The KA-BAR Big Brother Fixed Blade Knife is the perfectly named next step in the evolution of KA-BAR knives. The Big Brother is a significant step up from the standard sized KA-BAR. The 9.38" blade is made from 1095 Cro-Van Steel which is a very tough steel that will easily withstand even the most difficult cutting tasks and will still take and hold an extremely sharp edge. The noticably wider blade improves the overall handling of knife as well as adding weight that is beneficial when using the knife around camp. The most noticable addition-apart from the increased size is the addition of serrations along the spine of the blade. These serrations (NOT saw teeth) allow the knife to have a continuous plain working edge and still have the serrations along the backside to cut through tough, fibrous materials.
