For what? And how much do you want to spend?
Strider makes a great one, Cold Steel aint bad for the price.

If you just want a regular USMC KBar, KBar is an ok brand.

If you're looking for a standard USMC pattern combat/utility knife, look at the Case XX version. True in detail to the old WW II format. Unfinished stacked leather handle, parked blade etc.

Ontario was contracted by them to make components like the blades.

The newer KA BAR, has an expoxied finished blade, handle profile is different and the leather handles is a smooth coated finish.

I have the Case version. I compared it to my vintage unissued Camillus MK2 combat knife and its virtually identical.

I've got the Case and the Kabar. Both are OK versions. I
