so the Marine Corps bought knives for many different knives companies. Quickly rising to the top of the favorites was the Ka Bar knives. It was chosen as the knife that they would continue to purchase. after the War it continued to be issued out to the Marines. The shape that the knives are now as decided on by the Marine Corps. They chose to have a longer blade for combat, a smaller fuller to lighten up the blade, guard and pommel where finished in a non reflective black or gray, instead of the very reflective original polished steel. At the time of World War II millions of these knives where made and by many companies. Case knives, Camillus cutlery, and Ontario Knife Company. The good thing about these knives is they where inexpensive to make, and because of this very easy to replace, and more than adequate for most things. It was used for diving as well, all thought it broke down very quickly in the saltwater. Some forms of this knife are still very popular with outdoor sportsmen like hunters, hikers, and fishermen. Whey are also very popular with the U.S. military.

Originally the company that made Ka Bars was called the Tidioute Cutlery Company. This company was founded in 1897. After its collapse it was taken over and renamed the Union Cutlery Company and then at last renamed to what wee know today the Ka Bar Cutlery Inc. The company calls Olean New York home. Later in 1996 the Alcas Corporation, the parent company of Cutco bought Ka Bar.

Movie Review – “Up”

From Academy Award-nominated director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.) and Disney*Pixar comes the newest animated big-screen hit, “UP”. You are invited on a hilarious and heartwarming journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.
Watch Up Online Free

In the 1930′s, a beacon of hope for a down-and-out American public was a rich, clever and handsome adventurer named Charles F. Muntz (voice of Christopher Plummer). His famous mantra “Adventure is out there!” inspired his biggest fans, youngster Carl and Ellie (voice of Elie Docter).

Carl Fredrickson (voice of legendary actor Ed Asner) is not your everyday hero. He’s a bit of a grouch, but in the tradition of the great Walter Matthau and Spencer Tracy, “he’s a grouch you can love.” After retiring from the balloon business he is forced to leave the home he and his late wife, Ellie, built together. But don’t look for this 78-year-old to move into the old folks home…he’s going to live the rest of his life on his own terms. Instead he takes to the skies! He ties thousands of balloons to the roof, lifting the house into the air and heads south, finally fulfilling the promise he made to his wife so many years ago…to follow the search started by the adventurer Charles F. Muntz for proof of a rare and fantastic 13-foot-tall flightless bird from a remote mountain in South America.

But every great adventure has its unexpected challenges and nightmares. Carl’s manifest themselves in the form of an enthusiastic, overly optimistic, 8-year-old Junior Wilderness Explorer from Tribe 54, Sweat Lodge 12, named Russell (voice of 9-year-old Jordan Nagai, making his acting debut). Equipped with a backpack loaded with official Wilderness Explorer camping gear, Russell is ready for a wilderness adventure. Here comes the challenging (and often hilarious) part: his only camping experience to date was in his own living room, his knowledge of all things outdoors comes from books and he’s never left the city!

Their journey would not be complete without surviving extreme weather, treacherous terrain, strange inhabitants of a lost world-as well as each other. The “strange inhabitants” include Kevin (voice of Bob Peterson), an extremely rare 13-foot-tall flightless bird with a sweet tooth (something he and Russell have in common) and a penchant for getting himself into some very curious and seemingly impossible situations.

Then there are the members of a pack of dogs on a mission to capture a rare bird that their master is pursuing, which includes Dug, a lovable golden mutt mocked as the nerd of the pack. Pack leader is Alpha (voice of Bob Peterson), a menacing-looking, black-as-night Doberman Pincher. Beta (voice of Delroy Lindo), a tough Rottweiler, is Alpha’s lieutenant, and Gamma (voice of Jerome Ranft), a rough-and-tumble Bulldog, is Alpha’s hench-dog. All the dogs have high-tech collars that give them unusual abilities specially designed for sinister hunting expeditions, including GPS tracking and translating their thoughts into speech. Having been sent into the jungle on a “Special” mission, Dug accidentally succeeds when he discovers the bird following Carl and Russell. Now they are being pursued through the jungle by Dug’s own pack and nothing will detract this pack from their mission. Well, maybe a squirrel!

Along the way “Carl discovers that life’s true adventure can be found not in travel or great accomplishments, but in the everyday relationships that we have with friends and family”.

A special note to all you movie buffs out there: John Ratzenberger gives voice to the Construction Foreman Tom who tries to persuade Carl to sell his home to Tom’s boss, a major contractor. Mr. Ratzenberger is the only actor to voice a character in all 10 of Disney*Pixar’s films.
