Since the Marines have apparently retired the old KaBar, it seemed fitting to put them next to each other.
I found a forum (and lost it) where a poster was complaining that you cannot disassemble the OKC 3S and thus it's vulnerable to the tang rusting away.
Looking at the KaBar, I am wondering if the same complaints apply to it. The leather washers are far more permeable to water than the rubbery grip of the bayonet, and you can't take the KaBar apart either.
I have read complaints about the leather washers rotting away, but don't recall any stories about the tang corroding away where the rest of the knife wasn't in equally sorry condition.
